chemically descaled water or other chemicals in the water tank.

Setting the temperature
C
1 Put the iron on its heel and set the required ironing
temperature by turning the temperature dial to the
appropriate position.
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
-
1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 Silk
- 2 Wool
- 3 Cotton, linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not
be visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric
to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent
stains. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing
temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.
2 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
C
3 When the amber temperature light has gone out, wait a while
before you start ironing.
The amber temperature light will go on from time to time during
ironing.
