(rayon, wool) medium temperature
(cotton, linen) high temperature
• Observe the ironing instructions on the clothes label.
• Turn woolen clothes inside out to avoid shiny spots on
the fabric due to steam ironing. In addition, lay a thin
cotton cloth onto the fabric.
• Select a low temperature setting for fabrics with addi-
tional surface treatment and iron them inside out.
NOTE:
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing
with the lowest temperature setting.
Amount of Steam
The desired steam level can be adjusted with the steam
ow controller. Choose between “ MIN ” and “ MAX ”.
Water Tank

cale shall not be covered by the free warranty.
Do not ll battery water, water from the clothes dryer and
