Preparation
Before ironing starts, we recommend the
following:
-
Laundry to be ironed should be sorted
according to the fabric ironing
temperature indicated on the label. Start
with the lowest temperature.
-
Information on the appropriate ironing
temperature can usually be found on the
garment’s characterisation label.
-
The meaning of the symbols is as follows:
• Synthetics
(low temperature)
•• Silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• Cotton and linen
(high temperature)
The markings also appear on the
temperature control knob in the form of dot
symbols.
In addition, please note the following:
-
When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
may carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, eg inside of seam.
-
If the laundry is being dried in a dryer
before ironing, the temperature should
be adjusted to “iron dry”. Very dry
fabrics are difficult to iron.
●For storage, and also when ironing is
interrupted, the iron must be placed
upright on its base stand (resting
position).
Ironing
Place the iron upright on its base stand,
insert the plug into the wall socket and set
the infinitely adjustable temperature control
knob to the required temperature. (Refer to
temperature information on the label).
During the heating-up process the indicator
lamp will be on. The lamp will go out once
the required ironing temperature is reached.
The iron is now ready to use.
General Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning the iron, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and has
cooled down completely.
If necessary, the unit may be wiped with a
dry lint-free cloth.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the iron with water and do not
immerse it in water.
In order to protect the clean soleplate, you
may occasionally apply a small amount of
paraffin to the warm plate, wiping it off with
a woollen cloth.
Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
Do not place the soleplate on any rough
surfaces.
Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage;
this should only be done through
public collection points.
