The iron mustn't be treated with decalcifying detergents. · After using it, always wait till the iron is cold before putting it away. · When finished ironing, there is no need to drain the remaining water in the steam generator. The water should however be drained if the appliance is not used for an extended period. · Sort out clothes according to the recommended ironing temperature and begin to iron the ones that require the lowest temperature. · Silk textiles can be dry-pressed on the reverse. · Wollen, cotton and fine linen can be steam-ironed on the reverse or on the right side by putting a thin cloth to avoid "shine". Iron whites and light colours on the right side; iron dark colours on the reverse as well as embroidery to make it stand out. · Linen textiles can be steam-ironed by abundantly steaming the material and by ironing dark colours on the reverse to avoid "shine". Iron lapels on the right side to make them stand out. · Each time you start operating the steam generator (and the first time you use it) or if you haven't used steam for some minutes: press the steam control button several times and away from the ironing board. This will remove the cold water from the steam circuit. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing.
