Marks Fabric type (temperature)
•
Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
•••
(max)
Cotton/linen (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:
synthetic materials to synthetic materials,
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 of a mix of fabrics, then
the iron should be set for the fabric with
the lowest ironing (for instance if an item
is made of polyester and cotton, it should
be ironed at the temperature used for
ironing polyester “•”).
• If you cannot define the fabric the item is
made of, 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).
• Corduroy and other fabrics that start
glossy quickly should be ironed strictly in
one direction (along the pile) with slight
pressure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on
the synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them
back-side.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
• Lift the handle (6) and it will lock, to lower
the handle (6) press the (11) button and
lower the handle
• Before connecting the iron to the electric
network set the power supply switch (14)
in correspondence with the voltage of
the electric network. After usage of the
iron with network voltage 120 V always
set the switch (14) to the 240 V position, it
will prevent malfunction of the iron while
connecting the iron to the electric net-
work with the increased voltage.
• Unwind the power cord and insert the
plug into the socket.
• Set the temperature control (9) to the
required ironing temperature: “
•”, “••”,
“
•••”, “MAX” depending on the type of
fabric, the (7) indicator will light up.
• Place the iron vertically.
• When the sole (12) temperature reaches
the desired temperature value, the (7) in-
dicator will go out, you can start ironing.
Note: When using the unit for the first
time, the heating element of the unit
burns that is why some smoke or for-
eign odor can appear. It is normal.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM
• Set the constant steam supply on/off
button (2) to the upper position (steam
supply is off).
• Set the temperature control (9) to the re-
quired ironing temperature.
• Place the iron vertically.
• When the sole temperature (12) reaches
the desired temperature value, the (7) in-
dicator will go out, you can start ironing.
• After operation, take the plug out of the
socket and wait until the iron cools down
completely.
• Press the (11) button and lower the iron
handle (6) down.
WATER SPRAYER
You can dampen the fabric, by pressing the
spray button (3) several times.
• Make sure that there is enough water in
the water tank.
STEAM IRONING
While steam ironing set the temperature
control (9) to the “MAX” position.
