level with your ironing board. When setting the
steam station on the ironing board, make sure
that the ironing board is reliable and steady.

of smoke or extraneous smell is possible, it is
normal.
•
When using the steam function for the first
time, wait about 1 minute until the pump starts
and steam is released.
•
After switching the unit on and during the
operation you will hear characteristic sounds
of a working pump. These sounds are caused
by normal operation and are not a malfunction.
•
Before using the unit, iron a piece of cloth to
clean the steam ducts of the iron soleplate
(1) and the boiler. During the first operation
some particles may appear from the iron
soleplate (1) openings, it is normal and not a
malfunction.

dle (4) only.

IRONING TEMPERATURE
•
Always check the recommended ironing
temperature indicated on the tag before
ironing.
•
If the item label is marked with the symbol ,
do not iron the item.
•
Before ironing sort items by the ironing
temperature: synthetics to synthetics, wool to
wool, cotton to cotton etc.
•
It is recommended to iron the synthetic fabrics
first. After that, start ironing silk or wool items.
Cotton and linen items should be ironed last.
•
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
synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them backside.
STEAM SUPPLY

You can iron woolen clothes both from the
back side and face side, but in the latter case
