ENGLISH
• When the sole temperature (12) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (9) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
Note: While steam ironing set the tempera-
ture to steam using zone or “•••”.
WATER SPRAYER
• You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
spray button (4) several times (pic.4).
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (11).
IRONING
• Place the iron on the base (8).
• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Set the temperature regulator (10) to the re-
quired ironing temperature: “•”, “••”, “•••”
(depending on the type of fabric), the (9) in-
dicator will light up (Pic.3).
• When the sole temperature (12) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (9) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
• After you finish ironing set the (10) regulator
to the “MIN” position.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and let the iron
cool down completely.
STEAM IRONING
For steam ironing set the temperature regula-
tor to steam using zone or “•••”.The iron has
an anti-drop valve, which stops water supply,
when the sole temperature is too low it prevents
the appearance of drops out of the sole open-
ings (12). While heating or cooling down of the
sole (12), you will hear clicks of opening/clos-
ing of the anti-drop valve it means that the valve
works normally.
• Place the iron on the base (8).
• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (11), the indicator (9) is not light-
ing.
• Set the temperature regulator (10) to the re-
quired ironing temperature: to steam using
zone or “•••”. (depending on the type of
fabric), the (9) indicator will light up (Pic.3).
• When the sole temperature (12) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (9) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
• Turn the steam supply regulator (3) to set the
intensity of steaming, steam will start outgo-
ing from the openings of the sole (12).
• After you finish ironing set the (10) regulator
to the “MIN” position and the steam supply
regulator (3) to the off position.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and let the iron
cool down completely.
ATTENTION!
If during the operation steam is not constantly
supplied, check whether the temperature regu-
lator (10) is set properly and whether there is
water in the reservoir.
ADDITIONAL STEAM RELEASE
Additional steam release function is useful
when ironing folds and can only be used at high
ironing temperatures (when the iron tempera-
ture regulator (10) is set to “•••”).
When the additional steam release button (5) is
pressed, steam will be vigorously released from
the openings in the iron sole (pic.5).
Note: In order to avoid leakage of water from
steam openings, press the additional steam
supply button (5) with 4-5 sec. interval.
VERTICAL STEAMING
For vertical steaming can be used only when
the high temperature mode is used (set the
temperature regulator (10) to «•••»).
• Hold the iron vertically at the distance 15-
30 cm from the clothes press the additional
steam release button (5) with 4-5 seconds
interval, steam will be released from the
openings in the iron sole (12) (pic. 6).
Important information
• Vertical steaming is not recommended for
synthetic fabrics.
• To avoid melting the fabric, do not touch the
iron sole to the item while steaming.
• Never steam iron clothing that is being worn
as the steam temperature is very high and
it can cause burns. Use a coat-hanger or a
stand.
STEAM CHAMBER CLEANING
To prolong lifetime of the iron we recommend
cleaning the steam chamber, especially in the
regions with “hard” water.
