USEFUL ADVICE
•Velvet, wollen fabrics, etc. as well as gloves, bags and so on will recover their original look and softness. Just pass the iron at a short distance with the steam on.
•Carpets will become like new again by removing the mark left by furniture placed on them; make the steam penetrate into the carpet where the nap has been pressed and brush it softly.
•Neither use or lean the iron on zips, hooks, rings, etc. to avoid scratching the plate.
•The surface of the plate must be kept clean: to clean it, just wipe the cold surface with a damp cloth. The iron mustn’t be treated with decalcifying detergents.
•After using it, always wait till the iron is cold before putting it away.
•Put the iron in a dry place.
•When finished ironing, there is no need to drain the remaining water in the steam generator. The water should however be drained if the appliance is not used for an extended period.
•Sor t out clothes according to the recommended ironing temperature and begin to iron the ones that require the lowest temperature.
•Silk textiles can be dry-pressed on the reverse.
•Wollen, cotton and fine linen can be steamironed on the reverse or on the right side by
putting a thin cloth to avoid “shine”. Stached textiles need more steam. Iron whites and light colours on the right side; iron dark colours on the reverse as well as embroidery to make it stand out.
•Linen textiles can be steam-ironed by abundantly steaming the material and by ironing dark colours on the reverse to avoid “shine”. Iron lapels on the right side to make them stand out.
•Each time you start operating the steam generator (and the first time you use it) or if you haven’t used steam for some minutes: press the steam control button several times and away from the ironing board. This will remove the cold water from the steam circuit.
•The domestic iron is provided with a special device which allows you to have a steam supply “on the whole plate” or “concentrated on the tip”. If you want a steam supply “on the whole plate”, press the steam supply button
(2) with the iron in a horizontal position. If you keep the button (2) pressed and move the iron in a vertical position, the steam supply will continue “on the whole plate”.
If you want a steam supply “concentrated on the tip”, press the steam supply button (2) with the iron in a vertical position. If you keep the button (2) pressed and move the iron in a horizontal position, the steam supply will continue “concentrated on the tip”.
