How to use your Steam Iron
When using your iron for the first time, remove any stickers or protective foil from
soleplate. Test the iron on any piece of old fabric to ensure the soleplate and water tank
are clean.
Filling with water (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Unplug the iron first!
Choice of water
This iron can be filled with normal tap water although it is recommended that bottled
spring water be used. DO NOT USE DISTILLED WATER.
1.
Set the steam control to off position.
2.
Open the water filling inlet cover (Fig.1).
3.
Hold the iron at 10°, and fill in water through the water filling inlet.
4.
Use only tap water. However, if the water is very hard, it is advisable to use bottled
spring water. Other liquids will damage the appliance. NEVER fill above the “Max”
mark, otherwise the tank will overflow!
5.
Make sure that you have securely closed the water filling inlet cover. When ironing is
complete please empty the water tank.
WARNING: Never fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starch or other solutions,
as they will damage the iron.
Setting the temperature for the first time
a)
Fill the water tank with tap water or bottled spring water.
b)

c)
Turn the temperature dial in a clockwise direction to the MAX position. The
temperature indicator light will illuminate.
d)
The indicator light will go off once the pre-set temperature is reached.
e)
Move the variable steam control dial to the
position and steam will start to
come out of the holes in the soleplate.
f)
Iron onto the old piece of fabric to test heat.
g)
When the water tank is empty and no more steam is being produced, the iron is
ready for normal use.
