Warning!
Do not iron fabrics held by other people.
suggesTIons
Check that on the tissue there is a label with directions for ironing and compare the symbol on the label with the following
table. If there is no label with instructions, but you know the type of material, follow the instructions below. Note that the table
refers to fabrics not treated with sizing agents or similar products; if they have been, you can also iron at a lower tempera-
ture. When you change the temperature by turning the thermostat knob (I), the indicator light (Q) will flash indicating that
the temperature has not been reached. Wait that the indicator light (Q) comes on with steady light before supplying steam.
Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require
lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures. If the material is made up of
more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the material
is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position (
the temperature for synthetic fabrics.

The mark on the label means do not iron
If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article which will not be seen. Do a test
ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until
the ideal temperature is reached). Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions.
To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For
other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only,
using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.
AfTer IronIng
Turn off the appliance by pressing the switch (T). Remove the power cable from the socket-outlet. Empty the water tank
completely so as to prevent the water from stagnating, which may form lime deposit (Fig. 12).
Let the iron cool down on its stand, taking care not to touch the power cables and connection with the hot parts
of the appliance.
The appliance is equipped with a cord winding base. Wrap the power cord (L) around the winding base (O). Position the
iron / boiler connecting cable in the cable clip (E). Put the appliance back on top of a stable surface and out of the reach
of children.
