ENGLISH
Note:
• Do not exceed the « max » mark (12).
• If you need to refill water during ironing,
always switch the iron off 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 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
temperature 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.
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 materi-
als. 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 tempera-
ture 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
temperature 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
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.
• Turn the knob (11) to set the required iron-
ing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• », « MAX »
(depending on the type of fabric), the indica-
tor (7) will light up.
• Once the temperature of the soleplate (13)
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 tempera-
ture, 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 knob (11) to set the required iron-
ing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• », « MAX »
(depending on the type of fabric), the indi-
cator (7) will light up.
• Once the temperature of the soleplate (13)
reaches the set point, the pilot lamp (7) will
go out and you can start ironing.
