Thank you for choosing an Electrolux product. In order to ensure the best results, always use original Electrolux accessories and spare parts. They have been designed especially for your product. This product is designed with the environment in mind. All plastic parts are marked for recycling purposes. It may be possible that your steam iron does not produce steam immediately after filling it with water. The reason for this is that air trapped in the inner system can delay this function a few seconds. Please be patient and try it again by pressing the steam on/off button. For your convenience the steam will be produced after you release the steam on/off button for a few seconds and it is not necessary to press the button all the time. Find out your rhythm for the best steaming result.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

GETTING STARTED AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before first use. Remove all adhesive remains and gently rub with a dampened cloth. Rinse water tank to remove foreign particles. Position the steam iron horizontally on the ironing-board or on a heat resistant, secure surface at the same height as an ironing-board. Unwind and straighten the power cord.

2. Fill the steam iron with water. Make sure, the plug is outside the power outlet. Raise the heel of the iron, the filling aperture cover (P). Use the water filling container provided (F), pour water to maximum level (M). Close the cover (P). This product is appropriate for use with tap water. It is recommended to use Electrolux AquaSense filtered water resp. a mix of 50% distilled, 50% tap water if the tap water is particularly hard.
   Always refill the water tank to MAX level using cold water.
   Caution! Never operate the appliance without any water in the tank. This product is equipped with a detachable Soft Water Activator (L), we recommend to replace the Soft Water Activator every 3 months. Before starting ironing, please test your iron on an old towel to ensure that no residues inside the iron are transferred to your garments. If necessary, wipe the soleplate with a slightly damp cloth.

3. Connect the steam iron to the mains supply. Select the ironing programme from the temperature selector (E) on the steam iron. The light indicator (C) on the iron will pulsate when preheating. When turned on for the first time, temporary vapours/odours may occur. The iron is equipped with an auto-steam function, which automati-cally adjusts the steam output to the selected ironing programme supporting best ironing results.

4. As soon as the selected temperature has been reached, the lights indicator (C) is on permanently and the head-light (D) turns on. Now the iron is ready to be used.

5. To activate the steam function, press and hold the steam on/off button (I). To stop the steam function, release the steam on/off button.

6. To use the continuous steam function, slide the steam button lock (R). To stop the continuous steam function, slide the steam button lock.

7. For extra steam, press the steam jet button for one second.
   Iron with extra steam: Press the steam buttons the same time for improved crease removal. When releasing the buttons, use up the steam before putting the iron back on its heel.
   Caution! Never release steam while the iron is standing on its heel.
   Dry ironing: When not pressing steam buttons, the iron will be in dry mode.

8. Using the spray mist. Pre-damp fabrics by pressing the spray button several times to release a fine mist; ensure the tank is at least half full.

9. Steam hanging items. The vertical steam function is ideal for curtains and suits. Hold the iron at a distance of 10-20 cm and press the steam jet button.

10. The iron is equipped with a 3-way auto-off function. If the iron is left unattended on soleplate or the side, it au- tomatically turns off after 30 seconds. If left unattended on the heel it automatically turns off after 8 minutes. To turn it on again, move the iron. A short beep can be heard before the iron is switched off by itself. To reactivate the iron, move it shortly and it is back to working mode.

11. To switch-off the steam iron, turn the temperature selector to position 0, a short beep can be heard and all lights will turn off. Disconnect the mains plug. Never pull the supply cord. Instead, grasp the plug and pull. Empty the water tank and let the iron cool completely before storage.

12. Always store the iron on its heel with the cord twisted loosley around the cable wrap facility. To clean exterior surfaces, use damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as they may damage the surface.

CLEANING (DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENT)

13. Flush Clean (K). Fill the tank with water to max level (M) and select “Linen” programme. When headlight flashes, unplug the iron. Hold the iron over a sink, press the Flush Clean button (K). Use a full tank of water. Release button to stop Flush Clean function. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
    NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY DESCALING FLUID, VINEGAR OR CITRUS ACID!

14. Soft Water Activator (L) is recommended right after Flush Clean. Open water filling cover (P) and pull the Soft Water Activator (L) out for disposal. Replace with new Water Softener System Electrolux EDC03/900923064. Both Flush Clean & Water Softener System in combination ensure a clean, soft steam for best ironing results and longer lifetime of your steam iron.

15. Cleaning the soleplate (O). To remove burnt residues, iron over a damp cloth while the iron is still hot. To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid contact with metal objects. Never use scouring pads or harsh cleaners as they may damage the surface.

HOT SOLEPLATE INDICATOR (A)

16. Your appliance is equipped with hot soleplate indicator ThermoSafe™ which detects when the soleplate is hot by changing its colour from black to red.
    Note! During heat-up time, the soleplate might be hot even though the sticker didn’t turn red. Once the temper-ature of the soleplate is < 40°C, the colour changes back to black showing the iron is ready to be stored away.
