The fabric-protection soleplate cover is used for
steam-ironing delicate garments at maximum
temperature without damaging them. Use of the
soleplate cover 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 soleplate cover to the iron, place the
tip of the iron into the end of the soleplate cover
and pull the elastic strap over the lower rear of
the iron until it fits tightly. To release the soleplate

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
on the label on the garment.
▪
regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
▪
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.
