CHOICE OF WATER

•  To fill the water tank use regular tap wa-

ter. If the water is hard then it is recom-
mended 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 
scented liquids, vinegar, starch solu-
tions, descaling reagents, chemical 
substances 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 un-
plug the power cord from the outlet. 

•  

When you finish ironing, open the 
water 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 tempera-
ture.

Determination of Fabric type/tempera-
ture

•

Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester 

(low temperature)

••

Silk/wool (medium temperature)

•••

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: 

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 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 to (for instance if 
an item is made from 60% polyester and 
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the 
temperature used for ironing polyester 
“

”).

•  If you cannot define the fabric the item is 

made from, find a place on it that is hid-
den 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. 

SET TING 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: “
