RECOMMENDATIONS
Your iron heats up quickly : so begin by ironing fa-
brics that are ironed at low temperatures first,
then go on to those requiring a higher tempera-
ture.
When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the iro-
ning temperature for the most delicate fibre
Never exceed the water tank MAX level..
Store the cold iron on its heel.
Never use abrasive or aggressive products to clean
the soleplate and the other parts of the iron.
