network corresponds to the iron’s operat-
ing voltage.
Note:
- The iron’s heating element is scorched
during the first use; it is normal for a
small amount of smoke or extraneous
smell to be released.
FILLING THE WATER TANK WITH WATER
Make sure that the iron is disconnected from
electrical power before filling it with water.
• Set the temperature control (10) to the
“min” position, and the constant steam
supply control (3) to the “ ” position.
• Open the water tank lid (2).
• Fill the unit with water, using the jug (13),
firmly close the lid (2).
Note:
- Do not fill the unit with water above the
“MAX” mark.
- If you need to refill the water tank dur-
ing ironing, turn off the iron and unplug
the power cord from the outlet.
- After you finish ironing, switch off the
unit, wait until it cools down complete-
ly, then open the water tank lid (2) and
drain the remaining water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operating test the heated iron on the
old cloth to be sure that the iron sole (12) and
the water tank (9) are clean.
• Always check the recommended iron tem-
perature indicated on the tag before iron-
ing.
• If the tag does not list the recommended
ironing temperature, but you know the type
of fabric, then use the following table to de-
termine the proper temperature.
Signs Fabric type (temperature)
•
Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester (low
temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
•••
(MAX)
Cotton/flax (high temperature)
• This table is only for smooth materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised
etc.) are best ironed at low temperature.
• First sort items by ironing temperature:
wool with wool, cotton with cotton etc.
• The iron heats up faster than is cools down.
For this reason it is recommended to begin
ironing at low temperature (for instance
synthetic fabrics).
• After that, move to higher temperature
ironing. Cotton and linens should be ironed
last.
• If an item is made from a mix of fabrics,
then the iron should be set for the fabric
with the lowest ironing (for instance if an
item is made from polyester and cotton, it
should be ironed at the temperature used
for ironing polyester “•”).
• If you cannot define the fabric the item is
made from, find a place on it that is hid-
den while wearing and, on practice select
the ironing temperature (always start at the
lowest and gradually raise it until you get
the desired result.).
• Corduroy and other fabrics that start glossy
quickly should be ironed strictly in one di-
rection (along the lines) with slight pres-
sure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on the
synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them back-
side.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
• Place the iron on its base (8). (Place the
iron vertically.)
• Insert the plug into the socket.
• Turn the temperature control (10) to set the
required ironing temperature: “•”, “••”,
“•••” or max, (depending on the type of
fabric), the (6) indicator will light up.
• When the sole temperature (12) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (6) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
Note:
- While steam ironing set the necessary
intensity of steam generation using the
steam supply control (3).
