(6) is blinking. When you start ironing the iron
is switched on automatically.
Choice of water
To fill the water tank use regular tap water. If the
water is hard then it is recommended to mix it
with distilled water at a ratio of 1:1, if the water
is very hard, mix it with distilled water at a ratio of
1:2 or use only distilled water.
Double anti-scale system
The iron is equipped with double anti-scale sys-
tem that consists of installed self-clean system
and Cartridge for water softening (14). If the wa-
ter is hard in your region, follow the instruction of
section "Choice of water".
Before usage
− Take out the iron from the package and re-
move the protective cartoon covering from
the iron soleplate (13).
− Make sure that the electrical supply voltage
corresponds to the iron's operating voltage.
Filling the water tank
Make sure that the iron is disconnected from
electrical power before filling it with water.
− Set the temperature regulator (9) in position
«MIN», set the steam release regulator (4) to
the position «
vapor OFF).
− Open the water tank lid (2) and make sure
that the cartridge is in (14) (pict. 1)
− Using the measuring cup (15), fill the water
tank with water (10), close the lid (2).
Note:
− Do not fill the water tank (10) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solutions, descaling
reagents, chemical substances etc.
− Do not fill it with water above MAX. indicator
(12).
− If you need to refill the water tank during iron-
ing, turn off the iron and unplug the power
cord from the outlet.
Ironing temperature
− Always check the recommended iron tem-
perature indicated on the tag before ironing.
− If the tag does not list the recommended

ironing temperature, but you know the type of
fabric, then use the following table to deter-
mine the proper temperature.

Silk/wool (medium temperature)

Cotton/linen (high temperature)

The table is applicable only to smooth materi-
als.- If another type of material (goffered, em-
bossed, etc.), then it is best to iron it at low tem-
perature.
− First things are to be sorted according to
ironing temperature: synthetics to synthetics,
wool to wool, cotton to cotton, etc.
− Iron heats up faster than gets cold. So first it
is recommended to iron things at low temper-
ature (for example, synthetic fabrics).
− After that start ironing at higher temperatures
(silk, wool).- Items made of cotton and linen
should be ironed at the last turn.
− If the material contains mixed fibers, it is nec-
essary to establish the lowest temperature of
ironing (for example, if the product consists
of elastane and cotton, it should be ironed at
a temperature suitable for elastin «•»).
− If you can't determine the composition of tis-
sue, then look for a product space that is not
noticeable when wearing, and empirically se-
lect the temperature of ironing (always start
with the lowest temperature and gradually in-
crease it until you get the desired result).
− Corduroy and other tissues, which rapidly be-
gin to be glossy, should be strictly be ironed
in one direction (in the direction with the nap)
with a slight pressure.
− In order to avoid shiny patches on synthetic
and silk fabrics, irone them from the inside.
Setting the ironing temperature
− Put the iron on the base (8).
− Plug the power cord into an outlet.
