the water inlet lid (2), turn over the iron and
drain the remaining 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 tem-
perature 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
temperature, but you know the type of fab-
ric, use the following table to determine the
proper temperature.
Ironing temperature table
Icons Fabric type (temperatyre)
do not iron
• synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
•• silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• cotton/linen (high temperature)
•
This table is only valid for smooth materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised, etc.)
are best ironed at low temperature.
• First sort items by ironing temperature: syn-
thetics 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 «
• »).
• If you cannot define the fabric structure, find
a spot that is inconspicuous when the item
is being worn and select the ironing tem-
perature experimentally (always start with the
lowest temperature and raise it gradually until
you get the desired result).
• Corduroy and other fabrics that become
glossy quickly should be ironed strictly in
one direction (in the direction of the pile) with
slight pressure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on syn-
thetic and silk fabrics, iron them backside.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
• Place the iron on its base (9).
• Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Turn the control knob (11) to set the required
ironing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• », or
« MAX », depending on the type of fabric, the
indicator light (7) will turn on.
•
Once the temperature of the soleplate (14)
reaches the set point, the indicator (7) will go
out and you can start ironing.
Note:
•
If you are ironing at high temperature but you
need to switch to lower temperature, wait
until the soleplate temperature decreases
and the pilot lamp (7) lights up, and only then
you may start ironing.
WATER SPRAY
• You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
water spray button (5) several times.
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (10).
DRY IRONING
• Place the iron on its base (9).
• Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to
the position
– the steam supply is off.
•
Turn the control knob (11) to set the required
ironing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• », or
« MAX », depending on the type of fabric, the
indicator light (7) will turn on.
•
Once the temperature of the soleplate (14)
reaches the set point, the pilot lamp (7) will
go out and you can start ironing.
•
After you finish ironing, set the temperature
control knob (11) to the «
OFF » position.
• Pull the power plug out of the mains socket
and let the iron cool down completely.
STEAM IRONING
While steam ironing it is necessary to set the iron-
ing temperature «
•• », « ••• », or « MAX ».
• Place the iron on its base (9).
• Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to
the position
– the steam supply is off.
