Ironing tips

Minimising wrinkles while drying

Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your laundry properly after washing and by putting

garments on hangers to make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.

Best practice shirt ironing

Start with the time-consuming parts like collar, cu links and sleeves. Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back to prevent

wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming parts.

Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and work from the outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and

repeat. Fold down the collar and press the edge for a more crisp nish.

Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more eective and faster ironing.

Cleaning and maintenance

To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the appliance regularly.

1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of washing-up

liquid.

2 To easily and eectively remove stains from the soleplate, switch on the appliance and let it heat up. When the

appliance has heated up, move the iron over a moist cloth while you press the steam trigger (Fig. 15).

Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.

IMPORTANT - DESCALING

It is very important to perform the descaling procedure as soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to ash and the

appliance beeps continuously.

The EASY DE-CALC light ashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to

indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following descaling procedure before you continue

ironing.

To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you perform the

descaling procedure.

1 Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 16).

2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.

3 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob

anticlockwise (Fig. 17).

4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles ow into the cup (Fig. 18).

5 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn it clockwise to fasten

it. (Fig. 19)
