Steam ironing
Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator D to the position 0 (Fig. 2) and
slide the cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to the container I with the
enclosed cup N (Fig. 4) and close the filling hole lid in the opposite direction. Keep the
position of the iron for pouring in water. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and
set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2 - ). Plug the power
cord M to a socket. When the control light G goes off, move the steaming regulator D
away from handle. The more you move the regulator towards MAX, the bigger amount of
outgoing steam there will be (Fig. 5). Place the iron to the rest position, automatic creation
of steam will stop (more steam may be going out for a short time).
Warning
– Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the SELF CLEAN button.
– When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit (max. 300 ml), steam
can be created even in the rest position.
– At places with hard water we recommend diluting it with distilled water. You will get
the information about water hardness at the water-management authorities, or at the
local sanitary station. For water hardness > 15 °N we recommend filling the iron in the
following ratio:
Water hardness Ratio of tap water : distilled water
medium 2 : 1
hard 1 : 1
very hard 1 : 2
Sprinkling appliance (additional spray)
It is used for moistening fabrics and it is effective in ironing extremely creased fabrics.
It is activated by repeated pressing of additional spray button E. We do not recommend
applying additional spray for fine fabrics (e.g. silk and synthetic) as the used water may
stain the fabric.
Intensive steaming (steam shock)
Use only if the steam ironing is insufficient. In this case press intensive steaming button F
several times (Fig. 6A -). Thus you will get additional steam except for the steam created
by standard steaming.
Warning
When you press intensive steaming button F several times, water may drip from the ironing
plate due to excess water in the steam chamber. Do not consider this as faulty operation.
VERTIcaL SYSTEM
It is intensive vertical steaming for steaming freely hanging textiles. Set the regulation
wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2). Stretch the fabric slightly with one hand
and move the iron vertically bottom-up (Fig. 6B - ). Press the intensive steaming button
F so that you reach vertical steam hammer. Do not hold the intensive steaming button
pressed continuously and do not use it more than 10 times consecutively.
