ENGLISH
•
Make sure that the voltage of the mains
corresponds to the operating voltage of
the iron.
Note:
•
While the first switching on the iron
heating element burns, therefore
occurrence of a small amount of smoke
or foreign smell is possible, it is normal.
WATER SELECTION
Use tap water to fill the tank. If tap water is
hard, it is recommended to mix tap water with
distilled water in proportion 1:1, if tap water is
too hard, mix it with distilled water in proportion
1:2 or use distilled water to prevent scaling.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the tank with water make sure
that the unit is unplugged.
•
Set the temperature control knob (10) to
the “MIN” position, and the continuous
steam supply knob (3) to the position «
»
(continuous steam supply is off).
•
Open the water inlet lid (2).
•
Fill the unit with water, using the beaker
(15), then close the water inlet lid (2) firmly.
Notes:
•
Do not exceed the “max” mark (13).
•
If you need to refill water during ironing,
switch the iron off and unplug it.
•
After you finish ironing, switch the unit off,
wait until it cools down completely, then
open 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 iron soleplate (14)
and the water tank (12) are clean.
•
Always check the recommended ironing
temperature indicated on the tag before
ironing.
•
If there is no tag with recommendations for
ironing, but you know the type of fabric, use
the following table to determine the proper
temperature.
Icons of

temperature
Fabric type
•
Synthetics, nylon, acrylic,
polyester, acetate (low
temperature) -
dry ironing only
••
Silk/wool (medium
temperature)
••• Cotton/linen (high temperature)
MAX Maximum temperature
•
This table is only valid for smooth materi-
als. Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised
etc.) are best ironed at low temperature.
•
Sort items by ironing temperature first: syn-
thetics with synthetics, wool with wool, cot-
ton with cotton etc.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down.
For this reason it is recommended to begin
ironing at low temperature (for instance,
synthetic fabrics).
•
After that, start ironing at higher tempera-
ture (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 ironing tempera-
ture (for instance, if an item is made of poly-
ester and cotton, it should be ironed at tem-
perature used for polyester ironing «•»).
•
If you cannot define the fabric structure,
find a place that is hidden while wearing
and select the ironing temperature experi-
mentally (always start with the lowest tem-
perature 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 direction of the pile) with
little pressure.
•
To avoid appearance of glossy spots on
synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them back-
side.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
•
Place the iron on its base (9).
•
Insert the power plug into the mains
socket.
