The iron is provided with an anti-drip valve that
stops the water supply if the soleplate temperature
is too low, it prevents dripping from the openings
of the soleplate (13). During heating and cooling of
the iron soleplate, you will hear distinctive clicks of
the anti-drip valve opening/closing, that indicates
its normal operation.
•
Place the iron on its base (9).
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (11).
•
Turn the control knob (10) to set the required
ironing temperature: «••», «•••» or «max»,
the pilot lamp (8) will light up.
•
Once the soleplate (13) reaches the set tem-
perature value, the pilot lamp (8) will go out, you
can start ironing.
•
Set the necessary steam intensity using the
continuous steam supply knob (3).
•
In the continuous steam supply mode, steam
will be released from the openings of the sole-
plate (13) only if the iron is in horizontal position.
To stop the steam supply, put the iron vertically
or set the knob (3) to the position « » (steam
supply is off).
•
After you finish ironing, set the temperature
control knob (10) to the «off» position, and the
continuous steam supply knob (3) to the posi-
tion « » (steam supply is off).
•
Pull the power plug out of the mains socket and
let the iron cool down completely.
ATTENTION!
If steam is not supplied constantly during the
operation, check whether the steam supply knob
(3) is set properly and whether there is water in the
water tank (11).
Water spray
•
You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
spray button (4) several times.
•
Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (11).
BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful for ironing
folds and can only be used at high ironing tempera-
tures (when the temperature control knob (10) is set
to «max» position).
When the burst of steam button (5) is pressed,
steam will go out of the soleplate (13) openings
intensively.
Notes: To avoid water leakage from the steam
openings, press the burst of steam button (5) with
4-5 sec. intervals.
To avoid dripping, do not hold the burst of steam
button (5) longer than 5 seconds.
VERTICAL STEAM
The vertical steam function can be used only at high
ironing temperatures (that is, when the temperature
control knob (10) is set to “max”).
Hold the iron vertically at the distance of 10-30
cm from the clothes and press the burst of steam
button (5) with 4–5 second intervals, steam will be
released from the soleplate (13) intensively.
Important information
Vertical steam is not recommended for synthetic
fabrics.
•
To avoid fabric melting, do not touch it with the
iron’s soleplate while steaming.
•
Never steam clothes on a person as the steam
temperature is very high, use a clothes hanger
or a stand.
•
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.
STEAM CHAMBER CLEANING
To prolong service life of the iron, we recommend
cleaning the steam chamber regularly, especially in
the regions with hard tap water.
•
Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the
position « » (steam supply is off).
•
Fill the unit with water up to the maximal water
level mark (12), using the beaker (14), then
close the lid (2) tightly.
•
Place the iron on its base (9).
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Set the control knob (10) to the maximum sole-
plate temperature «max», the pilot lamp (8) will
light up.
•
When the temperature of the soleplate (13)
reaches the set value and the pilot lamp (8)
goes out, you can start cleaning the steam
chamber.
•
Unplug the unit.
•
Place the iron horizontally above the sink, set
the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the
position «
