Suggestions before using the iron for the first time
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased therefore the iron could give off a little smoke when plugged in for
the first time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic protector from the base (if it has one) clean the base with a
soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.)
4. Pure wool fibres (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.
Selecting the temperature
1. Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.
2. If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question, use the chart below.
3. Fabrics that have some kind of finish (polishing, wrinkles, contrasts...) can be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
4. If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres, always select the temperature applicable, if an article contains 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, you must always choose the temperature corresponding to polyester and without steam.
5. First classify the articles to be ironed according to the most suitable ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc. as the iron heats up as fast as it cools, start by ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as
those made of synthetic fibres. Progress towards those that require the highest temperatures.
6. Turn the temperature control until it is in front of the appropriate signal according to the following:
· position for nylon and acetate
· · position for wool, silk or mixures
· · · position for cotton or linen (steam).
