Water selection
To fill in the water tank, use normal tap water.
If the water is hard, mix it with distilled water in pro-
portion 1:1, if the water is too hard, mix it with dis-
tilled water in proportion 1:2 to reduce scaling.
Filling the water reservoir with water
Make sure that the iron is disconnected from
electrical power before filling it with water.
•
Set the temperature control (10) to the “MIN”
position, and the constant steam supply con-
trol (3) to the “ ” position (Fig. 1).
•
Open the water tank lid (2).
•
Using the measuring cup (15) fill the water
tank (12) with water, then firmly close the lid
(2) (Fig. 2).
Notes:
- Do not fill the device with water above the
“MAX” mark (13).
- Never fill the water tank (12) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling re-
agents, chemical agents etc.
- If you need to refill water during ironing, turn
off the iron and unplug the power cord from
the socket.
- After you finish ironing, switch off the device,
wait until it cools down completely, then open
the water tank lid (2) and drain the remaining
water.
Ironing temperature
Before operating, test the heated iron on the old
cloth to be sure that the iron sole (14) and the wa-
ter tank (12) are clean.
•
Always check the recommended iron tem-
perature indicated on the tag before ironing.
•
If the tag does not list the recommended
ironing temperature, but you know the type
of fabric, use the following table to determine
the proper temperature.
Signs
Fabric type (temperature)
•
Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
••
Silk, wool (medium temperature)
•••
Cotton, linen (high temperature)
MAX
Maximum temperature
•
This table is only for smooth materials. Fab-
rics of other types (crimped, raised etc.) are
best ironed at low temperature.
•
Firstly sort items by ironing temperature: syn-
thetics with synthetics, wool with wool, cotton
with cotton, etc.
•
The iron heats up faster than is cools down.
For this reason it is recommended to begin
ironing at low temperature (for instance syn-
thetic fabrics).
•
After that, move to higher temperature ironing
(silk, wool). Cotton and linen should be ironed
last.
•
If an item is made from a mix of fabrics, then the
iron should be set for the fabric with the low-
est ironing (for instance if an item is made from
elastane and cotton, it should be ironed at the
temperature used for ironing elastane “•”).
•
If you cannot define the fabric the item is
made from, find a place on it that is hidden
while wearing and, on practice select the iron-
ing temperature (always start at the lowest
and gradually raise it until you get the desired
result.)
•
Corduroy and other fabrics that start getting
glossy quickly should be ironed strictly in one
direction (along the lines) with slight pressure.
•
To avoid appearance of glossy spots on syn-
thetic and silk fabrics, iron them back-side.
Setting the ironing temperature
•
Place the iron vertically.
•
Insert the plug into the socket.
•
Turn the temperature control (10) to set the
required ironing temperature: “•”, “••”,
“•••” or «MAX», depending on the type of
fabric, the (7) indicator will light up (Fig. 3).
•
When the sole temperature (14) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (7) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
Dry ironing
•
Place the iron on the base (11).
•
Set the constant steam supply control (3) to
the « » (off) position.
•
Insert the plug into the socket.
•
Turn the temperature control (10) to set the
required ironing temperature: “•”, “••”, “•••”
or «MAX», (depending on the type of fabric),
the (7) indicator will light up.
