When switching on the iron for the rst
time, you may notice an unpleasant
odour, a little smoke and some impurities that
will disappear in a few minutes. When using
the steam function for the rst time, do not
direct the steam jet on the garments because
of the possible presence of manufacturing
residues in the steam dispenser.

TIPS
• Sortthegarmentsoutaccordingtothefabric
type. This will reduce the need to adjust
the temperature according to the different
fabrics.
• Startwiththegarmentsthatrequirealower
ironing temperature and continue with the
garments with gradually higher ironing
temperature.
• If you are not sure about the composition
of the fabric, try ironing a hidden corner,
such as a seam, hem or internal section.
Start with a low temperature and gradually
increasethetemperatureinordertondthe

• Whenyoureducetheironingtemperatureto

• Pure wool (100% wool) garments can be
