ENGLISH
•
If an item is made of mixed fabrics, the iron
should be set to the lowest ironing tem-
perature (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).
• 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
synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them back-
side.
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 position «
» (continuous steam
supply is off).
• Set the desired ironing temperature
depending on the type of fabric by turning
the knob (11): «
• », « •• », « ••• » or « MAX »,
depending on the type of fabric; the indica-
tor (6) will light up.
• Once the soleplate (10) reaches the set
temperature, the indicator (6) will go out
and you can start ironing.
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature
control knob (11) to the «
MIN » position.
• Pull the power plug out of the mains socket
and let the iron cool down completely.
STEAM IRONING
The iron is provided with an anti-drip valve
that stops water supply if the soleplate tem-
perature is too low, this prevents dripping
from the soleplate (10) openings. 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.
Steam ironing is possible only if the tempera-
ture control knob (11) is set to the «
••• » or
«
MAX
» position. The temperature control knob
(11) shows the area of steam operation.
• 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 (9).
• Set the control knob (11) to the required
ironing temperature in the steam operation
zone, the indicator (6) will light up.
• When the soleplate (10) reaches the set
temperature value, the indicator (6) 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 open-
ings of the soleplate (10) only if the
iron is in horizontal position. To stop
the steam supply, put the iron verti-
cally or set the knob (3) to the position
«
» (steam supply is off).
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature
control knob (11) to the
«MIN» , position,
and the continuous steam supply knob (3)
to the position «
» (steam supply is off).
• Pull the power plug out of the mains socket
and let the iron cool down completely.
ATTENTION!
If steam is not supplied constantly during the
operation, check whether the steam supply
knob (3) is set properly and whether there is
water in the water tank (9).
WATER SPRAY
• You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
water spray button (5) several times.
Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (9).
BURST OF STEAM
The burst of steam function is useful for ironing
folds and can only be used at high ironing tem-
peratures (when the temperature control knob
(11) is set to the
«MAX» position).
When the burst of steam button (4) is pressed,
steam will go out of the soleplate (10) open-
ings intensively.
