The cycle time can be adjusted between 10 and 90 min.
For wet clothes, please make sure that the clothes have been wrung out first.
It is not necessary to use straighteners in drying mode.
HOW DO I POSITION MY CLOTHES?
Using straighteners will help you achieve better steaming results.
However, for garments that easily lose their shape (e.g. chunky knit jumpers,
viscose, thin t-shirts etc.) use the STEAM cycle without straighteners.
Depending on the results, you may need to reposition the weights on the
clothes, or add or remove weights.
SHIRTS
Place up to two shirts on a hanger and hang on the rail.
If you want to steam a shirt, button it up to the top.
To steam, place a large straightener on the back of the shirt, a small
straightener on each sleeve and two small straighteners on the front of the
shirt.
Depending on the results, you may need to reposition the weights on the
clothes, or add or remove weights.
TROUSERS
Use the built-in clasps to hang your trousers in Care For You.
