using your steam generator We recommend that you: • Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g. synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and steam—such as cotton and linen. • If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres set the temperature of your iron to the most delicate fibre. • When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the soleplate cleaned more frequently.
using your steam generator Steam ironing During steam ironing, if you do not allow your steam generator to reach the selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate.
