THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage under
cold (winter) conditions, it is necessary to
keep it for at least 3 hours at room temper-
ature before switching on.
• Unpack the iron; remove the protection
from the iron soleplate (10), 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 unit operating voltage.
• The unit is intended for operation with AC
system and 50 or 60 Hz frequency. The unit
does not need any additional settings for
operating with the required nominal fre-
quency.
• There may be water residue in the tank,
this is normal, as the iron has under-
gone factory quality control.
Note: While the first switching on the heat-
ing element of the iron burns, therefore
occurrence 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 proportion 1:1, if tap water is too hard,
mix it with distilled water in proportion 1:2 or
use distilled water only.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before filling the iron with water make sure that
it is unplugged.

supply knob (3) to the position « ».

IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operation test the heated iron on a
piece of cloth to be sure that iron soleplate (10)
and the water tank (9) are clean.
• Always check the recommended ironing
temperature indicated on the tag before
ironing.
• If there is no tag with recommended iron-
ing temperature, but you know the type of
fabric, refer to the following table to deter-
mine the proper temperature.
NOTATION
TYPE OF FABRIC
(TEMPERATURE)
•
Synthetics, nylon, acrylic,
polyester (low temperature)
••
Silk/wool (medium
temperature)
•••
(МАХ)
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: 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 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.
