Note: While the first switching on, the heating 
element  of  the  iron  burns,  therefore  occur-
rence of foreign smell and a small amount of 
smoke is possible, it is normal.

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• iron• with• water,• make• sure• that•
the•unit•is•unplugged.

•

Set• the• temperature• control• knob• (7)• to• the•

Open•the•water•inlet•lid•(2).

•

Pour• water• into• the• water• tank• (10)• using• the•
beaker•(14)•and•then•close•the•lid•(2).

Notes:

- Do not exceed the “MAX” mark (13).
-  If  you  need  to  refill  water  during  ironing,  then 
first switch the iron off and unplug the iron. After 
you finish ironing, switch the unit off, wait until it 
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•iron•soleplate•(11)•and•the•
water•tank•(10)•are•clean.

•

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•fabric,•
refer• to• the• following• table• to• determine• the•
proper•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• temperature• (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• ironing• temper-
ature• (for• instance,• if• an• item• is• made• of•
polyester• and• cotton,• it• should• be• ironed• at•

•

If• you• cannot• define• the• fabric• structure,• find•
a•spot•that•is•inconspicuous•when•the•item•is•
being•worn•and•select•the•ironing•temperature•
experimentally• (always• start• with• the• lowest•
temperature•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•
slight•pressure.
