CHOICE OF WATER
To fill the water tank use regular tap water.
If the water is hard then it is recommend-
ed to mix it with distilled water at a ratio
of 1:1, if the water is very hard, mix it with
distilled water at a ratio of 1:2 or use only
distilled water.
Note:
Do not fill the water tank (10) with scent-
ed liquids, vinegar, starch solutions,
descaling reagents, chemical substanc-
es etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Make sure that the iron is disconnected from
electrical power before filling it with water.
Set the steam release regulator (3) to the
position of steam vapor OFF.
Open the water tank lid (2).
Fill the water tank with water (10). Close
the lid (2).
Note:
Do not fill it with water above MAX. in-
dication.
If you need to refill the water tank dur-
ing ironing, turn off the iron and unplug
the power cord from the outlet.
When you finish ironing, open the wa-
ter tank lid (2) and pour out the re-
maining water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before ironing test the heated iron on the old
cloth to be sure that the iron soleplate (13)
and the water tank (10) are clean.
Always check the recommended iron
temperature indicated on the tag before
ironing.
If the tag does not list the recommended
ironing temperature, but you know the
type of fabric, then use the following table
to determine the proper temperature.
This table is only for smooth materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised
etc.) are best ironed at low temperature.
Determination of Fabric type/
temperature
Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
(low temperature)
••
Silk/wool (medium temperature)
•••
Cotton/linen (high temperature)
First sort items by ironing temperature:
wool with wool, cotton with cotton etc.
The iron heats up faster than it cools
down. For this reason it is recommended
to begin ironing at low temperature (for in-
stance synthetic fabrics). After that, move
to higher temperature ironing. Cotton and
linen should be ironed after all the others.
If an item is made from a mix of fabrics,
then the iron should be set for the fabric
with the lowest ironing (for instance if an
item is made from 60% polyester and 40%
cotton, it should be ironed at the tempera-
ture used for ironing polyester “”).
If you cannot define the fabric the item is
made from, 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 lines) with slight
pressure.
To avoid appearance of glossy spots on
the synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them
back-side.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
Place the iron on the base (8).
Insert the power plug into the outlet.
Set the temperature regulator (11) to the
required ironing temperature: ”, ••”,
••• or max (depending on the type
of fabric), the (9) indicator will light up.
When the soleplate temperature (13)
reaches the desired temperature value,
the (9) indicator will go out, you can start
ironing.
