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, cuff 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 finish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective 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 effectively 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.
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 flash and the appliance beeps continuously.
The EASY DE-CALC light flashes 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.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
