Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.

Woollen garments : press repeatedly on the steam control button - fig.6 to obtain short bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.

This will avoid making the fabric shiny.

•Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature and finish with those which need higher temperatures (••• or Max).

•Toprime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam control button - fig.6. several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes.This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit.

•For delicate fabrics, press the steam control button (on the handle of the iron) intermittently to avoid possible water droplets appearing with the steam.
