•
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. For this
reason, it is recommended to begin ironing at low
temperature (for instance, synthetic fabrics).
•
After that, start ironing at higher temperature (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 made from polyester and cotton, it should be ironed
at the temperature used for polyester ironing “MIN”).
•
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 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
the direction of the pile) with slight pressure.
•
To avoid appearance of glossy spots on synthetic and
silk fabrics, iron them backside.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
•
Lift the handle (1) and it will be fixed. Press the PUSH
button (7) before moving the handle (1) down.
•
Before plugging the iron in, set the AC voltage selec-
tor (8) according to the mains voltage. After using
the iron at the mains voltage of 110 V always set the
AC voltage selector (8) to the 220 V position, this will
prevent the iron from damage if it is connected to the
mains with higher voltage (fig.1).
•
Unwind the power cord and insert the plug into the
socket.
•
Turn the temperature control knob (11) to set the
required ironing temperature: «MIN», «
••
», «
•••
» or
«MAX» (depending on the type of fabric), the indica-
tor (10) will light up.
•
Place the iron vertically.
•
When the iron soleplate temperature (9) reaches the
desired temperature value, the indicator (10) will go
out, you can start ironing.
Note: if the unit is switched on for the first time, the iron
heating element burns, so a small amount of smoke or
foreign smell may be expected. This is normal.
