Hints Before First Use

1. Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result, the iron may smoke slightly when switched on for the first time. It will not happen again after a few uses.
2. Remove protective wrappings and labels from the soleplate and clean it with a soft, damp cloth.
3. When using the iron for the first time, test it on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the soleplate and water tank are completely clean.
4. Wait for about three minutes before ironing heat sensitive fabrics. Temperature adjustment needs a certain time to reach the required level - no matter if it is higher or lower.
5. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
6. Turn the temperature control to the desired setting by aligning the setting on the dial with the temperature indicator. The indicator light will turn on to indicate that the iron is heating to the selected temperature. When the indicator light goes out, the iron is at the selected temperature and is ready for use.

Setting The Temperature

1. Always check garment label for ironing instructions before ironing garment.
2. If the ironing instructions are missing, then the table below may help you.
3. First, you should sort the laundry: Wool with wool, Cotton with cotton etc. Start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature and progress to the higher ones because the iron heats up quicker than it cools down.
4. Test ironing a small area on the backside or inside of the garment if you are unsure about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
5. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers (e.g. cotton with polyester), you must always select the ironing temperature for the material with the lowest recommended temperature.
6. Pure wool fabric (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position by preference; select a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.
7. Turn the temperature control to the desired temperature setting.
8. The desired temperature has been reached when the indicator light has turned off. The indicator light will turn on and off from time to time, indicating that the selected temperature is being maintained.
