4 • Filling the water tank
IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam
control to dry position .
Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark
(fig.7). Close the filling inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to the horizontal position.
5 • Setting the temperature
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature
control dial (fig.3).
Temperature control*: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate
is heating up. When the temperature control light goes off (fig.9), the set tempe-
rature is reached and you can begin ironing.
Electronic temperature control*: The traffic lights tell you whether the soleplate
has reached the selected temperature (fig.10).
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We re-
commend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature.
For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.
TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
6 • Dry ironing
Set the variable steam control to (fig.11) and set the temperature to suit the
type of material (care points •, ••, •••).
