General information about ironing
Always check first whether a label with
ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
- The meaning of the ironing symbols is as
follows:
•
Synthetics
(low temperature)
••
Silk and wool
(medium temperature)
•••
Cotton and linen
(high temperature)
- These markings can also be found on the
temperature control knob of the iron in
the form of dot symbols.
●
Laundry to be ironed should be sorted
according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
●
When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabric, you
may carefully test-iron on a non-visible
point, e.g. inside a seam. Always start
with the lowest temperature.
●
If the laundry is put into a dryer before
ironing, the temperature should be
adjusted to 'iron dry'. Very dry fabrics
are difficult to iron.
Start up
Before it is used for the first time, the iron
should be cleaned according to the
instructions given in the paragraph General
Care and Cleaning. This will result in the
removal of possible dust particles from the
soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell
typically encountered when first switching
on.
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Filling with water

Caution: before opening the water
reservoir cap, always wait until the
appliance has sufficiently cooled down, as
the reservoir is under pressure.

resistant to hard water (up to 15º dH).
Although normal tap water may be used,
it is advisable to use distilled,
demineralised or decalcified water.
Should you be unsure about the hardness
of the water in your area, please enquire
at the relevant local authority
department.
- Before the steam function can be used,
the water reservoir must be filled with
water as follows:
