10ENGLISH
ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those
made of synthetic fibres.Then progress to the higher temperatures.
� Pure woollen fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a steam
position. It is recommended to apply shot-of-steam and use a dry
pressing cloth.
When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur.
This can be prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the
inside.
� Velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches, should
be ironed in one direction only (along with the nap) while applying
very little pressure.
� Do not use steam when you are ironing coloured silk.This could
cause stains.
Steam ironing
1Set the temperature dial to the recommended position.
See 'Setting the temperature'. Steam-ironing is only possible at higher
ironing temperatures: Set the dial to 2 or 3.
BSteaming will start as soon as the set temperature has been reached.
C2While steam-ironing, keep the steam activator (M) pressed in.
3During steam-ironing the two pilot lights (D) and (K) will go on
from time to time.When this happens either the iron or the
steam tank is being heated-up to the required temperature.You
can continue ironing.
Ironing without steam
1Set the temperature dial to the recommended position.
See 'Setting the temperature'.
2Do not press-in the steam activator button (M).
3Switch off the steam tank by setting switch 'Steam tank on/off'
d (D) to position O.
� If you press the steam button by accident when you are ironing,
some steam will escape. In case the tank is empty or not heated up
yet, a clicking sound will come from the water tank.This
phenomenon, caused by the opening of the steam valve, is
harmless.
� If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently
set the temperature control (N) to a lower setting, wait until the
temperature pilot light (K) goes on again before you continue
ironing.This will prevent damage to fabrics. |
