THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE
ONLY
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage at low tem-
perature keep it for at least three hours at room
temperature.
•
Unpack• the• iron;• remove• protection• from• the•
soleplate•(14),•if•any.
• Check•the•unit•for•damages,•do•not•use•the•iron•
in•case•of•damages.
• Before• switching• the• iron• on,• make• sure• that•
your• home• mains• voltage• corresponds• to• the•
iron•operating•voltage.
•
There•may•be•water•residue•in•the•tank,•this•is•
normal,•as•the•iron•has•undergone•factory•qual-
ity•control.
Notes: When the iron is switched on for the
first time, the heating element of the iron burns,
therefore occurrence of foreign smell and a small
amount of smoke is possible, it is normal.
WATER SELECTION
You•can•use•tap•water•to•fill•the•water•tank•(10).•
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
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents, and 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•
position•«OFF»•(SWITCHED•OFF),•and•the•con-
tinuous• steam• supply• knob• (3)• to• the• lower•
position•–•steam•supply•is•off.
• Open•the•water•inlet•lid•(2).
•
Pour• water• into• the• water• tank• (10)• and• then•
close•the•lid•(2)•tightly.
Notes:
•
Do not pour water over the «MAX» mark (13).
•
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 over the iron 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•(14)•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• recommended• ironing•
temperature,•but•you•know•the•type•of•fabric,•
use•the•following•table•to•determine•the•proper•
temperature.
Icons Fabric type (temperature)
do•not•iron
• synthetics,•nylon,•acrylic,•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.
•
First• sort• items• by• ironing• temperature:• syn-
thetics• to• synthetics,• wool• to• wool,• cotton• to•
cotton•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• temperatures• (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•
