Ironing temperature table
Icons Fabric type (temperature)
do not iron
• Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton (high temperature)
МАХ 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: synthet-
ics to synthetics, wool to wool, cotton to cot-
ton etc.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. For
this reason, it is recommended to iron the items
which require low temperature first (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 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 backside.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
•
Place the iron on its base (9).
• 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 (7) will light up.
•
Once the temperature of the soleplate (13)
reaches the set point, the indicator (7) will go
out and you can start ironing.
Note:
–
If you are ironing at high temperature but you
need to switch to lower temperature, wait until
the soleplate temperature decreases and the
indicator (7) lights up, and only then you may
start ironing.
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 (10).
DRY IRONING
•
Place the iron on its base (9).
• Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the
position
– the steam supply is off.
• Turn the control knob (11) to set the required
ironing temperature: «
• », « •• », « ••• » or
« MAX », depending on the type of fabric, the
indicator (7) will light up.
• Once the temperature of the soleplate (13)
reaches the set point, the indicator (7) will go
out and you can start ironing.
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature con-
trol knob (11) to the “MIN” position.
• Pull the power plug out of the mains socket and
let the iron cool down completely.
STEAM IRONING
While steam ironing it is necessary to set the ironing
temperature «
••• », « МАХ ».
• Place the iron on its base (9).
•
Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the
position
– the steam supply 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 pilot
lamp (7) will light up.
• When the soleplate (13) reaches the set tem-
perature, the indicator (7) will go out, you can
start ironing.
• Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to
the position
– steam supply is on, steam
will start going out from the soleplate (13)
openings.
•
For «double steam» supply set the switch to the
utmost right position
and hold it, steam will
start outgoing from the soleplate (13) openings
more intensively.
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature con-
trol knob (11) to the position «MIN», and the con-
