• Ensure that all stickers and labels have been removed from the soleplate (11).

• Some parts of the appliance were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the iron is first used. This is not dangerous. Allow the appliance to heat up and iron a piece of damp cloth until the soleplate is completely clean.

• The first few shots of steam should not be directed towards clothing, as the steam may contain material particles left over from the production process.

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Turn the steam quantity button (3) to position 0.

• Open the cover (2) on the nozzle for water refilling and carefully fill with tap water until the water level has reached the MAX mark on the side of the appliance. Never fill past this mark. The appliance can hold 160 ml of water.

• Never use chemically distilled water or perfumed water. Close the cover.

• Always pour the excess water away after use. ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE

• Read any ironing instructions on the garment. As a rule, there will be a pictogram of an iron and a number of dots. These dots indicate the setting that should be selected on the appliance’s thermostat dial (9). See table below. Material Symbol Tempera- ture Synthetic, silk

• If there are no ironing instructions on the garment, but you know what fabric it is made of, the table can be used. The table only applies to the relevant material and is for guidance only.

• Garments with printed and sewn- on features are best ironed on the reverse of the material at low temperature.

• For fabrics made of several different materials, you should always adjust the temperature to suit the material that can tolerate the least heat. If, for instance, a product consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, adjust the temperature of the appliance for ironing polyester.

• Sort the items to be ironed according to the temperature at which they are to be ironed.

• The appliance will get hot quicker than it cools down. Therefore always start with garments to be ironed at the lowest temperature. USE Insert the plug (6) into an electrical socket and place the appliance upright on its base (7) on the ironing board. Dry ironing

• Turn the steam adjustment button (3) to position 0.

• Turn the thermostat button (9) to the required setting. The indicator light (8) will come on.

• Once the indicator light goes out, the required temperature has been reached and you can start to dry iron. The indicator light will go on and off during use, which merely indicates that it is maintaining the selected temperature.
