IRONING WITHOUT AN IRONING

BOARD
During travelling, an ironing board is not al-
ways at hand, for such cases it is enough to
lay twofold terry towel on the flat surface.
Preliminary make sure, that the surface is
heat resistant and waterproof. Do not use
glass or plastic surfaces.

BEFORE FIRST USAGE
• Unpack the iron; remove the protective

cartoon covering (if any) from the iron
sole (12).

• Wipe the iron sole with a dry cloth.
• Before connecting the iron to the electric

network set the power supply switch (14)
in correspondence with the voltage of
the electric network. After usage of the
iron with network voltage 120 V always
set the switch (14) to the 240 V position, it
will prevent malfunction of the iron while
connecting the iron to the electric net-
work with the increased voltage.

enough.

let.

ed liquids, vinegar, starch solution,
descaling reagents, chemical agents
etc.

pletely and then open the filling open-
