in case of damages.
•
Before switching the iron on, make sure that
your home mains voltage corresponds to the

There may be water residue in the tank, this is
normal, as the iron has undergone factory qual-

foreign smell and a small amount of smoke is pos-
sible, it is normal.

If tap water is hard, use distilled or demineralized
water, this will prolong service life of the iron.
Note: Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented liq-
uids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling reagents,
chemical agents etc.

Icons Fabric type (temperature)
do not iron
• Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton (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
