Check the laundry care label of the article to be ironed to determine the

required ironing temperature.

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 is not

visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to

prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.

1 To set the appropriate ironing temperature, turn the temperature

dial to the appropriate position (see the table above) (Fig. 5).

2 Put the iron on its heel.

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

,The temperature light goes on.

 9

Do not set the steam control to a steam setting if you have set a

low ironing temperature (below 2/ WOOL setting) or when the iron

is still heating up (as long as the temperature light is on). Otherwise

water will leak from the iron.

4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start

ironing.

,During ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time.

This indicates that the iron is heating up to the set temperature.

5 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting

you select is suitable for the set ironing temperature:

- O for no steam (for all temperature settings). (Fig. 2)

- small cloud for minimum steam (temperature settings 2 and

3. (Fig. 6)

- large cloud for maximum steam (temperature settings 3 to

MAX. (Fig. 7)

You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the article

to be ironed. This helps remove stubborn creases.

1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be

ironed (Fig. 8).
