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 three 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•propor-
tion•1:1,•if•tap•water•is•too•hard,•mix•it•with•distilled•
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•supply•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.
• To• avoid• appearance• of• glossy• spots• on• syn-
thetic•and•silk•fabrics,•iron•them•from•backside.
