Operation

Intended use
This appliance is intended only for household use and ironing; it is not suitable for profes-sional use.

Initial use
Prior to initial use, fill twice and vaporize to remove the manufacturing residues. Meanwhile, use shock steam button (11) frequently.You can smell a mild odour or see white sediments coming out of the sole-plate holes. After performing vaporizing process twice, such odours and sediments will disappear. Also water droplets may form within the water reservoir; this is normal.

Refilling the water reservoir
Your appliance is designed for use with tap water. If your tap water is ex- cessively hard, we recommend you to use a mixture of tap water with potable water.

Setting the temperature

• After the appliance is plugged in, set the temperature according to the type of your fabric by turning the temperature adjustment knob (5) in clockwise direction (see. 2.5).
  • Thermostat indicator light (4) will light up.
• When the appliance reaches the set temperature, thermostat indicator light (4) will turn off and the appliance is ready to use.

Temperature and steam settings table
When setting the temperature of the appliance, consider the following table.

• If you don’t know the fabric of your garment, first iron an invisible part of your garment and determine a correct ironing temperature for it.
• In order to prevent the bright stains that may form on the synthetic fabrics such as silk, iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Do not use the water spraying feature in order to prevent the stain formation.

WARNING: Before ironing first check the label of the garment.
