ENGLISH
• If you need to refill the water tank during
ironing, turn off the iron and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
• After you finish ironing, open the water
tank lid (2) and drain the remaining water.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
Before operating test the heated iron on the old
cloth to be sure that the iron sole (13) and the
water tank (10) are clean.
• Always check the recommended iron temper-
ature indicated on the tag before ironing.
• If the tag does not list the recommended iron-
ing temperature, but you know the type of fab-
ric, then use the following table to determine
the proper temperature.
Signs Fabric type/temperature
Synthetics, nylon, acryl, polyester
•
(low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton/flax (high temperature)
• This table is only for smooth materials. Fabrics
of other types (crimped, raised etc.) are best
ironed at low temperature.
• First sort items by ironing temperature: wool
with wool, cotton with cotton etc.
• The iron heats up faster than is cools down.
For this reason it is recommended to begin
ironing at low temperature (for instance syn-
thetic fabrics). After that, move to higher tem-
perature ironing. Cotton and linens should be
ironed last.
• If an item is made from a mix of fabrics, then
the iron should be set for the fabric with the
lowest ironing (for instance if an item is made
from 60% polyester and 40% cotton, it should
be ironed at the temperature used for ironing
polyester "•").
• If you cannot define the fabric the item is
made from, find a place on it that is hidden
while wearing and, on practice select the iron-
ing temperature (always start at the lowest
and gradually raise it until you get the desired
result.)
• Corduroy and other fabrics that start glossy
quickly should be ironed strictly in one direc-
tion (along the lines) with slight pressure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on the
synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them back-
side.

SETTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
• Place the iron on the base (8).
• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Set the temperature regulator (11) to the re-
quired ironing temperature: "•", "••", "•••"
or "max" (depending on the type of fabric),
the (9) indicator will light up.
• When the sole temperature (13) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (9) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
Note: While steam ironing set the tempera-
ture «•••» or «МАХ».
WATER SPRAYER
• You can dampen the fabric by pressing the
spray button (4) several times.
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (10).
IRONING
• Place the iron on the base (8).
• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Set the temperature regulator (11) to the re-
quired ironing temperature: "•", "••", "•••"
or "max" (depending on the type of fabric),
the (9) indicator will light up.
• When the sole temperature (13) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (9) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
• After you finish ironing set the (11) regulator to
the "min" position.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and let the iron
cool down completely.
STEAM IRONING
For steam ironing set the temperature regulator
to «•••» or «МаХ».
• Place the iron on the base (8).
• Insert the power plug into the outlet.
• Make sure that there is enough water in the
water tank (10), the (11) indication is not light-
ing.
• Set the temperature regulator (11) to the re-
quired ironing temperature: "•••" or "max",
the (9) indicator will light up.
• When the sole temperature (13) reaches the
desired temperature value, the (9) indicator
will go out, you can start ironing.
• Turn the steam supply regulator (3) to set the
intensity of steaming, steam will start outgo-
ing from the openings of the sole (13).
