THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE 

ONLY

BEFORE THE THE FIRST USE

After unit transportation or storage under cold 

(winter)  conditions,  it  is  necessary  to  keep  it 

for  at  least  three  hours  at  room  temperature 

before switching on.

•

Unpack•the•iron;•remove•the•protection•from•the•
iron•soleplate•(13),•if•any.

•

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

•

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

•

Avoid• contact• of• the• iron• soleplate• with• sharp•
objects.

•

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

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•propor-
tion• 1:1,• if• tap• water• is• too• hard,• mix• it• with• distilled•
water•in•proportion•1:2•or•use•distilled•water•only.

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•«

OFF

»•

position•and•the•continuous•steam•supply•knob•(3)•
to•the•leftmost•position•–•steam•supply•is•off.

•

Open•the•water•inlet•lid•(2).

•

Pour• water• into• the• water• tank• (10)• using• the•
beaker•(15)•and•then•close•the•lid•(2)•tight.

Notes

•

Do not exceed the “MAX” mark.

•

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 the iron over 

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•(13)•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•recommendations•for•ironing,•
but•you•know•the•type•of•fabric,•use•the•following•
table•to•determine•the•proper•temperature.

Signs

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.

•

Sort•items•by•ironing•temperature•first:•synthet-
ics• to• synthetics,• wool• to• wool,• cotton• to• cot-
ton•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•fab-
rics).•After•that,•start•ironing•at•higher•tempera-
tures•(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•
experimentally•(always•start•with•the•lowest•tem-
perature• 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.

•

To• avoid• appearance• of• glossy• spots• on• syn-
thetic•and•silk•fabrics,•iron•them•from•backside.
