iron soleplate (13), if any.

in case of damages.
• Before switching the unit on, make sure that
your home mains voltage corresponds to the
iron operating voltage.
•
Avoid contact of the iron soleplate with sharp
objects.
•
There may be water residue in the tank, this
is normal, as the iron has undergone factory
quality control.
Note: While the first switching on the heating
element of the iron burns, therefore occur-
rence of foreign smell and a small amount of
smoke is possible, it is normal.
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.
Note
Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the iron with water make sure that it is
unplugged.

• Do not exceed the “MAX” mark.
• If you need to refill water during ironing,
switch the iron off and unplug it.
• After you finish ironing, switch the iron off,
wait until it cools down completely, then
open the water inlet lid (2), turn the iron over
and drain the remaining water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operation test the heated iron on a piece of
cloth to be sure that the iron soleplate (13) and the
water tank (10) are clean.
•
Always check the recommended ironing tem-
perature indicated on the tag before ironing.
•
If there is no tag with recommendations for iron-
ing, but you know the type of fabric, use the
following table to determine the proper tem-
perature.
Signs Fabric type (temperature)
do not iron
•
synthetics, nylon, acryl, 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.
•
Sort items by ironing temperature first: synthetics
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 begin ironing
