Note:
While the first switching on the heating
element burns, therefore occurrence of
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 tap
water with distilled water in proportion
1:1, if water is too hard, mix tap water
with distilled water in proportion 1:2 or
use distilled water only.
Note:
Do not fill the water tank with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK (pic. 1, 2)
•
Before filling the tank with water make
sure that the unit is unplugged.
•
Set the continuous steam supply knob
(3) to the leftmost position - continuous
steam supply is off.
•
Open the water inlet lid (2).
•
Fill the tank with water.
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, unplug the iron,
turn it over and drain the remaining
water (pic. 8).
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operating test the heated iron on the
piece of cloth to be sure that iron soleplate
and the water tank are clean.
•
Always check the recommended iron
temperature indicated on the tag before
ironing.
•
If the tag does not list the recommend-
ed ironing temperature, but you know
the type of fabric, refer to the following
table to determine the proper tempera-
ture.

temperature
Fabric type/temperature
• Synthetics, nylon, acryl, poly-
ester (low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton/linen (high temperature)
•
This table is only valid for fibrous mate-
rials. Fabrics of other types (crimped,
raised etc.) are best ironed at low tem-
perature.
•
Sort items by ironing temperature first:
wool with wool, cotton with cotton etc.
•
The iron heats up faster than it cools
down. For this reason it is recommend-
ed to begin ironing at low temperature
(for instance, synthetic fabrics). After
that, start ironing at higher tempera-
tures. Cotton and linen items should be
ironed last.
•
If an item is made of mixed fabrics, the
iron should be set to the lowest tem-
perature (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 place that is hidden while wear-
ing and select the ironing temperature
experimentally (always start with the
lowest temperature and raise it gradu-
ally until you get the desired result).
•
Corduroy and other fabrics that become
glossy quickly should be ironed strictly
in one direction (in direction of the pile)
slightly pressing.
•
To avoid appearance of glossy spots
on synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them
backside.
Setting the ironing temperature
•
Place the iron on its base (9).
•
Insert the plug into the socket.
•
Using the temperature control knob (4)
set the required ironing temperature:
«
• », « •• » or « ••• » (depending on the
type of fabric). Once the required tem-
