2 Operation

2.1 Intended use

This appliance is intended only for household use and ironing; it is not suitable for professional use.

2.2 Initial use

Prior to initial use, fill twice and vaporize to remove the manufacturing residues. Meanwhile, use shock steam button (11) frequently.

You can smell a mild odour or see white sediments coming out of the sole-plate holes. After performing vaporizing process twice, such odours and sediments will disappear. Also water droplets may form within the water reservoir; this is normal.

2.3 Refilling the water reservoir

Your appliance is designed for use with tap water. If your tap water is excessively hard, we recommend you to use a mixture of tap water with potable water.

2.4 Setting the temperature

• After the appliance is plugged in, set the temperature according to the type of your fabric by turning the temperature adjustment knob (5) in clockwise direction (see. 2.5).
• Thermostat indicator light (4) will light up.
• When the appliance reaches the set temperature, thermostat indicator light (4) will turn off and the appliance is ready to use.

2 Operation

2.5 Temperature and steam settings table

When setting the temperature of the appliance, consider the following table.

Fabric Type Temperature control Temperautre requirement
Silk	• Low temperature
Wool	•• Medium temperature
Cotton, linen	••• High temperature
Linen - Jean	Max High temperature

• If you don't know the fabric of your garment, first iron an invisible part of your garment and determine a correct ironing temperature for it.
• In order to prevent the bright stains that may form on the synthetic fabrics such as silk, iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Do not use the water spraying feature in order to prevent the stain formation.

WARNING: Before ironing first check the label of the garment.

2.6 Steam ironing

WARNING:

• For ironing with steam, temperature adjustment knob should be between "and"max" position.
• Turn the steam adjustment button(9) to desired steam level.

2.7 Shock steam

WARNING:

• Wait for a few seconds before pressing the shock steam button (11) again. Pressing the button repeatedly may cause water come through the soleplate (6) together with steam.
• At the start of ironing, the first few presses may not produce shock steam. To produce shock steam, temperature knob should be at “” or higher position.
• In order to use the shock steam feature the thermostat indicator light (4) should be turned off.

2 Operation

2.8 Vertical steam

WARNING:

• Hold the appliance 15-30 cm away from the garment and curtains.
• During the ironing if the thermostat indicator light (4) turns on, before proceeding with the shock steam process wait for the light to turn off.
  • Never direct this steam to people or pets.

2.9 Spraying water

You can easily remove creases using the water spraying feature.

2.10 Dry ironing

In order to make dry ironing, set the steam setting button (9) to the "position.

Having water in the appliance would be advantageous; you may use the water spraying button (10) when necessary.

2.11 Anti-dripping system

This iron is equipped with drip stop function: the iron automatically stops steaming when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate.

With the anti-dripping system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
