■ Before first use, remove all packaging materials including promotion stickers and
labels from the iron. Wipe the soleplate with alightly dampened cloth before first
use and then wipe dry.
■ Using adry or lightly dampened cloth, also clean the outer parts of the iron and then
wipe it dry. Never submerge the iron in water or any other liquid!
OPERATION
FILLING THE WATER TANK
■ Before filling the water tank, the iron must be disconnected from the power socket
and the steam release regulator must be set to position (steam output off).
■ The iron is intended to be filled with tap water. Limescale deposits may quickly form,
if you live in an area with hard or very hard water.To extend the lifetime of the iron, it
is recommended to mix the tap water with distilled water.The ratio of distilled water
to tap water is as follows:
– 1:1 for medium hard water
– 2:1 for hard water
– 3:1 for very hard water
Note:
Your local water utility will provide information about the water hardness
in your area.
Attention:
Never add water softeners, vinegar, starch, descaling agents,
perfumes or other additives to the water.
■ Fill the included container with water. Flip open the cap of the filling opening and
slightly tilt the iron. Slowly pour the water from the container through the filling
opening into the water tank. Make sure that the water level does not rise above the
maximum water level mark on the water tank. To correctly assess the water level, it
is necessary to stand the iron in the upright position.
■ After filling the water tank, close the filling opening lid and put the iron in the
upright position. In the event that you spilled any water while filling, thoroughly
dry the iron.
SETTING TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO TEXTILE
■ When setting the temperature, pay attention to the material composition of
the textile. It is recommended to sort the laundry according to the international
symbols shown on the textile, according to the type of textile or according to the
recommendations of the manufacturer on the label. The number of dots inside the
international symbol corresponds to the number of dots on the temperature control
knob.

TURNING ON
■ Connect the power cord to apower socket. Turn the temperature control knob to
the required temperature setting. Indicator A9 will be lit, which means that the
iron is heating up. When the iron'sthermostat reaches the correct temperature, the
heating indicator will turn off.The iron is now ready for use.
Note:
The heating indicator will spontaneously turn on and off during use. This
is completely normal.
In the event that the temperature control knob was not set to the MIN
position the after previous use of the iron, and was left at one of the
temperatures, the heating indicator will be lit immediately when the
power cord is plugged into the power socket.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAMING
■ This function enables the use of the iron with or without water in the water tank,
however, the steam release regulator must be set to position (stream output off)
Note:
When used for the first time, the iron may emit smoke, which is non-toxic.
This is normal. After ashort time, the iron will stop emitting smoke.
IRONING WITH STEAM
Attention:
In order to iron with steam, the water tank must be filled with
water.
CONTINUOUS STEAMING FUNCTION
■ If you wish to iron with steam, slide the steam release regulator from position
(steam release off) towards position (steam release on). Select the position based
on the required steam intensity. The more the steam regulator is moved to the right,
the stronger the steam intensity.
■ Wait until the heating indicator turns off.
■ The steam release regulator can be moved at any time while ironing.
■ For all standard ironing, it is recommended to use the middle settings of the steam
release regulator. Only when ironing linen fabrics, strong silk or similar fabrics is it
recommended to set the steam release regulator to maximum.
Note:
The iron continuously emits steam only if you hold it in a horizontal
position. You can stop the release of steam by standing the iron upright.
■ Setting the steam release regulator to position (steam output off), deactivates
the steam function.
STEAM IMPULSE FUNCTION
■ Use this function when ironing with continuous steam is insufficient. Press the
steam impulse button to generate astrong flow of steam, which can straighten out
even very crumpled up textiles.
■ Wait at least 3 seconds before pressing the button again. If the heating indicator
starts flashing, wait until it turns off and only then press the button.
■ The steam impulse function can also be used when ironing hanging textiles (e.g.
curtains, garments hanging on coat hangers, etc.). Use one hand to gently tension
the fabric and vertically move the iron from bottom up. Press the steam impulse
button to achieve vertical bursts of steam. Do not hold the steam impulse button
continuously and do not consecutively use it more than 10 times.

- 6 - 02/2021 Copyright © 2021, Fast ČR, a.s.
Attention:
Do not use the steam function for silk and synthetics so as not to
damage the fabric.
WATER SPRAYING FUNCTION
■ The water spraying function can be used with any ironing method. It serves to
moisten the fabric and effectively helps with ironing heavily crumpled textiles.
■ Make sure that there is asufficient amount of water in the water tank and turn the
iron so that its front side points towards the location that you wish to spray.
