Care instructions

•
All materials marked with the iron sym-
bols to can be treated using
the steam brush.
•
Materials marked with the crossed-out
iron symbol must not be treated using
the steam brush.
• Do not treat leather, velvet, impregnated
furniture, or materials that are sensitive to
steam. Otherwise you could damage the
textiles/furniture.
• Caution is required in the case of materi-
als that are sensitive to heat, such as syn-
thetic materials (e.g. polyamide or
rayon). With these materials you should
test beforehand in a spot that is not visi-
ble (e.g. the inside of a seam) to deter-
mine whether the hot steam damages the
material. Do not touch these materials di-
rectly with the hot steam unit 3. You
should only use the steam jet function.
6.2

Tips on smoothing

• The best results can be obtained if you
hang the items of clothing after washing,
e.g. on a clothes hanger. The material
thus dries with fewer creases.
• To support this process, you can pull the
material smooth. However, be careful
not to steam your hand.
• Very strong folds or a smooth, ironed
appearance cannot be produced using
the steam brush. In such cases, we rec-
ommend using an iron.
• During steam smoothing, the material
absorbs moisture. Allow the materials to
dry completely before you put them
away, e.g. in a wardrobe.

tener).
