Ironing temperatures
– Sort laundry and iron according to the instructions for treatment (e.g. manufacturer’s
recommendation - the label on clothes ). If the instruction is missing and you know the material of
the clothes, follow the table on picture 3. The table applies to basic materials only, not to possible
decorations, material treatment, etc.
– Start to iron from the lowest temperatures to higher temperatures. If clothes consist of e.g. two and
more materials or if they contain stringing, purls, embossing, stretch material , etc., always iron
according to the material requiring the lower temperature only. If you do not know the material, find the
suitable place that is not visible when wearing and try suitable temperature for ironing at the place.
– When ironing woollen fabrics, we recommend ironing on the back side of the fabric and you can iron
virgin wool through additional cloth. Velvet and similar fabrics can be ironed in one direction (
you will
prevent creation of glossy areas ).
– Steam ironing is not suitable for fabrics from synthetic and silk fibers (e.g. acrylon, nylon, polyamide
or polyester ).
– We recommend using soft textile permeable base materials for steam ironing.
– Make sure that the ironed fabric is tensed up properly so that steam does not leak to the sides.
– For the ironing plate to remain smooth, protect it from direct contact with sharp metal objects (e.g. zip
fasteners, buttons, snap buttons, decorative objects
).
Ironing without steaming
Plug the power cord M to electric socket. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7). Turn the steaming
regulator D to the 0 position, steaming off (fig. 5) or pour out water from the container I . Set the program
on the display using regulation wheel H according to the selected fabric material (Fig. 2). Reaching the
required temperature is shown by turning the indicator lamp G OFF.
WARNING
– During ironing the thermostat will cycle, which is accompanied by characteristic sound (clicking). This
is normal situation and does not form the reason for warranty claim related to the appliance.
Recommendation
Control
H
(Fig. 2) is marked with international symbols that recommend the optimum ironing
temperature and they are the same as marking on some types of laundry and textiles (Fig. 3). When
the temperature is increased from the cold state or if the temperature is set from higher to lower, we
recommend waiting for a while (see the information on the display and listen for sound signalling) due to
stabilization of the ironing plate temperature.
Steam ironing
Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator D to the position 0 (Fig. 5) and slide the cover
C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to the container I (Fig. 4) with the enclosed cup O and
close the filling hole lid in the opposite direction. Keep the position of the iron for pouring in water. Put
the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming
(Fig. 2 - ). Plug the power cord M to a socket. When the control light G goes off, move the steaming
regulator D away from handle. The more you move the regulator towards MAX , the bigger amount of
outgoing steam there will be (Fig. 5). Place the iron to the rest position, automatic creation of steam will
stop (more steam may be going out for a short time).
Warning
– For all normal ironing the middle adjustment of the steam amount is recommended. Only on ironing
the linen fabric, thick cotton and similar fabrics the adjustment of the steam amount to maximum value
is recommended. Setting to high-pressure steam ironing os recommended only if the regulation wheel
H
is set to temperature setting •••.
– Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the SELF CLEAN button.
– When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit ( MAX. 250 ml ), steam can be
created even in the rest position.
