THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE 
ONLY

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

After  unit  transportation  or  storage  at  low  tem-
perature  keep  it  for  at  least  three  hours  at  room 
temperature.

•

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•qual-
ity•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, and 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•«OFF»•(SWITCHED•OFF),•and•the•con-
tinuous• steam• supply• knob• (3)• to• the• lower•
position•–•steam•supply•is•off.

•

Open•the•water•inlet•lid•(2).

•

Pour• water• into• the• water• tank• (10)• and• then•
close•the•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 you finish ironing, switch the iron off, wait 
until  it  cools  down  completely,  then  open  the 
water  inlet  lid  (2),  turn  over  the  iron  and  drain 
the remaining 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.

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•

•

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•
