THE  UNIT  IS  INTENDED  FOR  HOUSEHOLD 
USAGE ONLY

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

After unit transportation or storage at low temper-
ature keep it for at least three hours at room tem-
perature before switching on.

•

Unpack• the• iron;• remove• protection• from• the•
soleplate•(14),•if•any.

•

Check• the• unit• for• damages,• do• not• use• the•
iron•in•case•of•damages.

•

Before• switching• the• iron• on,• make• sure• that•
your• home• mains• voltage• corresponds• to• the•
iron•operating•voltage.

•

There• may• be• water• residue• in• the• tank,• this•
is• normal,• as• the• iron• has• undergone• factory•
quality•control.

Notes:

  When  the  iron  is  switched  on  for  the 

first  time,  the  heating  element  of  the  iron  burns, 
therefore occurrence of foreign smell and a small 
amount of smoke is possible, it is normal.

WATER SELECTION

You• can• use• tap• water• to• fill• the• water• tank• (10).•
If•tap•water•is•hard,•use•distilled•or•demineralized•
water,•this•will•prolong•service•life•of•the•iron.

Note: 

Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented 

liquids,  vinegar,  starch  solution,  descaling 
reagents, chemical agents etc.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Before•filling•the•iron•with•water,•make•sure•that•it•
is•unplugged.

•

Set• the• temperature• control• knob• (11)• to• the•
position• «MIN»• (OFF),• and• the• continuous•
steam•supply•knob•(3)•to•the•position•

•(con-

tinuous•steam•supply•is•off).

•

Open•the•water•inlet•lid•(2).

•

Pour• water• into• the• water• tank• (10)• and• then•
close•the•water•inlet•lid•(2)•tightly.

Notes:

•

Do not pour water over the “MAX” mark (13).

•

If you need to refill water during ironing, switch 
the  iron  off  and  unplug  it,  after  that  you  can 
add the necessary amount of water.

•

After  you  finish  ironing,  switch  the  iron  off, 
unplug  it,  wait  until  the  iron  soleplate  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•the•iron•soleplate•(14)•and•
the•water•tank•(10)•are•clean.

•

Always• check• the• recommended• ironing• tem-
perature•indicated•on•the•tag•before•ironing.

•

If• there• is• no• tag• with• recommended• ironing•
temperature,• but• you• know• the• type• of• fabric,•
use•the•following•table•to•determine•the•proper•
temperature.

Icons

Fabric type (temperature)

do•not•iron

•

Synthetics,•nylon,•acryl,•polyester•
(low•temperature)

••

silk/wool•(medium•temperature)

•••

cotton/linen•(high•temperature)

•

This• table• is• only• valid• for• smooth• materials.•
Fabrics• of• other• types• (crimped,• raised,• etc.)•
are•best•ironed•at•low•temperature.

•

First• sort• items• by• ironing• temperature:• 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•iron•the•
items• which• require• low• temperature• first• (for•
instance,• synthetic• fabrics).• After• that,• start•
ironing• at• higher• temperatures• (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•60%•polyester•and•40%•
cotton,•it•should•be•ironed•at•temperature•used•
for•polyester•ironing•“•”).

•

If• you• cannot• define• the• fabric• structure,• find•
a• spot• that• is• inconspicuous• when• the• item• is•
being•worn•and•select•the•ironing•temperature•
