Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
1for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
1for silk
2for wool
3for cotton
MAX for linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be
visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny patches.To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic bres.

Note:The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it reaches the set
temperature.

from the soleplate (see chapter ‘Features, section ‘Drip stop’).
Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430

When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the
steam produced is ner than during regular steam ironing. Fine steam
reaches deeper, especially into thick fabrics.This helps you to remove
stubborn creases easily.

combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between 2

Note: Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam
and/or at low temperature settings. However, ironing at low temperatures
without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on will not
damage the iron.
