be released.

CHOICE OF WATER

• T o fill the water tank use regular tap
water. If the water is hard then it is rec-
ommended to mix it with distilled wa-
ter at a ratio of 1:1, if the water is very
hard, mix it with distilled water at a ra-
tio of 1:2 or use only distilled water.
Note: Do not fill the water tank
(10) with scented liquids, vinegar,
starch solutions, descaling rea-
gents, chemical substances etc.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Make sure that the iron is disconnected
from electrical power before filling it
with water.
• S et the steam release regulator (3) to
the low position of steam vapor OFF.
• O pen the water tank lid (2).
• F ill it with water. Close the lid (2).
Note:
• Do not fill it with water above MAX.
indication.
• 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 re-
maining water.

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.
• A lways check the recommended iron

temperature indicated on the tag be-
fore ironing.
• I f the tag does not list the recom-
mended ironing temperature, but
you know the type of fabric, then use
the following table to determine the
proper temperature.

(low temperature)
•• Silk/wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton/flax (high temperature)
• T his table is only for smooth materi-
als. Fabrics of other types (crimped,
raised etc.) are best ironed at low
temperature.
• F irst sort items by ironing tempera-
ture: wool with wool, cotton with cot-
ton etc.
• T he iron heats up faster than is cools
down. For this reason it is recom-
mended to begin ironing at low tem-
perature (for instance synthetic fab-
rics). After that, move to higher tem-
perature ironing. Cotton and linens
should be ironed last.
• I f an item is made from a mix of fab-
rics, 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 "•").
• I f 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 ironing tempera-
ture (always start at the lowest and
gradually raise it until you get the de-
sired result.)
