REFILLING THE WATER
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Turn the steam quantity button (3) to
position 0.
• Open the cover (2) on the nozzle for
water refilling and carefully fill with
tap water until the water level has
reached the MAX mark on the side
of the appliance. Never fill past this
mark. The appliance can hold 160 ml
of water.
• Never use chemically distilled water
or perfumed water. Close the cover.
• Always pour the excess water away
after use.
ADJUSTING THE
TEMPERATURE
• Read any ironing instructions on the
garment. As a rule, there will be a
pictogram of an iron and a number of
dots. These dots indicate the set-
ting that should be selected on the
appliance’s thermostat dial (9). See
table below.

• If there are no ironing instructions
on the garment, but you know what
fabric it is made of, the table can be
used. The table only applies to the
relevant material and is for guidance
only.
• Garments with printed and sewn-on
features are best ironed on the re-
verse of the material at low tempera-
ture.
• For fabrics made of several different
materials, you should always adjust
the temperature to suit the material
that can tolerate the least heat. If, for
instance, a product consists of 60%
polyester and 40% cotton, adjust the
temperature of the appliance for iron-
ing polyester.
• Sort the items to be ironed according
to the temperature at which they are
to be ironed.
• The appliance will get hot quicker
than it cools down. Therefore always
start with garments to be ironed at the
lowest temperature.
USE
Insert the plug (6) into an electrical socket
and place the appliance upright on its
base (7) on the ironing board.
Dry ironing
• The appliance can be used for dry
ironing, even if there is water in the
water reservoir.
• Turn the steam adjustment button (3)
to position 0.
• Turn the thermostat button (9) to the
required setting. The indicator light (8)
will come on.
• Once the indicator light goes out,
the required temperature has been
reached and you can start to dry iron.
The indicator light will go on and off
during use, which merely indicates
that it is maintaining the selected
temperature.
• Do not fill the appliance with water
if it is to be used as a dry iron for a
prolonged period.
