For this reason descaling liquids should not be used. Selecting the Temperature - Set the temperature control dial according to the fabric you are ironing. We recommend using the chart below as a guide. Ironing label Fabric Synthetic fibres e. g. viscose, polyester silk, wool cotton, linen Temperature control Light will be on as iron is heating.

Steam Ironing WARNING !· Before ironing for the first time fill iron and allow to heat. · The iron should be allowed to emit steam for 1 to 2 minutes while pressing the burst of steam button a few times to remove any impurities. Steam is only produced when the temperature dial is set to the shaded area (after ·· setting). Burst of steam - This feature is ideal for removing stubborn wrinkles or pressing in sharp creases in horizontal use. When the temperature control is set to the steam zone (after ··) the burst of steam can be used by pressing the burst of steam button. - This is especially useful for getting creases out of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc. - To steam vertically, press the burst of steam button while holding iron in the upright position.

AUTO * Depending on model Spray Setting - This feature is ideal for stubborn wrinkles or set in creases. - Do not spray silk. Anti-Drip System - In order to produce steam, all irons require a high temperature. If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will not turn to steam and can spit or leak from the soleplate. The Anti-Drip system automatically switchez off the steam when ironing at low temperatures to prevent spitting. Anti-Calc System - Minerals in water can build up in the steam chamber. The Anti-Calc system contains a special material that neutralizes the harmful minerals. This system is designed to extend and main-tain the high steam performance of the iron. This feature allows loose mineral deposits and other impuri ties to be flushed from the soleplate.
