IRONING INSTRUCTIONS
CHOICE OF WATER
•This iron can be used with normal tap water.
•If the water in your area is particularly hard, it is advisable to use distilled or
•Do not use chemically
HOW TO FILL IN WATER
•Unplug the iron from the wall outlet.
•Press the steam control button (6) down, so that the steam won’t come out.
•Fill in the water through the inlet.
•Do not fill the water past the maximum level “MAX” of the water tank. This may cause your iron to leak.
Important: Remove the water after use.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING
•Always check first to see whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed.
•Follow these instructions in all cases.
•First you should sort the laundry: Wool with wool, Cotton with cotton etc. Start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature and progress to the higher ones because the iron heats up quicker than it cools down. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres (e.g. cotton with polyester) you must always select the lowest ironing temperature for the composition of those fibres.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
•Insert the plug into the wall socket and stand the iron upright.
•Turn the temperature control knob (8) to the correct temperature.
•The correct temperature will be reached when the pilot light has turned off. The pilot light will be on and off from time to time indicating that the selected temperature is being maintained.
SPRAYING
This function can be used any time and it does not affect the ironing temperature.
•Fill water into the iron as described above.
•Aim the nozzle to the garment.
•Press the spray button (5)
STEAM IRONING
