AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF
This iron model features two automatic switch-
off modes.
1. If the iron remains still for 30 seconds in hori-
zontal position, the unit heating element will
be switched off and the pilot lamp (9) will be
flashing. The unit will be switched on automat-
ically once you resume ironing.
2. If the iron remains still for 8 minutes in ver-
tical position, the unit heating element will
be switched off and the pilot lamp (9) will be
flashing. The unit will be switched on automat-
ically once you resume ironing.
WATER SELECTION
Use tap water to fill the tank. If tap water is hard, it is
recommended to mix it with distilled water in propor-
tion 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 (11) to the
«MIN» position and set the continuous steam
supply knob (3) to the position «
» (continu-
ous steam supply is off).
Open the water inlet lid (2).
Pour water into the water tank (10) and then
close the lid (2).
Notes:
Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling
reagents, chemical agents etc.
Do not exceed the “MAX” mark (13).
If you need to refill water during ironing,
switch the iron off at first and unplug it.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Always check the recommended iron tem-
perature indicated on the tag before ironing.
If there is no tag with recommendations for
ironing, but you know the type of fabric, use
the following table to determine the proper
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 materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised etc.)
are best ironed 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, syn-
thetic fabrics).
After that, start ironing at higher temperature
(silk or wool items). 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 inconspicuous while wearing
and select the ironing temperature experi-
mentally (always start with the lowest temper-
ature 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.
DRY IRONING
Place the iron on its base (8).
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to
the position «
» (continuous steam sup-
ply is off).
Set the desired ironing temperature depend-
ing on the type of fabric by turning the knob
(11): «», «••», «•••» or «MAX», the pilot
lamp (9) will light up.
Once the soleplate (14) reaches the set tem-
perature, the pilot lamp (9) will go out and you
can start ironing.
After you finish ironing, switch the tempera-
ture control knob (11) to the «MIN» position.
Pull the power plug out of the mains socket
and let the iron cool down completely.
STEAM IRONING
Steam ironing is possible only if the tempera-
ture control knob (11) is set to the position «••»,
«•••» or «max».
