Care and Cleaning

After each use

0 Turn the power off and remove the

plug from the power outlet.

0 Allow the steam iron to cool before

winding the cord around the built-

in cord wrap (Fig. 1/J).

Storage

0 Always store the steam iron on its

heel rest (see Fig. 5).

the soleplate facing down, or in the

carton.

Cleaning

0 To clean the exterior of the steam

iron, wipe with a damp soft cloth

and wipe dry.

ical cleaners or solvents, as these

will damage the surface.

Cleaning the removable

steam valve

To remove the steam valve, turn the

steam selector anticlockwise to the

indented Clean setting (•, Fig. 1/E3)

so that the steam valve pops up

(see Fig. 6).

stened in warm water.

0 Rinse and dry with a clean cloth.

0 Replace the steam valve and turn

Cleaning the steam holes

steam holes that may affect your

iron’s steam performance, use a

cotton wool tip moistened in

methylated spirits.

Cleaning the soleplate

0 Wipe the soleplate with a soft

damp cloth and wipe dry.

0 To remove burnt residue from the

soleplate, iron over a damp cloth

while the steam iron is hot.

Ironing Guide

Selecting the ironing

temperature

Always read garment labels and fol-

low the manufacturer’s ironing

instructions. Refer to the Ironing

Chart on page 29 for temperature

recommendations.

Hints

• Sort articles to be ironed according

to the type of fabric. This will

reduce the need to adjust the tem-

perature to suit varying garments.

• Start with garments requiring lower

temperatures and work your way

through to items requiring higher

temperatures.

• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen

and silk are best ironed with an

ironing cloth to prevent shine

marks.

• If you are unsure of the fabric con-

tent of a garment, test a small area

such as a seam or inside hem sec-

tion before ironing a visible area.

Start with a low temperature and

gradually increase the heat to find

the best setting for ironing the gar-

ment.

• When reducing the temperature to

iron sensitive fabrics, allow

approximately 2 minutes for the

steam iron to cool to the new set-

ting.

• Pure woollen fabrics (100 % wool)

can be steam ironed with the tem-

perature dial set to Wool. Use an

ironing cloth to prevent shine

marks on the fabric.

• Never iron areas of a garment

where perspiration marks are visi-

ble, as the heat of the steam iron

will fix the stains, making them

permanent.
