THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY. ITS COMMERCIAL USAGE AND USAGE
IN PRODUCTION AREAS AND WORK SPACES IS
PROHIBITED.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage at low tem-
perature keep it for at least three hours at room
temperature before switching on.
• Unpack the iron; remove the protection from the
soleplate (13), if any.
•
Check the unit for damages, do not use the iron in
case of damages.
•
Before switching the iron on, make sure that your
home mains voltage corresponds to the iron oper-
ating voltage.
•
There may be water residue in the tank (10), this
is normal, as the iron has undergone factory qual-
ity control.
Note:
– While the first switching on the heating element
of the iron burns, therefore occurrence of foreign
smell and a small amount of smoke is possible, it
is normal.
Control knobs, indications and symbols
•
The continuous steam supply knob (3) has 2 fixed
positions:
–
– steam supply is off;
– – steam supply is on;
and one unfixed position:
– Self Clean – self-clean.
•
Burst of steam button (4) – press the button to
activate the additional steam supply function.
•
Water spray button (5) – press the button to acti-
vate the water spray function for dampening the
fabrics.
•
Heating element ON/OFF indicator (7) – when the
indicator lights up, the iron soleplate is heating up.
•
Temperature control knob (11) – allows to set the
iron soleplate temperature depending on the type
of fabric (see the table below). The knob is in the
position «MIN» – the iron is off.
•
«MAX» maximum water level mark (12).
WATER SELECTION
You can use tap water to fill the water tank (10). If tap
water is hard, use distilled or demineralized water, this
will prolong service life of the iron.
Note:
– Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented liq-
uids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling reagents,
chemical agents etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the iron with water, make sure that it is
unplugged.
•
Set the temperature control knob (11) to the posi-
tion «MIN», and the continuous steam supply
knob (3) to the position
– continuous steam
supply is off.
• Open the water inlet lid (2).
•
Open the water inlet lid (2) and pour water into
the water tank (10) using the beaker (14) and then
close the lid (2) tight.
Notes:
– Do not exceed the «MAX» mark (12).
– If you need to refill water during ironing, always
switch the iron off at first and unplug it.
•
After you finish ironing, switch the iron off, wait
until it cools down completely, then open the water
inlet lid (2), turn over the iron and drain the remain-
ing water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operation, test the heated iron on a piece of
cloth to be sure that the iron soleplate (13) and the
water tank (10) are clean.
•
Always check the recommended ironing tempera-
ture indicated on the tag before ironing.
• If the item label is marked with the symbol ,
do not iron the item.
•
If there is no tag with recommended ironing tem-
perature, but you know the type of fabric, use
the following table to determine the proper tem-
perature.
Ironing temperature table
Icons Fabric type (temperature)
do not iron
• Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton (high temperature)
МАХ Linen (high temperature)
•
This table is only valid for smooth materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised, etc.) are
best ironed at low temperature.
•
Sort items by ironing temperature first: synthetics
to synthetics, wool to wool, cotton to cotton etc.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. For
this reason, it is recommended to iron the items
which require low temperature first (for instance,
synthetic fabrics). After that, start ironing at higher
temperature (silk/wool). Cotton and linen items
should be ironed last.
•
If an item is made of mixed fabrics, the iron
should be set to the lowest temperature (for
instance, if an item is 60% polyester and 40%
cotton, it should be ironed at temperature used
for polyester ironing «•»).
