HINTS BEFORE FIRST USE
• Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron might smoke
slightly when switched ‘ON’ for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
• Before using for the first time remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate
with a soft cloth.
• Keep the soleplate smooth: do not scratch against metal objects (e.g. rack of ironing
board, buttons, zippers)
• Pure woolen 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.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
• Always check first to see 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 numbers of dots
indicate the correct temperature. Refer to the indications on the temperature dial and
in the table below). Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
• If ironing instructions are missing but you do know the kind of fabric, then see the
below. The table is valid for the actual materials and do not concern any applied finish,
gloss etc.
• Textile to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle relief etc.) can
best be ironed on somewhat lower temperatures.
• Sort the fabrics out according to ironing temperature first: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc. The iron heats up quicker than it cool downs. Therefore, start ironing the
articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Then
progress to higher ones.
• Turn the temperature control knob round until it is opposite the setting pointer.
