water is very hard, mix it with distilled water at
a ratio of 1:2 or use only distilled water.
Note:
Do not fill the water tank (12) with scented
liquids, vinegar, starch solutions, descal-
ing reagents, chemical substances etc.
FILLING THE WATER TANK (pic. 1, 2)
Make sure that the iron is disconnected from
electrical power before filling it with water.
• Turn the steam release regulator (3) anti-
clockwise until bumping-steam supply is
off.
• Open the water tank lid (2).
• Fill it with water using the water bowl (18).
Close the lid (2).
Note:
• Do not fill it with water above MAX
mark.
• If you need to refill the water tank dur-
ing ironing, turn off the iron and unplug
the power cord from the outlet.
• After you finish ironing, open the water
tank lid (2) and drain the remaining wa-
ter (pic.8).
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operating test the heated iron on the
old cloth to be sure that the iron sole (17) and
the water tank (12) are clean.
• Always check the recommended iron tem-
perature indicated on the tag before iron-
ing.
• If the tag does not list the recommended
ironing temperature, but you know the type
of fabric, then use the following table to
determine the proper temperature.
Signs Fabric type/temperature
Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester (low
•
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton/flax (high temperature)
• This table is only for smooth materials.
Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised
etc.) are best ironed at low temperature.

temperature)
• First sort items by ironing temperature:
wool with wool, cotton with cotton etc.
• The iron heats up faster than is cools down.
For this reason it is recommended to be-
gin ironing at low temperature (for instance
synthetic fabrics). After that, move to high-
er temperature ironing. Cotton and linens
should be ironed last.
• If an item is made from a mix of fabrics,
then the iron should be set for the fabric
with the lowest ironing (for instance if an
item is made from 60% polyester and 40%
cotton, it should be ironed at the tempera-
ture used for ironing polyester "•").
• If you cannot define the fabric the item is
made from, find a place on it that is hid-
den while wearing and, on practice select
the ironing temperature (always start at the
lowest and gradually raise it until you get
the desired result.)
• Corduroy and other fabrics that start glossy
quickly should be ironed strictly in one di-
rection (along the lines) with slight pres-
sure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on the
synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them back-
side.
SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
• Place the iron on the base (11).
• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Set the temperature regulator (13) to the
required ironing temperature: "•", "••",
"•••" or "max" (depending on the type
of fabric), the (7) indicator will light up
(Pic.3).
• When the sole temperature (17) reaches
the desired temperature value, the (7) indi-
cator will go out, you can start ironing.
Note: While steam ironing set the tem-
perature to «•••» or «МАХ».
WATER SPRAYER
• You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
spray button (5) several times (pic.4).
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (12).
