suggesTIOns
Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
Because the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools down, it is advisable to start with those fabrics which require
lower temperatures and move on to those which require progressively higher temperatures. If the material is made up of
more than one type of fibre, always set the temperature to the fibre which requires less heat. For example, if the material
is made up of 70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position (
the temperature for synthetic fabrics.
If you do not know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article which will not be seen. Do a test
ironing on this part to establish the appropriate temperature (always start with a relatively low temperature and work up until
the ideal temperature is reached). Pure (100%) wool articles can be ironed with the iron set to one of the steam positions.
To avoid pure wool, silk and synthetic materials becoming shiny, it makes good sense to iron them on the reverse side. For
other materials, especially velvet, which can become shiny very easily, cover them with a cloth and iron in one direction only,
using light pressure. The iron must be kept constantly moving over the fabric.

AfTer IrOnIng

to prevent lime residue from forming, empty the tank following use and after having turned off the appliance and
unplugged it from the socket-outlet.
Turn off the appliance by pressing the switch (E). The appliance is still energized when plugged in and it is possible to elimi-
nate the pressure remaining in the boiler by pressing the steam button (I). Remove the power cable from the socket-outlet.
Empty the water tank completely so as to prevent the water from stagnating, which may form lime deposit (Fig. 12). Leave
the iron to cool down on its stand grille (L), then put it away, taking care that hot parts of the iron do not come into contact
with the power supply cable and connecting cable.

Warning!
Before cleaning, always disconnect the plug from the power point and allow the iron to cool down on its stand grille.
Warning!
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Warning!
Check the state of the power cable of your iron on a regular basis before using it, and if it is damaged, take it to the
service centre closest to you to have it replaced only by specialised personnel.

cleaning the soleplate

Any deposits and other residue material on the soleplate can be removed using a cloth soaked in a water and vinegar solu-
tion. Always dry the soleplate with a dry cloth.
Warning!
Do not use abrasives for cleaning the soleplate. Try and keep the soleplate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.
