WATER SELECTION

Use tap water to fill the tank. If tap water is hard, it is recommended to mix it with distilled water in proportion 1:1, if tap water is too hard, mix it with distilled water in proportion 1:2 or use distilled water only.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

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

• Set the temperature control knob (11) to the «MIN» position and the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the position • (steam supply is off).
• Open the water inlet lid (2).
• Pour the water into the water tank (10) and then close the lid (2).

Notes:

• Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling reagents, chemical agents etc.
  • Do not exceed the «MAX» mark (13).
• If you need to refill water during ironing, switch the iron off and unplug it.

IRONING TEMPERATURE

• Always check the recommended ironing temperature 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 ironing 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. Other types of fabrics (crimped, raised etc.) should be 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 temperature (for instance, if an item is made from 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 hidden 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, iron them back-side.

DRY IRONING

• Place the iron on its base (8).
• Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Set the continuous steam supply knob (3) to the «•» position (continuous steam supply is off).
