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

• Follow these ironing instructions in any case.

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

• 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.

• To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.

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

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set at the 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.

Do not immerse the appliance or the cord set or the plug in water or any other liquid.

• Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

• Do not use scouring pads.

• If necessary, use a mild detergent to remove spots. Do not use any abrasive or solvent based cleaner. Do not use chemical based de-scaling agents.
