Product Usage Instruction

General Instructions
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using
it for the first time.

Suggestions Before Using the Iron for the First Time

1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased; therefore, the iron could give off a little smoke when plugged in for the first time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic protector from the base (if it has one) clean the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.).
4. Pure wool fibers (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position. By preference, select a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.

Selecting the Temperature

1. Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.
2. If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question, use the chart below.
3. Fabrics that have some kind of finish (polishing, wrinkles, contrasts…) can be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
4. If the fabric contains several kinds of fibers, always select the applicable temperature, if a position for nylon and acetate position for wool, silk or mixtures position for cotton or linen (steam)
