OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any protective films or stickers from the soleplate and the Iron’s body. Wipe the
soleplate with a dry soft cloth. Unwind and straighten the power cord. Fill the iron as
described in the section “How to Fill the Water Tank”. Connect the appliance to a
suitable mains power supply outlet. Turn the Temperature Dial to the MAX position; the
pilot light will glow to indicate that the iron is heating up. Once the pilot light goes off, then
the required temperature is reached. The iron is now ready for proper use.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR IRONING
1. Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the
frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments.
2. Start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature and progress to the higher
ones because the iron heats up quicker than it cools down.
3. “Test iron” a small area on the backside or inside of the garment if you are unsure
about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.

4. Wait for about three (3) minutes before ironing heat sensitive fabrics. ‘Temperature
adjustment’ will need a certain time to reach the required level no matter if it is
higher or lower.
5. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing cloth
to prevent shine marks.
6. Always keep the soleplate smooth –avoid contact with sharp, hard, metal objects.
