- If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) 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.

- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

such as those made of synthetic fibres.

C5When the amber temperature pilot light has gone out, wait a

while before you start ironing.

The amber pilot light will go on from time to time during ironing.

setting you select is suitable for the ironing temperature

selected:

- 1 - 3 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2to 3)

- 4 - 6 for maximum steam (temperature settings 3to MAX)

See 'Setting the temperature'.

BThe iron will start producing steam as soon as the set temperature has

been reached.

Ironing without steam

C1Set the steam control to position O (= no steam).

Drip stop

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically

stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent

water from dripping out of the soleplate.When this happens you may

hear a sound.

Vertical shot of steam

C1The shot-of-steam function can also be used when you hold

the iron in vertical position.

Never direct the steam at people.

soleplate has dropped below the set ironing temperature, the amber

temperature pilot light goes on.

- If the amber pilot light goes on after you have moved the iron, wait

your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out from the

soleplate during ironing), the calc-clean function should be used

more frequently.

tank has been used up.

Repeat the calc-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

soleplate to dry.
