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.

Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (GC4444, GC4440, GC4430

only)

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.

2 PressandholdtheIonicDeepSteambutton(Fig.8).

TheIonicDeepSteamlightgoesonandyouhearahummingsound

thetoughestcreases.

Note:The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in

combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between 2

and MAX.

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.

Note:The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time, depending on

the ironing temperature.
