manual abstract
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing instructions. If they don’t you should follow the fabric guide on page 3, but be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the garment or similar area first. If you turn the control dial down from a hot setting to a cooler setting, wait until the iron temperature has stabilised before you continue ironing. Filling 1 Make sure that the iron is not plugged in and then set the steam control . to the ‘ ’ position before filling the iron with water. 2 Lift up the fill cap and fill with water through the filling hole › using the beaker provided. A 11/2 beakers fills the tank (230 ml). After filling replace the fill cap. In hard water areas the use of distilled or demineralised water is recommended. Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, or sugar, or defrosted water from a refridgerator. 3 Always pour out the remaining water after use. WARNING: When filling your iron with tap water always use the beaker provided. Never fill directly under the tap. Temperature control Plug in the iron and switch on.

It is always a good idea to begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools down so you’ll save time and electricity.
