✔ Velvet, wollen fabrics, etc. as well as gloves, bags and so on will recover their original look and softness. Just
pass the iron at a short distance with the steam on.
✔ Carpets will become like new again by removing the mark left by furniture placed on them; make the steam
penetrate into the carpet where the nap has been pressed and brush it softly.
✔ Neither use or lean the iron on zips, hooks, rings, etc. to avoid scratching the plate.
✔ The surface of the plate must be kept clean: to clean it, just wipe the cold surface with a damp cloth. The iron
mustn’t be treated with decalcifying detergents.
✔ After using it, always wait till the iron is cold before putting it away.
✔ Put the iron in a dry place.
✔ When you have finished ironing it is not necessary to empty the water left in the boiler.
✔ Subdivide clothes according to the fabric and begin to iron the ones that require the lowest temperature.
✔ Silk textiles can be dry-pressed on the reverse.
✔ Wollen, cotton and fine linen can be steam-ironed on the reverse or on the right side by putting a thin cloth to
avoid the “shiny” effect. Stached textiles need more steam. Iron whites and light colours on the right side; iron
dark colours on the reverse as well as embroidery to make it stand out.
✔ Linen textiles can be steam-ironed by abundantly vaporising the material and by ironing dark colours on the
reverse to avoid the “shiny” effect. Iron the reverse of your clothes on the right side to make them stand out.
✔ Each time you start operating the steam generator (and the first time you use it) or if you haven’t used steam for
some minutes: press the steam control button several times and away from the ironing board. This will remove
the cold water from the steam circuit.
