• The iron is now ready for use.

SUGGESTIONS

• First check whether the fabric has a label containing ironing instructions and compare the symbol with the instructions which follow. If there is no label with instructions, but you know the type of material, follow the instructions below. Note that the table refers to fabrics not treated with sizing agents or similar products; if they have been, you can also iron at a lower temperature.
• Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.

• Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures. If the material is made up of more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the material is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position (•) (see table) without steam. that is. the temoerature for synthetic fabrics.

  

If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article which will not be seen. Do a test ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until the ideal temperature is reached). Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions. To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only, using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.

Auto-off function

• If the appliance is on but not in use, the auto-off function is activated after 10 minutes. The appliance emits an acoustic signal.
• To reactivate the appliance, press the steam button (G). After 60 seconds, the iron is ready to use.
• When the auto-off function is activated, the appliance is not totally off.
• After another 10 minutes, the appliance definitely turns off. To restart the appliance, unplug and replug the power cord into the socket.

AFTER IRONING

• Unplug it from the electric outlet.
• Empty the water tank completely so as to prevent the water from stagnating, which may form lime deposit (Fig. 8)
• Put the power cord and the cable connecting the iron to the appliance in the appropriate compartment (M)| (Fig. 9),
• Put the appliance back on top of a stable surface and out of the reach of children.
• Let the iron cool down on its stand, taking care not to touch the power cables and connection with the hot parts of the appliance.
