will be switched off, and you will hear a sound
signal. The unit will be switched on automati-
cally once you resume ironing.
•
If the iron remains still for 8 minutes in verti-
cal position, the heating element of the iron
will be switched off, and you will hear a sound
signal. The unit will be switched on automati-
cally once you resume ironing.
WATER SELECTION
Use tap water to fill the tank. If tap water is hard,
it is recommended to mix it 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 only.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the tank with water make sure that
the unit is unplugged.
–
Set the temperature control knob (11) to the
“min” position, and the continuous steam
supply knob (3) to the position (pic. 1).
–
Open the water inlet lid (2).
–
Pour the water into the water tank (10) with the
beaker (15) (pic. 2), then close the lid (2).
Notes:
•
Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents etc.
•
Do not exceed the “max” mark (13).
•
If you need to refill water during ironing,
switch the iron off at first and unplug it.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
–
Always check the recommended ironing tem-
perature indicated on the tag before ironing.
–
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 ironing temperature.
Icons of

temperature
Fabric type
(temperature)
•
Synthetics, nylon, acrylic,
polyester (low temperature)
••
Silk/wool (medium temperature)
•••
Cotton/linen (high temperature)
max
Maximum temperature
–
This table is only valid for smooth materials.
Other types of fabrics (crimped, raised etc.)
should be ironed at low temperature.
–
Sort items by ironing temperature first: syn-
thetics with synthetics, wool with wool, cotton
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, syn-
thetic 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 ironing tem-
perature (for instance, if an item is made of
acrylic and cotton, it should be ironed at tem-
perature used for acrylic ironing “
•
”).
–
If you cannot define the fabric structure,
find a place that is hidden while wearing and
select the ironing temperature experimen-
tally (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 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 (8).
–
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
–
Turn the temperature control knob (11) to
set the required ironing temperature: «
•
»,
«
••
», «
•••
» or «max» (pic. 3), depending
on the type of fabric, the pilot lamp (9) will
light up.
–
Once the soleplate (14) reaches the set tem-
perature, the pilot lamp (9) will go out, you can
start ironing.
Note:
While the first switching on the heating
element of the iron burns, therefore occurrence
of foreign smell and a small amount of smoke is
possible, it is normal.
WATER SPRAY
–
You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
water spray button (5) several times (pic. 4).
–
Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (10).
