INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Check if the dual voltage switch A12 has been set to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance (fig. 2). Lift off the handle A3 to the operating position so that its arrest is ensured. At first switch the iron ON to maximum temperature and let the iron at least 10 minutes running without water.
Ironing without steaming
Plug the power cord A9 to electric socket. Put the iron to the rest position
(Fig. 8). Turn the steaming regulator A2 to the position, steaming off (Fig.
6) or pour out water from the container A8. Set the temperature using
regulation temperature dial A5 according to the selected fabric material (Fig.
3). Reaching the required temperature is shown by turning the indicator lamp
A6 OFF.
WARNING
-
During ironing the thermostat will cycle, which is accompanied by characteristic
sound (clicking). This is normal situation and does not form the reason for warranty claim related to the appliance. -
To set the temperatures, you just need to turn the thermostat regulation wheel (to the right left) within the given range. Forcible rotation could lead to damaging the regulation wheel.
Recommendation
Control temperature dial A5 (Fig. 3) is marked with international symbols that
recommend the optimum ironing temperature and they are the same as marking on
some types of laundry and textiles (Fig. 4). When the temperature is increased
from the cold state or if the temperature is set from higher to lower, we
recommend waiting for a while due to stabilization of the ironing plate
temperature.
Steam ironing
Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator A2 to the position
(Fig. 6) and slide the cover A1 to open the filling container lid. Pour in
water to the container A8 (Fig. 5) with the enclosed cup B and close the
filling hole lid in the opposite direction. Keep the position of the iron for
pouring in water. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 8). Plug the power
cord A9 to a socket. Select the temperature setting •• / ••• most suitable for
the fabric to be ironed. When the control light A6 goes off, move the steaming
regulator A2 to the position , steaming on. Place the iron to the rest
position, automatic creation of steam will stop (more steam may be going out
for a short time).
Warning
- Setting to pressure steam ironing os recommended only if the regulation temperature dial A5 is set to temperature setting •• / •••.
- When water container A8 is filled with water over the permitted limit (MAX. 55 ml), steam can be created even in the rest position.
- At places with hard water we recommend diluting it with distilled water.
Intensive steaming (steam shock)
Use only if the steam ironing is insufficient. In this case press intensive
steaming button A4 several times (Fig. 7 – ).
Thus you will get additional steam except for the steam created by standard steaming. An intense „burst“ of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. For optimum steam quality, leave an interval of at least four seconds between pressing the Surge of Steam button.
WARNING
- When you press intensive steaming button A4 several times, water may drip from the ironing plate due to excess water in the steam chamber. Do not consider this as faulty operation.
- The shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures.
Storage
After finishing ironing, pour out the unused water from the container (be
careful, it can be hot), or let the rest of the water evaporate and let the
iron cool down. Then turn regulator
A2 to position (steam switched off). Put the iron to the rest position (Fig.
8). For tilting the handle you have to push lock button A11 PUSH (Fig. 9).
MAINTENANCE
Before every maintenance, unplug the iron from power supply by taking the fork of the power cord out of the socket! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, peelers, pot scourers, caustic agents for cleaning or other solvents). Wipe the entire iron with a wet cloth in the cooled state and dry up. If brown film is created on the ironing plate (e.g. when ironing starched laundry), you can remove the film by a detergent containing fine sand. The iron is equipped with a permanent decalcification system ANTI CALC that does not require maintenance. But the system cannot fully prevent creation of calcareous sediments.
More extensive maintenance or maintenance requiring intervention in the inner
parts of the appliance must be carried out by professional service!
Failure to comply with the instructions of the manufacturer will lead to
expiration of the right to guarantee repair!
