Ironing without steaming

Plug the power cord 

M

 to electric socket. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7). Turn the 

steaming regulator 

D

 to the 

“

”

 position, steaming off (fig. 5) or pour out water from the 

container 

I

. Set the temperature using regulation wheel 

H

 according to the selected fabric 

material (Fig. 2). Reaching the required temperature is shown by turning the indicator lamp 

G

 OFF.

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.

–  

To set the temperatures, you just need to turn the thermostat regulation wheel (to the right 

/ left) within the given range. Forcible rotation could lead to damaging the regulation wheel.

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 

“

”

 position, 

steaming off (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 (

/

). Plug the 

power cord 

M

 to a socket. After the indicator light 

G

 goes out, switch the regulator 

D

 to the 

right (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 •••. 

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

medium

2 : 1

hard 

1 : 1

very hard 

1 : 2

29 / 39
