[. . . ] But if you live in a hard water area we recommend to use distilled water to insure optimum performance of your iron. Turn your temperature control knob to the position you desire according to the following fabric indications: Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam of a garment and these should be followed at all times. Start your ironing with the fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting. If you are unsure of the fibre content of a garment, test a small area (a seam or inside hem) before ironing. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase the heat to find the best setting for good results without damaging the fabric. As indicated on the temperature control knob, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures. With conventional steam irons, water may drip from the soleplate if an extremely low temperature has been selected. However, a new feature has been added to this iron ­ `DRIP STOP' steam shut-off. This means that the iron will automatically stop steaming at low temperatures. Ensure that the soleplate remains smooth and unscratched by ironing around on not over zippers, rivets or any other objects which may scratch the soleplate. The mineral content of water varies according to different geographical regions. If you live in a hard water area, to insure optimum performance of your iron, we strongly recommend the use of distilled water which is readily available in retail stores. wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. You may need to press this button a few times after filling the iron with water to activate the pump.

The iron can be used as a dry iron, even if there is water in the water tank. Do not put water in the water tank when the iron is to be used as a dry iron for MANY HOURS. Put the iron on the heel rest and then plug the iron into the mains. [. . . ] The integrated anti-scale system reduces the build up of lime scale and increases the user life of your iron It is important to use the calc clean button the first time you use the iron and once a month from then on. Allow the iron to heat up until the heating light goes out and then lights again. Set the steam control gear to calc clean position (0) then press and hold the calc clean button. Place the iron in the upright position, plug it and then allow it to heat up. [. . . ]
