FILLING THE WATER TANK

Before filling the tank with water make sure that the unit is unplugged.

IRONING TEMPERATURE

• Always check the recommended ironing temperature indicated on the tag before ironing.
• If the tag does not list the recommended ironing temperature, but you know the type of fabric, refer to the following table to determine the proper temperature.

Symbol	Fabric type (temperature)
•	Synthetics, nylon, acrylic, polyester (low temperature)
••	Silk/wool (medium temperature)
•••	Cotton, linen (high temperature)
MAX	Maximum 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: synthetics 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 temperature (for instance, if an item is made of acrylic and cotton, it should be ironed at temperature used for acrylic ironing «•»).
• If you cannot define the fabric structure, find a place that is inconspicuous while wearing 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 little pressure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on synthetic and silk fabrics, it is recommended to iron them from backside.
