Frequently Asked Questions - SGA 8328B BEKO

Water droplets may appear if you press the steam trigger before the iron reaches the set temperature. Wait until the iron readiness symbol turns off completely before using steam. Also, ensure the temperature setting is above the '•' (lowest) setting.

Can I iron silk and other delicate fabrics?

Yes, you can iron silk, synthetic, and other delicate fabrics. Use a low temperature setting (• or ••) and iron them inside out to avoid shine. The 'Smart' mode is also safe for all ironable fabrics.
