SUGGESTIONS

Divide the articles to be ironed according to the types of material: wool with wool,

cotton with cotton, etc... as the iron heats up much more quickly than it cools

down. It is advisable to start with those fabrics that 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 ﬁber, always set the temperature

to the ﬁber that requires less heat. For example, if the material is made up of

70% synthetics and 30% cotton, set the temperature control to position (•) (see

table) without steam, that is, the temperature for synthetic fabrics. If you do not

know the composition of the article to be ironed, choose a part of the article

that 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, 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

Turn off the boiler by pressing the switch (L). The appliance is still energized when

plugged in and it is possible to eliminate the pressure remaining in the boiler

by pressing the steam button (D). Turn the appliance off by pressing the switch

(O). Remove the power cable from the outlet. Wait for a few minutes to let the

appliance cool down. Very carefully unscrew the cap of the boiler (B) and before

unscrewing it completely wait until any sound of escaping steam has stopped (Fig.

8). Let the iron cool down on its stand, taking care not to touch the power cables

and connection with the hot parts of the appliance. Afterwards empty the boiler

completely to prevent water from stagnating in the boiler, which may form lime

deposits. Place the appliance back on top of a stable surface and out of the reach

of children.