■ Press the water spraying button ( ). Water will spray out of the nozzle on the front
side.
Note:
When using the water spraying function for the first time or when you
have not used the iron for along time, it will be necessary to press the
water spraying button several times before the nozzle starts working
correctly.
DRIP-STOP SYSTEM
The iron is equipped with the Drip-Stop system, which automatically stops water
supply when the set temperature is insufficient for generating steam and thereby
prevents potential dripping of hot water out of the steam outlets.
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
This iron is equipped with apermanent Anti- Calc filter, which limits the formation of
limescale deposits inside the iron. This filter cannot be deactivated. The effectiveness
of the filter depends on the hardness of the water used.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FUNCTION
■ The iron will shut off automatically when left 8 minutes without movement in the
upright position, or after 30 seconds without movement in the horizontal position
or when tilted over on one of its sides.
Attention:
Despite the iron being equipped with an automatic shut-off
function, for safety reasons, never leave it without supervision
when it is connected to amains power socket.
TURNING OFF
■ When you have finished using the iron, stand it upright. Set the steam release
regulator to position (steam release off). This will deactivate the steam function.
■ Set the temperature control knob to the MIN position.
■ Disconnect the power cord from the power socket and allow the soleplate to
cool down. After the soleplate has cooled down, clean the iron according to the
instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
TIPS FOR QUALITY IRONING
■ When the drum of the washing machine is overfilled with alarge amount of laundry,
the laundry may become excessively crumpled, making it harder to iron. Try filling
the washing machine with a smaller amount of laundry or set a lower spinning
speed.
■ If you are ironing fabrics from blended materials (e.g. 40 % wool and 60 % synthetic
material), set the temperature according to the material which is ironed at alower
temperature.
■ If you do not know the composition of the fabric, identify the suitable temperature
setting by ironing apiece of the fabric from the underside. Start by setting alow
temperature and gradually increase it until the ideal temperatures is achieved.
■ Never iron over places that have sweat marks or other stains. The high temperature
fixes the stain in place, making it difficult to remove.
■ To avoid silk, wool and synthetic fabrics from being shiny after ironing, iron them
from the underside.
■ Some materials are easier to iron when they are lightly damp.
■ Spray fine fabrics before ironing them or iron them under a lightly dampened
wiping cloth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AFTER EVERY USE
■ Before cleaning it, turn the iron off according to the instructions described
previously. The iron must be disconnected from the power socket and cooled down.
Open the water tank cap and then empty out the remaining contents of the water
tank over asink. Close the cap again.
■ In the event that the soleplate or the surface of the iron is dirty, wipe with alightly
dampened cloth and then wipe dry.
■ For cleaning, do not use steel wool, solvents or cleaning products with an abrasive
effect, etc. to prevent damaging the surface being cleaned. Do not submerge the
iron in water when cleaning it.
REMOVING LIMESCALE DEPOSITS
■ For the removal of limescale deposits from the inner part of the soleplate, the iron
is equipped with aSelf-Cleaning function. Use this function regularly at least once
every 14 days.
■ Disconnect the iron from the power socket and set the steam release regulator to
position (steam release off).
■ Fill the water tank with clean water up to the maximum water level mark. Connect
the iron to a power socket and set the temperature control knob to the MAX
position. Wait until the heating indicator turns off. Then disconnect the iron from
the power supply again.
■ Hold the iron in a horizontal position above the sink. Press the Self-Clean button
A14 and hold it down. Steam and hot water will start to be released from the
soleplate. At the same time also limescale deposits from the inner parts of the
soleplate will be removed. Tilt the iron from side to side several times until the water
tank is completely emptied out. After emptying it out, release the button A14. You
may repeat this process once more if necessary.
■ Connect the iron to a power socket and allow it to heat up once more to the
maximum temperature in order to dry out the soleplate. Iron over a piece of
unneeded fabric to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate
during the cleaning process. Unplug the iron from the power socket and allow it
to cool down.
STORAGE
■ After you have finished ironing, pour out any unused water from the water tank
(careful, it may be hot), or allow it to evaporate if necessary and allow the iron to cool
down. Set the steam release regulator to position (steam release off). Wind the
power cord around the stand, making sure that the power cord is not touching the
soleplate, and then stand the iron on the stand A8.
Attention:
Keep the stored iron away from extreme temperatures, direct
sunlight and excessive humidity and do not store it in an overly
dusty environment. Do not place anything on to the stored iron.
