tion 1:2 or use distilled water only.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage at low temper-
ature keep it for at least three hours at room temper-
ature before switching on.
– Unpack the steam station and remove all packaging
elements that can prevent proper unit operation.
– Press the iron unlock button (9) and remove it from the
steam station.
– Remove the protection from the iron soleplate (1), if
there is any.
– Wipe the soleplate (1) with a soft dry cloth.
– Wipe the iron body and the steam station body with a
soft cloth.
– Make sure that the voltage of the mains corresponds to
the operating voltage of the unit.
– Place the steam station on a flat steady heat- and
water-resistant surface so that the unit is on the same
level with your ironing board. When setting the steam
station on the ironing board, make sure that the ironing
board is reliable and steady.
– There may be water residue in the tank, this is nor-
mal, as the steam station undergoes factory qual-
ity control.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Note: Before removing the water tank (13), make sure that
the unit is unplugged.
– Remove the water tank (13) taking it by the handle (12)
and pulling the water tank (13) towards you.
– Open the water inlet lid (11) and fill the water tank (13)
with water.
– Close the lid (11) and install the water tank (13) back
to its place.
Filling the water tank during operation
If during steam ironing the water tank (13) becomes empty,
then after a while (1-3 min) you will hear a sound signal,
the indicator will start flashing, and the pump will stop the
water supply. You can refill the water tank (13) without re-
moving it from the steam station body.
– Press and hold down the button (15), wait till the unit is
switched off (in this case all indicators on the control/
indication panel (7) will go out). Disconnect the unit
from the mains.
– Open the water inlet lid (11) and carefully fill the water
tank (13) with water.
Notes:
– Do not fill the water tank (13) with scented liquids, vin-
egar, starch solution, descaling reagents, chemical
agents etc.
– Do not exceed the “MAX” mark.
USING THE UNIT
– Place the unit on a flat steady heat- and water-resist-
ant surface so that it is on the same level with your
ironing board. When setting the steam station on the
ironing board, make sure that the ironing board is reli-
able and steady.
– While the first switching on the heating element burns,
therefore occurrence of a small amount of smoke or
extraneous smell is possible, it is normal.
– After switching the unit on and during the operation
you will hear characteristic sounds of a working pump.
These sounds are caused by normal operation and are
not a malfunction.
– Before using the unit, iron a piece of cloth to clean the
steam ducts of the iron soleplate (1) and the boiler.
During the first operation some particles may appear
from the iron soleplate (1) openings, it is normal and
not a malfunction.
Attention! The steam station body, the iron rest (8), the
iron soleplate (1) and the steam hose (5) heat up during
the operation, do not touch the hot surfaces of the unit,
take the iron by its handle (4) only.
– Make sure that the steam hose (5) doesn’t bend and
twist during the operation.
– When using the steam station for the first time or in
case you haven’t used the steam station for some time,
press the steam supply button (3) several times, direct-
ing the steam away from the clothes. This will remove
the condensate from the steam hose (5).
– The constant temperature of the soleplate (1) is main-
tained during the operation, the indicator (2) periodic-
ally lights up and goes out.
– Before starting steam ironing, wait till the boiler reaches
the required temperature and the soleplate (1) heats
up (the button indicator (2) glows constantly); other-
wise water will leak from the steam openings of the
soleplate (1).
IRONING TEMPERATURE
– Special technology determines the optimal tempera-
ture of the iron soleplate within the range from 135 to
165°С. The steam will go out intensively and that allows
to use the steam station for effective ironing of delicate
and thick fabrics.
– Always check the recommended ironing temperature
indicated on the tag before ironing.
