experience or knowledge. Such persons may
use this unit only if they are under supervision
of a person who is responsible for their safety
and if they are given all the necessary and
understandable instructions concerning the
safe usage of the unit and information about
danger that can be caused by its improper
usage.
•
There may be water residue in the tank, this is
normal, as the iron has undergone factory qual-
ity control.
THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE
ONLY
BEFORE THE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage under cold
(winter) conditions, it is necessary to keep it for
at least two hours at room temperature before
switching on.
•
Unpack the iron; remove the protection from the
iron soleplate (13), if any.
•
Check the unit for damages; do not use the iron
in case of damages.
•
Before switching the unit on, make sure that
your home mains voltage corresponds to the
iron operating voltage.
•
Avoid contact of the iron soleplate with sharp
objects.
•
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 occur-
rence 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 pro-
portion 1:1, if tap water is too hard, mix it with dis-
tilled water in proportion 1:2 or use distilled water
only.
Note
Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the iron with water make sure that it is
unplugged.
•
Set the temperature control knob (11) to the
«
OFF
» position and the continuous steam sup-
ply knob (3) to the leftmost position – steam
supply is off.
•
Open the water inlet lid (2).
•
Pour water into the water tank (10) using the
beaker (15) and then close the lid (2) tight.
Notes
•
Do not exceed the “MAX” mark.
•
If you need to refill water during ironing,
switch the iron off and unplug it.
•
After you finish ironing, switch the iron off,
wait until it cools down completely, then
open the water inlet lid (2), turn the iron over
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 (13) 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 recommendations for ironing,
but you know the type of fabric, use the following
table to determine the proper temperature.
Signs Fabric type (temperature)
do not iron
•
synthetics, nylon, acryl, 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: 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 begin ironing
at low temperature (for instance, synthetic fab-
rics). After that, start ironing at higher tempera-
tures (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.
