INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE
HINTS BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Some parts of iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron might
slightly smoke when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this
will cease.
2. Before using the iron first remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate
with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the soleplate smooth; do not scratch against metal object (e.g. rack of
ironing board, buttons, zippers.)
4. Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam
position. Preferably select steam selector position and use a dry pressing cloth.

HOW TO USE IRON
Setting the Temperature
1. Always check first whether ironing instructions are attached to the article to
be ironed. (They can be found on a label showing a drawing of an iron. The
number of dots indicate the correct temperature. Refer to the indications on the
temperature dial.) Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
2. If ironing instructions are missing but you do know the kind of fabric, then see
the temperature dial as below. This is valid for the actual material and do not
concern any applied finish.
3. Textile to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle, relief etc.)
can best be ironed at somewhat lower temperature.
4. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the
lowest ironing temperature of the composition. (E.g. an article consisting of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for
polyester (*) and without steam.)
5. Sort the fabrics according to ironing temperature first; wool with wool, cotton with
cotton etc. The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing
the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic
fibres. Then progress to the higher ones.
6. Turn the temperature control knob round until it is opposite the setting pointer.
Tips for Ironing
1. Sort out the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimize
the frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments.
2. Test ironing a small area on the backside or inside the garment if you are unsure
about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
3. Wait for about three minutes before ironing heat sensitive fabrics. Temperature
adjustment needs certain time to reach the required level no matter it is higher
or lower.
4. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing
cloth to prevent shine marks.
5. You may need a few times of press to activate the spray, burst of steam and
vertical steam burst function.
