To clean, when cold, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. The iron must never be treated with descaling products. · After use, always wait for the iron to cool down before putting away. When the iron is hot, take care not to touch the tank. · After ironing, the water remaining in the tank need not be drained. However, the appliance should be drained of water if left unused for long periods. · Separate clothes according to the recommended ironing temperature and begin ironing with items requiring the lowest temperatures. · Silk may be dry-pressed on the reverse. · Wool, cotton and fine linen can either be steamironed on the reverse or on the right side, inter· posing a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid "shine". Starched fabrics require greater moisture. Iron whites and light colours on the right side and dark colours on the reverse. Embroidery should also be ironed on the reverse to make it stand out. Linen can be steam-ironed with abundant steam. Iron dark colours on the reverse to avoid "shine". [. . . ] NB: If your iron has both the button (2) and trigger (2A), you can choose to use either the top button or the bottom trigger as you prefer. In certain models with professional iron, a slide (1) allows a continuous output of steam to be obtained by keeping the steam button pressed down mechanically, avoiding the need to do so manually. To use, simply press the button (2) and slide the lock backwards. To release the button, slide the lock forwards. Lift the fill door (12) using the special tab. [. . . ]
