THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD
USAGE ONLY
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage at low temper-
ature keep it for at least three hours at room tem-
perature before switching on.
• Unpack• the• iron;• remove• protection• from• the•
soleplate•(14),•if•any.
• Check• the• unit• for• damages,• do• not• use• the•
iron•in•case•of•damages.
• Before• switching• the• iron• on,• make• sure• that•
your• home• mains• voltage• corresponds• to• the•
iron•operating•voltage.
• There• may• be• water• residue• in• the• tank,• this•
is• normal,• as• the• iron• has• undergone• factory•
quality•control.
Notes: When the iron is switched on for the
first time, the heating element of the iron burns,
therefore occurrence of foreign smell and a small
amount of smoke is possible, it is normal.
WATER SELECTION
You•can•use•tap•water•to•fill•the•water•tank•(10).•
If•tap•water•is•hard,•use•distilled•or•demineralized•
water,•this•will•prolong•service•life•of•the•iron.
Note: Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before•filling•the•iron•with•water,•make•sure•that•it•
is•unplugged.
• Set• the• temperature• control• knob• (11)• to• the•
position• «MIN»• (OFF),• and• the• continuous•
steam•supply•knob•(3)•to•the•position•
•(con-
tinuous•steam•supply•is•off).
• Open•the•water•inlet•lid•(2).
• Pour• water• into• the• water• tank• (10)• and• then•
close•the•water•inlet•lid•(2)•tightly.
Notes:
• Do not pour water over the “MAX” mark (13).
• If you need to refill water during ironing, switch
the iron off and unplug it, after that you can
add the necessary amount of water.
• After you finish ironing, switch the iron off,
unplug it, wait until the iron soleplate cools
down completely, then open the water inlet lid
(2), turn over the iron and drain the remain-
ing water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before•operation,•test•the•heated•iron•on•a•piece•
of•cloth•to•be•sure•that•the•iron•soleplate•(14)•and•
the•water•tank•(10)•are•clean.
• Always•check•the•recommended•ironing•tem-
perature•indicated•on•the•tag•before•ironing.
• If• there• is• no• tag• with• recommended• ironing•
temperature,•but•you•know•the•type•of•fabric,•
use•the•following•table•to•determine•the•proper•
temperature.
Icons Fabric type (temperature)
do•not•iron
• Synthetics,•nylon,•acryl,•polyester•
(low•temperature)
•• silk/wool•(medium•temperature)
••• 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.
• First• sort• items• by• ironing• temperature:• 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•iron•the•
items• which• require• low• temperature• first• (for•
instance,• synthetic• fabrics).• After• that,• start•
ironing• at• higher• temperatures• (silk/wool).•
Cotton•and•linen•items•should•be•ironed•last.
• If• an• item• is• made• of• mixed• fabrics,• the• iron•
should• be• set• to• the• lowest• temperature• (for•
instance,•if•an•item•is•60%•polyester•and•40%•
cotton,•it•should•be•ironed•at•temperature•used•
for•polyester•ironing•“•”).
• If• you• cannot• define• the• fabric• structure,• find•
a•spot•that•is•inconspicuous•when•the•item•is•
being•worn•and•select•the•ironing•temperature•
