ENGLISH
at low temperature (for instance, synthetic fab-
rics). After that, start ironing at higher tempera-
tures (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 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 spot that is inconspicuous when the item is
being worn and select the ironing temperature
experimentally (always start with the lowest tem-
perature 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 from backside.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
•
Place the iron on its base (8).
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Turn the control knob (11) to set the required
ironing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• » or
«
MAX
», depending on the type of fabric, the
indicator (9) will light up.
• Once the soleplate (13) reaches the set temper-
ature, the indicator (9) will go out and you can
start ironing.
Notes:
• If you are ironing at high temperature and you
need to switch to lower temperature, it is rec-
ommended to wait until the soleplate tempera-
ture decreases and resume ironing only after the
indicator (9) lights up.
•
While steam ironing, set the ironing temperature
«
••• » or «MAX», the steam ironing section is
marked with corresponding symbols on the tem-
perature control knob (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 (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 leftmost position – continuous steam sup-
ply is off.
•
Turn the control knob (11) to set the required
ironing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• » or
« MAX », depending on the type of fabric, the
indicator (9) will light up.
• When the soleplate (13) reaches the set tem-
perature, the indicator (9) will go out, you can
start ironing.
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature con-
trol 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, set the ironing temperature
«MAX» or « ••• », the steam ironing section is
marked with corresponding symbols on the tem-
perature control knob (11). The iron is provided with
an anti-drip valve that stops water supply if the sole-
plate temperature is too low; this prevents dripping
from the soleplate (13) openings. During heating
and cooling of the iron soleplate (13), you will hear
characteristic clicks of the anti-drip valve opening/
closing, which indicates its normal operation.
•
Place the iron on its base (8).
•
Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to
the leftmost position - continuous steam sup-
ply is off.
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (10).
•
Turn the control knob (11) to set the required
ironing temperature:
« ••• » or « MAX »; the indi-
cator (9) will light up.
• Once the temperature of the soleplate (13)
reaches the set point, the indicator (9) will go
out and 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.
The knob (3) has two fixed positions which
allow controlling steam supply intensity. Move
the knob (3) to the right to switch the steam
supply on.
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature con-
trol knob (11) to the “OFF” position, and the con-
tinuous steam supply knob (3) to the leftmost
position – steam supply is off.
•
Pull the power plug out of the mains socket and
let the iron cool down completely.
