- 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.
1 To set the appropriate ironing temperature, turn the temperature
dial to the appropriate position (see ‘Temperature and steam
settings table’) (Fig. 4).
2 Set the appropriate steam setting (see ‘Temperature and steam
settings table’).
Note: Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the set
ironing temperature.
3 Put the iron on its heel.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
,The temperature light goes on.
5 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while before you start
ironing.
,During ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time.
