Tips

Always check the ironing instructions in your clothes. See the table below for the correct temperature setti

· ACRYLIC Synthet	tic fabrics such as nylon and polyester
· SILK Silk
· WOOL Wool
· COTTON Cotton
MAX LINEN Linen

• Always start by ironing fabrics that need to be ironed at a low temperature. Then iron fabrics that can be ironed at a higher temperature.
• If you set the temperature control dial to a lower setting, wait until the temperature indication light turns back on. Once the set temperature has been reached, the light will go out and you can continue ironing. This ensures that the appliance's temperature is not too high.
• For fabrics made from mixed fibres, adjust the iron's temperature setting for the most delicate fibre.
  If you have not used the appliance for a number of weeks, first carry out the procedure described in 'Using for the first time'.
• If you are using starch, clean the soleplate every so often with a soft, damp cloth to prevent scale build-up during use.
