INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The ironing plate has the Eloxium layer that ensures extreme hardness of the coating,
it is resistant to scratching and it keeps its excellent gliding property permanently. The
iron enables both dry ironing and steam ironing. According to the type it is equipped with
elements increasing comfort of use – intensive/vertical steaming, sprinkling device, safety
electronics and systems DRIP STOP, SELF CLEAN, ANTI CALC. The handle of the iron
is closed and it is adapted for ironing with the right and the left hand. At the back side the
handle forms a support that enables putting it in the rest position. Handling while ironing is
easier thanks to a swing-out power cable terminal. The electronics automatically switch the
heating element on and off during ironing that maintains the set temperature. Regulation of
the ironing plate temperature takes place in pre-set steps.

III.INSTRUCTIONSFORUSE
Remove all the packing material and take out the iron with the accessories. Remove any
labels, protective foils or covers from the ironing plate before the first use.
Ironingtemperatures
- Sort laundry and iron according to the instructions for treatment (e.g. manufacturer‘s
recommendation-thelabelonclothes). If the instruction is missing and you know the
material of the clothes, follow the table on picture 3. The table applies to basic materials
only, not to possible decorations, material treatment, etc.
- Start to iron from the lowest temperatures to higher temperatures. If clothes consist of
e.g. twoandmorematerialsoriftheycontainstringing,purls,embossing,stretch
material,etc., always iron according to the material requiring the lower temperature only.
If you do not know the material, find the suitable place that is not visible when wearing
and try suitable temperature for ironing at the place.
- When ironing woolen fabrics, we recommend ironing on the back side of the fabric and
you can iron virgin wool through additional cloth. Velvet and similar fabrics can be ironed
in one direction (youwillpreventcreationofglossyareas).
- Steam ironing is not suitable for fabrics from synthetic and silk fibers (e.g. acrylon,
nylon,polyamideorpolyester).
24
GB
- We recommend using soft textile permeable base materials for steam ironing.
- Make sure that the ironed fabric is tensed up properly so that steam does not leak to the
sides.
- For the ironing plate to remain smooth, protect it from direct contact with sharp metal
objects (e.g. zipfasteners,buttons,snapbuttons,decorativeobjects).
Control
- Plug the power cord M to a socket. You will see the ETA sign on the display, then the iron
is switched automatically to the stand-by regime and the STAND-BY sign is shown on the
display.
- Set the selected program (i.e. the fabric material) using the control.
By pressing the control at the place marked with the
+ symbol you increase the
temperature and by pressing the control at the place marked with the
- symbol you
reduce the temperature.
- The respective information is shown gradually on the display using signs and symbols
(fig. 9).
- Increasing (
) or reducing ( ) the temperature is signaled by a flashing symbol.
- Reaching the proper temperature is signaled by the TEMP.OK sign and a sound signal.
Soundsignaling
- Every pushing of the control in requirement for setting the fabric material beyond the
allowed pre-set range = „1 very short beep“.
Note: when setting the STAND-BY program, every other pushing of the - control is
without any effect, when setting the PWRJEANS program, every other pushing of
the + control is without any effect.
- Every pushing of the control (i.e. change of the program) = „1 short beep“.
- Reaching the temperature of the set program = „1 long beep“.
- Activation of the safety function AUTO-STOP = „permanent beeping“.
Ironingwithoutsteaming
Put the iron to the rest position (fig. 7). Turn the steaming regulator D to the 0 position,
steaming off (fig. 5) or pour out water from the container I. Plug the power cord M to
a socket. Set the program on the display using control H according to the selected
fabric material (Fig. 2). Reaching the required temperature is shown on the display and
announced by sound signaling.
Warning
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 signaling) due to stabilization of the ironing
plate temperature.

