ENGLISH
•
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• place• that• is• inconspicuous• while• wearing•
and• select• the• ironing• temperature• experi-
mentally•(always•start•with•the•lowest•temper-
ature• 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• temperature• control• knob• (11)• to•
set• the• required• ironing• temperature:• «
• »,•
« •• »,• « ••• »• or• «MAX» • (depending• on• the•
fabric•type) , •the•pilot•lamp•(9)•will•light•up.
• Once• the• temperature• of• the• soleplate• (13)•
reaches•the•set•point,•the•pilot•lamp•(9)•will•go•
out•and•you•can•start•ironing.
Notes
•
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 (9) 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 corre-
sponding symbols on the temperature con-
trol knob (11).
WATER SPRAY
•
You• can• dampen• the• fabric• by• pressing• the•
water•spray•button•(4)•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•utmost•right•position•–•continuous•steam•
supply•is•off.
•
Turn•the•temperature•control•knob•(11)•to•set•the•
required•ironing•temperature:•«
• »,•« •• »,•« ••• »•
or• «MAX» •(depending•on•the•fabric•type) , •the•
pilot•lamp•(9)•will•light•up.
• When•the•soleplate•(13)•reaches•the•set•tem-
perature,•the•pilot•lamp•(9)•will•go•out,•you•can•
start•ironing.
• After• you• finish• ironing,• set• the• temperature•
control•knob•(11)•to•the•«OFF»•position.
• Pull• the• power• plug• out• of• the• mains• socket•
and•let•the•iron•cool•down•completely.
STEAM IRONING
While• steam• ironing• it• is• necessary• to• set• the•
ironing• temperature• «
••• »• or «MAX», the•
steam• ironing• sector• is• marked• with• corre-
sponding•symbols•on•the•temperature•control•
knob•(11).•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•heat-
ing•and•cooling•of•the•iron•soleplate•(13),•you•
will• hear• characteristic• clicks• of• the• anti-drip•
valve•opening/closing,•which•indicates•its•nor-
mal•operation.
• Place•the•iron•on•its•base•(8).
•
Set• the• continuous• steam• supply• knob• (3)• to•
the• utmost• right• position• –• continuous• steam•
supply•is•off.
•
Insert•the•power•plug•into•the•mains•socket.
• Make• sure• that• there• is• enough• water• in• the•
water•tank•(10).
•
Turn•the•temperature•control•knob•(11)•to•set•
the• required• ironing• temperature:
« ••• »• or•
«MAX» ,•the•pilot•lamp•(9)•will•light•up.
•
When•the•soleplate•(13)•reaches•the•set•tem-
perature•and•the•pilot•lamp•(9)•goes•out,•you•
can•start•ironing.
• Turn•the•continuous•steam•supply•knob•(3)•to•
set•the•steam•generation•rate,•steam•will•start•
going•out•from•the•soleplate•(13)•openings.
• Set•the•temperature•control•knob•(11)•to•the•
position• «OFF»,• and• the• continuous• steam•
supply•knob•(3)•to•the•utmost•right•position•-•
continuous•steam•supply•is•off.
•
Pull• the• power• plug• out• of• the• mains• socket•
and•let•the•iron•cool•down•completely.
ATTENTION!
If• the• steam• is• not• constantly• supplied• during•
operation,•check•whether•the•temperature•con-
trol•knob•(11)•is•set•properly•and•there•is•water•in•
the•water•tank•(10).
