tank.

Setting the temperature
The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This will cease after a
short while.
1 Put the iron on its heel and set the temperature dial to the required ironing temperature by
turning it to the appropriate position (Fig. 4).
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.
2 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
