BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all paper, cartons, and foil protecting the appliance and its parts.
The iron may emit a delicate smoke and smell the first time it is used. It is recommended that the iron
be warmed up before ironing and that it be used on an old piece of fabric a few times.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power source. Set the steam intensity to "no steam".
Unscrew the filler cap of the water tank. Pour a measured amount of water using the measuring cup.
Do not exceed the indicated capacity of the tank.
Tighten filler cap.
IRONING
After filling the water tank, connect the steam station to the power source. Turn the iron switch (7) and
steam generator (8). Set the desired iron temperature according to the recommendations. Set the
desired steam intensity with the knob.
When the steam readiness control light lights up, ironing can begin. Press the steam button to release
steam from the iron. In order to use steam in a permanent mode move the button to lock it.
When there is no water in the tank, the lack of water indicator lights up.
After ironing, set the steam intensity to 0 and the temperature knob to the minimum position.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
Set ironing temperature using the temperature control knob, adjusting it to the fabric being ironed.
First iron fabrics that require the lowest temperature.
low temperature - synthetic fabrics, silk
medium temperature – wool
high Temperature - cotton
MAX the highest temperature - linen
If you wish to decrease the temperature, wait until the pilot light turns on before continuing to iron.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never immerse the iron in water. Make sure that the iron cools down. Wipe the body of the iron with a
slightly damp cloth, then wipe until it is dry. The soleplate should be wiped with a soft cloth.
It is recommended that the water tank be rinsed from time to time. Pour some water into the tank, rinse
the water tank, then pour the water out of the tank.
