ENGLISH
caused by improper usage of the unit.
• Keep the unit vertically in a dry cool
place, out of reach of children.
• The unit is intended for household us-
age only.
BEFORE FIRST USAGE
• Take out the iron from the package and
remove the protective cartoon cover-
ing from the iron soleplate (11).
• Make sure that the electrical supply
voltage corresponds to the iron’s op-
erating voltage.
Note:
The iron’s heating element is broken
in during the first use; it is normal for
a small amount of smoke or 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.
• Open the water tank lid (4).
• Fill the unit with water, using the bowl
(7), firmly close the lid (4).
Note:
- Do not fill the unit with water above
the “MAX” mark.
- If you need to refill the water tank
during 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
completely, then open the water
tank lid (4) and drain the remaining
water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operating test the heated iron
on the old cloth to be sure that the iron
soleplate (11) and the water tank (6) are
clean.
• Always check the recommended iron
temperature indicated on the tag be-
fore ironing.
• If the tag does not list the recommend-
ed ironing temperature, but you know
the type of fabric, then use the follow-
ing table to determine the proper tem-
perature.
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 tempera-
ture.
• 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 recommend-
ed to begin ironing at low temperature
(for instance synthetic fabrics).
• After that, move to higher tempera-
ture ironing. Cotton and flax should be
ironed last.
• If an item is made from a mix of fabrics,
then the iron should be set for the fab-
ric with the lowest ironing (for instance
if an item is made from polyester and
cotton, it should be ironed at the tem-
perature used for ironing polyester
“•”).
• If you cannot define the fabric the item
is made from, find a place on it that is
hidden while wearing and, on practice
select the ironing temperature (always
start at the lowest and gradually raise it
until you get the desired result.).
