pletely.

STEAM IRONING

Steam ironing is possible only if the temperature
control knob (11) is set to the position «

•••

» or

».

–

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 (10).

–

Set the control knob (11) to the required iron-
ing temperature, the indicator (9) will light up.

–

When the soleplate temperature (14) reaches
the set one, the indicator (9) 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 sole-
plate (14) only if the iron is in horizontal posi-
tion. To stop the steam supply, put the iron
vertically or set the knob (3) to the position
«

» (steam supply is off).

–

The  iron  is  provided  with  anti-drip  valve  that
stops  water  supply,  if  the  soleplate  temper-
ature  is  too  low,  it  prevents  dripping  from
the  soleplate  openings  (14).  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.

trol knob (11) counterclockwise until bump-
ing, and set the continuous steam supply