GB
Steamironing
Hold the iron disconnected from power supply in your hand, turn steaming regulator D
to 0 position (Fig. 5) and lift off cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to
container I using the enclosed cup N (Fig. 4) and close the filling hole lid in the opposite
direction. Keepthepositionoftheironforpouringinwater. Plug power cord M to
a socket. Put the iron into the rest position (Fig. 7) and using control H set one of the
programs enabling steaming on the display (i.e. WOOL, COTTON, MAX or PWR JEANS).
When you hear a sound signal (indicating reached selected temperature), move regulator
D towards the handle. The more you move the regulator towards MAX, the bigger amount
of outgoing steam there will be (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
- Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the SELF CLEAN button.
- When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit (max.300ml), 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:
Waterhardness Ratiooftapwater:distilledwater
medium 2 : 1
hard 1 : 1
very hard 1 : 2
Sprinklingappliance(additionalspray)
It is used for moistening fabrics and it is effective in ironing extremely creased fabrics.
It is activated by repeated pressing of additional spray button E. We do not recommend
applying additional spray for fine fabrics (e.g. silkandsynthetic) as the used water may
stain the fabric.
Intensivesteaming(steamshock)
Use only if the steam ironing is insufficient. In this case press intensive steaming button
F several times (Fig. 6A
). Thus you will get additional steam except for the steam
created by standard steaming.
Warning
When you press intensive steaming button F several times, water may drip from the ironing
plate due to excess water in the steam chamber. Do not consider this as faulty operation.
VERTICALsystem
It is intensive vertical steaming for steaming freely hanging textiles (e.g. hanging clothes,
curtains, drapes). Using control H set one of the programs for steaming on the display
(i.e. WOOL, COTTON, MAX or PWR JEANS). When you hear the sound signal, stretch the
fabric slightly with one hand and move the iron vertically bottom-up (Fig. 6B
), at the
same time push intensive steaming button F to achieve vertical steam surge. Do not hold
the intensive steaming button pressed continuously and do not use it more than 10times
consecutively.
26
GB
CAUTION
- Use the VERTICAL function only if the programs COTTON, MAX or PWR JEANS are set.
- Do not iron clothes that you or other people are wearing!
- Never direct steam flow to persons or animals!
DRIPSTOP
The appliance prevents leaking water from the ironing plate when its temperature is
insufficient.
Safetyelectronics(AUTOSTOP)
The safety electronics ensure switching off heating of the ironing plate within 30 seconds
when the iron is left without moving in the horizontal position and in the case of tilting of the
iron on the side or within 10 minutes when it is left in the vertical position. The function of
safety electronics is signaled by display flashing and by sound signal. The iron is switched
on automatically when ironing is continued.
Self-cleaningsystem(SELFCLEAN)
Hold the iron disconnected from power supply in your hand, turn steaming regulator D
to 0 position (Fig. 5) and lift off cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour water into
container I using the enclosed cup N to fill half of it and close the filling hole lid (Fig. 4) by
snapping it. Keepthepositionoftheironforpouringwaterinit. Plug power cord M
into a socket. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the PWR JEANS program
on the display by control H. When you hear the sound signal (indicating reached selected
temperature), disconnect the iron from the electric power. Hold the iron in the horizontal
position over a sink. Press the SELF CLEAN button repeatedly (two to three times), each
time for about 5 seconds. Then wait till water stops going out from the ironing plate. If
the iron still contains a lot of impurities, repeat the procedure while pushing the intensive
steaming button between individual pushing of the SELF-CLEAN button.
After completing the cleaning, plug the iron into the electric power, set the selected
program and then iron a clean piece of cotton cloth so that the ironing plate is cleaned.
CleantheironingplateusingtheSELFCLEANfunctionregularly (about once
a month).
Storage
After finishing ironing, pour out the unused water from the container (becareful,itcanbe
hot), or let the rest of the water evaporate and let the iron cool down. Then turn regulator
D to 0 position (steam switched off). Wind power cord M over the back side of cover L and
put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 8) out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
