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.

Note

The indicator light

G2 on irons with the AUTO STOP feature is active only when

plugging in for the first time (until you change the position of the iron) or when activating

the

AUTO STOP function. The indicator light G2 on irons without this function is active

all the time the iron is plugged in.

Recommendation

Control

H (Fig. 2) 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. 3). 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 (see the

information on the display and listen for sound signalling) due to stabilization of the ironing

plate temperature.

Steam ironing

Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator

D to the position 0 (Fig. 5) and slide

the cover

C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to the container I (Fig. 4) with the

enclosed cup

O 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. 7) and set the regulation

wheel

H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2 -

). Plug the power cord

M to a socket.

When the control light

G1 goes off, move the steaming regulator D away from handle. The

more you move the regulator towards

MAX, the bigger amount of outgoing steam there will

be (Fig. 5). Place the iron to the rest position, automatic creation of steam will stop (more

steam may be going out for a short time).

Warning

– For all normal ironing the middle adjustment of the steam amount is recommended.

Only on ironing the linen fabric, thick cotton and similar fabrics the adjustment of the

steam amount to maximum value is recommended. Setting to high-pressure steam

ironing os recommended only if the regulation wheel

H is set to temperature setting •••.

– Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the

SELF CLEAN button.

– When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit (

MAX. 300 ml), steam

can be created even in the rest position.

– At places with hard water we recommend diluting it with distilled water. You will get the

information about water hardness at the water-management authorities, or at the local

sanitary station.

For water hardness

> 15 °N we recommend filling the iron in the following ratio:

Water hardness

Ratio of tap water : distilled water (pH = 7)

medium

2 : 1

hard

1 : 1

very hard

1 : 2
