STEAM IRONING
Steam ironing is possible only if the temperature
control knob (10) is set to the position «••»,
«•••» or «
MAX ».
The iron is provided with an anti-drip valve that
stops water supply if the soleplate temperature
is too low; it prevents dripping from the 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).

Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (9).

Turn the control knob (10) to set the required
ironing temperature: «••», «•••» or «

When the soleplate (13) reaches the set
temperature, the pilot lamp (7) will go out,
you can start ironing.

Set the necessary steam intensity with the
continuous steam supply knob (3).
•
In the continuous steam supply mode,
steam will be released from the openings of
the soleplate (13) only if the iron is in hori-
zontal position. To stop the steam supply,
put the iron vertically or set the knob (3) to
the position «

control knob (10) and the steam supply knob
(3) are set properly and whether there is water
in the water tank (9).
BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful when
ironing of folds and can only be used at high
ironing temperatures (when the temperature
control knob (10) is set to «
MAX » position).
When the burst of steam button (4) is pressed,
steam will go out of the soleplate intensively.
Note: To avoid water leakage from the steam
openings, press the burst of steam button (4)
with 4-5 sec. intervals.
VERTICAL STEAM
The vertical steam function can be used
only at high ironing temperatures (when the
temperature control knob (10) is set to the
«
MAX » position).
Wait till the iron soleplate heats up, hold the
iron vertically at the distance of 10 to 30 cm
from the clothes and press the burst of steam
button (4) with intervals of 4-5 seconds, steam
will be released from the soleplate openings
intensively. To avoid dripping, do not perform
vertical steam when the soleplate is heating up
(when the pilot lamp (7) is on).
Important information
•
Vertical steam is not recommended for syn-
thetic fabrics.
•
To avoid fabric melting, do not touch it with
the iron soleplate while steaming.
•
Never steam clothes on a person, as the
steam temperature is very high, use a
clothes hanger or a stand.
