Selecting the temperature and the steam settings

Fabric type	Temperature	Steam	Steam
	setting	setting	boost
Linen	MAX	&	Yes
Cotton	3	&	Yes
Wool	2	$	N.A.
Silk	1	0	N.A.
Synthetic fabrics	1	0	N.A.
(e.g.Acrylic,
nylon, polyamide,
polyester).

-- Check the laundry care label for 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 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. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.

1To set the appropriate ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate position

(see‘Temperature and steam settings table’) (Fig. 4).

2Set the appropriate steam setting  (see

‘Temperature and steam settings table’).

Note:Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the set ironing temperature.

3Put the iron on its heel.

4Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket. ,, The temperature light goes on.

5When 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.

Using the appliance

Note:The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.This stops after a short while.

Steam ironing

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

2Set the recommended ironing temperature (see chapter‘Preparing for use’,‘Temperature and steam setting table’).

3Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting is suitable for the ironing temperature selected:
