Ironing Tips

Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article.

The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres.

If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibres.

Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side.

Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any given moment.

Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position. Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.

Note: when ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.

NEVER TOUCH THE SOLEPLATE DURING USE. NEVER DIRECT STEAM AT PEOPLE OR BODY PARTS

Cleaning and Maintainance

AFTER IRONING

Before cleaning, disconnect the power outlet and let the appliance cool down FULLY.

1. Wipe flakes and any other deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. NOTE: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to scrape the soleplate.
2. Clean the upper part of iron and thermal insulating cushion with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly
3. To remove the mineral deposits collecting inside the steam generator, firstly put the iron horizontally on a level surface, then tilt the steam generator and unscrew the drain water cap with the attached screwer, and then drain the steam generator.
   WARNING: To avoid a risk of scald, make sure the steam generator has cooled down completely before unscrewing the drain water cap.
4. After draining, screw the drain water cap light and put the steam generator right way up again
5. If you don't plan to use the steam generator for a long time, pour out the water in the tank, and store the iron on the thermal insulating cushion.
6. Wind the steam supply hose and power cord around the cord winding groove and secure it by the cord clamps.

DESCALING

To clear the iron of limescale build up put 2 x tablespoons (50ml) of vinegar into 1 litre of water. Mix thoroughly and add to the water tank. Operate the steam function of the iron for about 10 minutes (don't iron garments) to clear limescale build-up from internal components.

After descaling, empty the tank and rinse out. Drain any water from the base as directed above.
