Fabric	protection	
10
soleplate	cover
(Model	dependent)
The	fabric-protection	is	used	for	steam-ironing	
delicate	garments	at	maximum	temperature	
without	damaging	them.	
Use	of	the	protector	also	does	away	with	the	
need	for	a	cloth	to	prevent	shine	on	dark	
materials.
It	is	advisable	to	first	iron	a	small	section	on	the	
inside	of	the	garment	to	see	if	it	is	suitable.
To	attach	the	fabric	protector	to	the	iron,	place	
the	tip	of	the	iron	into	the	end	of	the	fabric	
protector	and	press	the	rear	of	the	protector	
upward	until	you	hear	a	click.	To	release	the	
fabric	protector,	pull	down	on	the	clip	at	the	rear	
and	remove	the	iron.	
The	fabric-protection	soleplate	cover	may	be	
purchased	from	the	customer	service	or	specialist	
shops:

Cleaning
lf	the	iron	is	only	slightly	soiled,	pull	out	the	plug	
and	allow	the	soleplate	to	cool	down.	Wipe	the	
housing	and	the	soleplate	with	a	damp	cloth	only.
lf	synthetic	cloth	melts	due	to	too	high	
temperature	on	the	soleplate,	switch	off	the	
steam	and	rub	off	the	residue	immediately	with	a	
thickly	folded,	dry	cotton	cloth.
To	keep	the	soleplate	smooth,	you	should	avoid	
hard	contact	with	metal	objects.	Never	use	a	
scouring	pad,	or	chemicals	to	clean	the	soleplate.
Never	decalcify	the	tank	or	treat	it	with	detergents	
or	solvents:	otherwise	the	iron	will	drip	water	
whilst	steaming!

Tips	to	help	you		
save	energy
Steam	production	consumes	the	most	energy.	To	
help	minimise	the	energy	used,	follow	the	advice	
below:
•	 Start	by	ironing	the	fabrics	that	require	
the	lowest	ironing	temperature.	Check	the	
recommended	ironing	temperature	in	the	label	
on	the	garment.
•	 Regulate	the	steam	according	to	the	selected	
ironing	temperature,	following	the	instructions	
in	this	manual.
•	 Only	use	steam	if	necessary.	If	possible,	use	
the	spray	function	instead.
•	 Try	to	Iron	the	fabrics	while	they	are	still	damp	
and	reduce	the	steam	setting.	Steam	will	be	
generated	from	the	fabrics	rather	than	the	iron.	
If	you	tumble	dry	your	fabrics	before	ironing	
them,	set	the	tumble	drier	on	the	'iron	dry'	
programme.
•	 If	the	fabrics	are	damp	enough,	turn	off	the	
steam	regulator	completely.
•	 Stand	the	iron	upright	during	pauses.	Resting	
it	horizontally	with	the	steam	regulator	on	
generates	wasted	steam.
Tips	on	disposing		
of	a	used	appliance
Before	throwing	a	used	appliance	away,	you	
should	first	make	it	noticeably	inoperable	and	be	
certain	to	dispose	of	it	in	accordance	with	current	
national	laws.	Your	Retailer,	Town	Hall	or	Local	
Council	can	give	you	detailed	information	about	
this.
This	appliance	is	labelled	in	
accordance	with	European	Directive	
2012/19/EU	–concerning	used	
electrical	and	electronic	appliances	
(waste	electrical	and	electronic	
equipment	–	WEEE).	
The	guideline	determines	the	framework	for	
the	return	and	recycling	of	used	appliances	
as	applicable	throughout	the	EU.
