THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY, ITS COMMERCIAL USAGE AND USAGE IN

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage under
cold (winter) conditions, it is necessary to
keep it for at least three hours at room tem-
perature.
•
Unpack the iron, remove the protection from
the iron soleplate (14), if any.
• Check the unit for damages, do not use the
iron in case of damages.
•
Before switching the iron on, make sure that
your home mains voltage corresponds to the
iron operating voltage.
• 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 occurrence
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.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the iron with water, make sure that
it is unplugged.
•
Set the temperature control knob (11) to the
«
MIN » position, and the continuous steam
supply knob (3) – to the position « ».
•
Open the water inlet lid (2).
•
Pour water into the water tank (10) using the
beaker (15) and then close the lid (2).
Notes:
–
Do not exceed the “max” mark (13) .
–
If you need to refill water during ironing,
switch the iron off and unplug it
.
–
After you finish ironing, switch the unit off,
wait until it cools down completely, then open
the water inlet lid (2), turn over the iron 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 (14) 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 recommended ironing
temperature, but you know the type of fabric,
refer to the following table to determine the
proper temperature.
FABRIC TYPE ICONS (TEMPERATURE)
Do not iron
•
Synthetics, nylon, acrylic, 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: syn-
thetics 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 at low temperature (for instance,
synthetic fabrics). After that, start ironing at
higher temperature (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 ironing temper-
ature (for instance, if an item is made of
polyester and 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
temperature and raise it gradually until you get
the desired result).
