Quelle eau besoin?

If your tap water is soft or medium (equal or less than 18^ / 11^ / 1.8mmol / l ), you may use your tap water. If it's not the case, we advise you to mix it with industrial standard demineralised water: 1/3 tap water 2/3 demineralised water.

To find out the exact hardness of your tap water, use the enclosed water test strip.

Never use additives, deionizised water or water softened with salt, neither distilled water, nor recovery water from the linen-drier, as these products are detrimental to the good quality of the steam.

• Before filling the tank with water be sure the appliance is unplugged.

• Fill up the tank with a maximum of 0,8 liter of water (see page B), check with the hydrometer pole (7) supplied, the quantity of liquid already in it.

• Rinse the boiler after every 20 uses. Fill the boiler with hot tap water, shake vigorously and empty it.
• Caution: never use a descending agent: this could damage the boiler.

Advice for ironing various fabrics

General rule

• Use steam for all kinds of fabrics. (You can naturally also iron certain fabrics without steam if you prefer).
• To obtain even better ironing results and to extend the length of time before having to refill the water tank go over once using steam, then again without steam to dry the fabric.

Adjusting the temperature of the iron

The temperature control knob on the upper side of your iron serves to regulate the temperature of the sole plate and does not affect the quantity or the temperature of the steam produced. We recommend ironing all types of fabric at the same temperature (position A), as professionals do.

Silk

Iron silk as usual, using steam (for dark silk it is advisable to use the Softpressing sole-plate which you may obtain separately at your sales point).

Wool and angora pullovers

Steam the garment without touching, from a height of about 10cm , then pick the garment up and shake it to restore its original volume and shape.

Removing creases

Suspended the garment by hand or on a hanger, lightly touch the fabric with the iron using steam. Attention: creases can easily be removed from practically all types of fabric this way, with the exception cotton, linen and certain kinds of silk. If a fabric does not respond well to this kind of crease removal, put it on the ironing board and iron it in the normal manner. For sleeves, use a small sleeveboard.

Special fabrics

Velvet, corduroy velvet, jersey

If not using the Softpressing sole-plate, steam the garment without touching from a height of about 1cm then smooth out the creases by hand.
