Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature: Symbol on laundry care label B C D Z Type of fabric Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acetate, acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester) and silk Wool Cotton, linen Please note that Z on the label means that the article cannot be ironed. Temperature setting 1 2 3 to MAX

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 is not visible when you wear or use the article. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, it must be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester ( 1) and without steam.  , , , Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and set the on/off switch to on (Fig. 7). The power-on light on the steam tank and the temperature light on the iron go on. The steam tank and the iron soleplate start to heat up. The iron is hot enough when the temperature light goes out.

Note: During ironing, the temperature light goes on from time to time.This indicates that the iron is heating up to the right temperature. Note:When you switch on the appliance, the steam tank produces a pumping sound.This sound is normal and indicates that water is being pumped into the steam tank. tips If you have ironed at a high temperature and then set the temperature dial to a lower setting, wait until the temperature light goes on again before you continue ironing. This prevents damage to your fabrics. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres. Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Iron velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches in one direction only (along with the nap) while you apply very little pressure. Do not use steam when you iron coloured silk. This could cause stains.
