E N G L I S H

• Unpack the iron; remove the protection from

the iron soleplate (13), if any.

• Check the unit for damages; do not use the

iron in case of damages.

• Make sure that the voltage of the mains cor-

responds to the operating voltage of the

iron.

WATER SELECTION

Use tap water to fill the tank. If tap water is

hard, it is recommended to mix it with distilled

water in proportion 1:1, if tap water is too hard,

mix it with distilled water in proportion 1:2 or

use distilled water only.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Before filling the tank with water make sure that

the unit is unplugged.

• Set the temperature control knob (10) to the

«MIN» position and the continuous steam

supply knob (3) to the «

» position.

• Open the water inlet lid (2).

• Pour the water into the water tank (9) using

the beaker (14) and then close the lid (2).

Notes:

• Do not fill the water tank (9) with scented

liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling

reagents, chemical agents etc.

• Do not exceed the «MAX» mark (12).

• If you need to refill water during ironing,

switch the iron off and unplug it.

IRONING TEMPERATURE

• Always check the recommended ironing

temperature indicated on the tag before

ironing.

• If there is no tag with recommended ironing

temperature, but you know the type of fab-

ric, refer to the following table to determine

the proper ironing temperature.

Symbol Fabric type (temperature)

•

Synthetics, nylon, acrylic, polyester

(low temperature)

•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)

••• Cotton, linen (high temperature)

MAX

Maximum temperature

• This table is only valid for smooth materi-

als. It is better to iron other types of fabrics

(crimped, raised etc.) at low temperature.

• Sort items by ironing temperature first: 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 begin

ironing at low temperature (for instance,

synthetic fabrics).

• After that start ironing at higher tempera-

tures (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 made from acrylic and

cotton, it should be ironed at temperature

used for acrylic ironing «•»).

• If you cannot define the fabric structure,

find a place that is hidden while wearing and

select the ironing temperature experimen-

tally (always start with the lowest tempera-

ture and raise it gradually until you get the

desired result).

• Corduroy and other fabrics that become

glossy quickly should be ironed strictly in

one direction (in the direction of the pile)

with little pressure.

• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on syn-

thetic and silk fabrics, iron them backside.

SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE

• Place the iron on its base (8).

• Insert the power plug into the mains socket.

• Turn the control knob (10) to set the required

ironing temperature: «•», «••», «•••» or

«MAX», depending on the type of fabric, the

pilot lamp (7) will light up.

• When the soleplate (13) reaches the set

temperature, the pilot lamp (7) will go out,

you can start ironing.

Note: While the first switching on the heating

element of the iron burns, therefore occurrence

of foreign smell and a small amount of smoke is

possible, it is normal.
