Ironing

After preparing all the necessary for the ironing, unroll the power cable and check that it is free from knots or tangles.
Check if the water tank is full; if you want to use steam, you should fill the tank with water (see the specific pa-ragraph).
Turn the thermostat to the position “MIN”.
Fill the water tank with sufficient quantity.
Place the iron vertically, paying attention that the soleplate will not come in contact with objects or anything else. Insert the plug into the socket.
Set the thermostat to the desired temperature, referring to the symbols printed on the thermostat.
At this point, you can start ironing.

Steam ironing

To let the steam to escape, check that the steam control is in the position “Max”.
When using the iron for the first time, press several times on the steam shot button, so that the impurities that during the construction of the iron deposited inside the holes will be eliminate.
Steam ironing is possible by adjusting the thermostat to the position marked by the symbol (•); increasing the temperature also increases the jet of steam, up to the maximum marked by the symbol (•••).
The working indicator light turns on and when the soleplate will reach the temperature (temperature that allows the steam to escape) it switch off.
Press the steam shot button and the steam will come out.
Set the thermostat to at least the (•••) position.
Respect a 5 seconds interval between one shot of steam and another.
If the steam shot button will be pressed before reaching the set temperature, the water will not come out vaporized but will drip from the plate; this can cause ironing spots on the garment.
Water dripping can also be caused by the prolonged pressure of the steam jet button. (More than 5 seconds)
At the end of the operation, place the iron in vertical position and disconnect the plug from the socket.
The iron must be constantly on movement on the fabric to be ironed.

Warning : if the water in the tank runs out during use, wait until the iron has cooled down before filling it again.
Warning : always direct the steam jet in the direction of the garment to iron, never towards the face. After ironing, always empty the tank of the remaining water, after having unplugged the plug from the electrical socket.

Dry ironing

Position the steam control on the position “0”, in order to prevent the escape of steam. Adjust the soleplate tem-perature by turning the thermostat.
The working indicator light turns on and when the soleplate is at temperature it turns off.
Start ironing after the iron has reached the desired temperature.
Note that in this case, the plate reaches lower temperature values, compared to steam ironing.
At the end of the operation, place the iron in vertical position and disconnect the plug from the socket.
The iron must be constantly on movement on the fabric to be ironed.

Setting the temperature

Always check the label with the ironing instructions on the article to be ironed and follow them. Turn the thermostat knob to set the desired temperature, following the legend below. beper P204FER003 Steam Iron fig

The number of dots in the thermostat indicates the temperature from the lowest (-) to the highest (•••). The table is valid for fabrics and not for finishes such as shiny or relief of the fold which must be ironed backwards. Before using the iron, always make sure that the temperature of the iron is correct with the type of fabric: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
The iron is quick to heat up and slow to cool down; so start ironing clothes that require low temperatures (such as synthetic fabrics) and go in progression with higher and higher temperatures.
When the item to be ironed is made up of several fabrics, adjust the temperature for the most delicate fabric. If you do not know the type of fabric to be ironed, it is recommended to iron a part of it, normally not visible when the garment is worn, starting from the minimum temperature, and then finding the most suitable temperature. It can happen that the garment becomes shining, in this case you need to finish ironing so as not to ruin it and iron the fabric from the reverse side.

Water spray

After checking that there is water in the tank, turn the spray nozzle towards the item to be ironed. Then press the water spray button.
When using the iron for the first time, it is advisable to press the water spray button a few times before obtaining a suitable spray, since the water must be able to fill the circulation pipes before it comes out.
Attention: don’t use the water spray with silk.

Steam shot

The steam shot is used to remove the most stubborn creases.
Set the thermostat knob to the position “••” or “•••”.
Set the steam setting button to the maximum position.
Press the steam shot button.
Note : to avoid water leaking from the plate, do not hold the steam shot button for more than 5 seconds.
Fill in and empty the tank
This operation must always be done with the plug disconnected from the socket.
Always dry the body of the iron from any drops and your hands before reconnecting the plug to the socket. Make sure that the thermostat and the steam control are the minimum position.
Lift the tank lid and slowly fill the tank using a small glass or funnel.
Do not exceed the maximum level of the tank indicated on the tank itself.
Be careful not to let water penetrate the cracks in the iron, there is a risk of short circuits and/or electric shock. At the end of the filling, close the tank lid and connect the plug to the electric socket.
Note : The iron is designed to use tap water, however, if the water is very hard, it is advisable to use a mixture of distilled water and tap water.

It is suggested to empty the water tank after each use, in order to avoid the formation of limescale, mold and bad smells. It is recommended to let the iron cool down for a few minutes before emptying the tank.
To empty the tank, turn the iron upside down on a sink (or similar) and drain all the water still left in the tank. Otherwise, place the iron in vertical position and reconnect the plug to the electricity. Place the thermostat and the steam control on “MAX” and allow the residual water to evaporate in the tank for a few minutes, by pressing the steam jet button.

Self clean (auto-cleaning)

Fill the water tank to maximum level.
Set the thermostat knob to the maximum position.
Insert the power cord into the wall socket.
Let the iron warm up until the light switches off.
Holding the iron in a horizontal position above the sink, place the steam selector in the maximum position, press the “Self Clean” button.
The boiling water, the steam and the impurities will be expelled from the holes in the plate.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Wait until the iron is cold before storing it.

Anti-calc system

A special resin filter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents limescale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not require replacement.
Note: Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or descaling agents. Failure to comply with the above mentioned regulations will make a loss of the warranty.

Anti-drop system

With the anti-drop system, even the most delicate fabrics can be ironed perfectly and it is recommended to always iron at low temperatures.
The plate can cool down to the point where no more steam will come out, but drops of boiling water may come out and may leave marks or stains. In this case, the anti-drip system is activated automatically to prevent vapo- rization, so you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risking to damage or stain them.

Cleaning of the iron

Unplug the appliance from the socket.
Remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
To remove scale or starch from the soleplate, use a damp cloth.
Always dry the soleplate after each cleaning.
Clean the body of the iron with a damp cloth without detergents.
Do not use metallic sponge or abrasive detergents.

Storage

Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet, empty the water tank (do this after each use) and let the iron cool down completely.
Wind the cord around the base.
To protect the soleplate, place the iron in vertical position.
