If there is no tag with the recommended iron-
ing temperature, but you know the type of
fabric, use the following table to determine
the proper temperature.
Icons
Fabric type (temperature)
Do not iron
•
Synthetics, nylon, acrylic, 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 tempera-
ture 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 (8).
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Turn the knob (10) to set the required iron-
ing temperature: «
•
», «
••
», «
•••
» or
«MAX»
(depending on the type of fabric), the indica-
tor (11) will light up.
•
When the iron soleplate (13) reaches the set
temperature, the indicator (11) will go out,
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. While steam ironing it
is necessary to set the ironing temperature
«
•••
» or “
MAX
” (the steam ironing sector
is marked with the symbol «
» on the tem-
perature control knob (9)).
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 (8).
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Set the continuous steam supply knob (3)
to the «o» position – continuous steam sup-
ply is off.
•
Turn the knob (9) to set the required ironing
temperature: «
•
», «
••
», «
•••
» or
«MAX»
(depending on the type of fabric), the indica-
tor (11) will light up.
•
When the iron soleplate (13) reaches the set
temperature, the indicator (11) will go out,
you can start ironing.
•
After using the iron switch the temperature
control (9) to the
«MIN»
position. Unplug
the unit and let the iron cool down com-
pletely.
STEAM IRONING
While steam ironing it is necessary to set the
ironing temperature «
•••
» or “MAX” (the steam
ironing sector is marked with the symbol «
»
on the temperature control knob (9)). The iron is
provided with an anti-drip valve that stops water
supply if the iron soleplate temperature is too
low; it prevents dripping from the iron soleplate
openings (13). During heating and cooling of the
iron soleplate, you will hear characteristic clicks
of the anti-drip valve opening/closing, which
indicates its normal operation.
•
Place the iron on its base (8).
