OPERATION
Water filling
Make sure that the iron is unplugged and that the temperature/thermostat knob
is in the MIN position. Place the iron on a stand, tilt it forward at an angle
of approximately 45 degrees and pour water through the filler opening into the
MAX position of the water tank.
Vertical steaming
The “steam burst” can also be applied when the iron is held vertically, which
is useful for removing wrinkles from hanging clothes, curtains, etc.
Dry ironing
- Place the steam switch in the O position (that is, no steam.)
- According to the care label of the different garments, set the correct ironing temperature to start ironing.
Steam ironing
- Fill the iron with water according to the water filling methods.
- Plug the appliance into the main socket.
- Set the temperature/thermostat selector to MAX position according to the temperature/thermostat knob for steam ironing, otherwise water may come out of the soleplate.
- When the indicator light goes out, it means that the right temperature for ironing has been reached.
- Set the steam switch correctly. To increase the steam, turn the switch counterclockwise and to decrease the steam turn the switch clockwise.
Steam burst
This function is suitable for difficult creases and thick fabrics. When you
press the “Steam Burst” button, the soleplate emits an intense burst of steam,
which is very useful for removing stubborn creases. The steam function can
only be used when ironing at a high ironing temperature. For optimal results,
there should be a 5 second rest period between pressing the steam button. To
avoid water leakage through the soleplate, do not press the steam button
continuously for more than 5 seconds. In addition, you should allow an
interval of at least one minute before using the steam burst function.
Spraying methods
By pressing the spraying button, a couple of times, garments can be dampened
at any temperature. Make sure there’s enough water in the tank.
IMPORTANT
Self-cleaning
- Use the self-cleaning function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very chalky (i.e. if flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), you should use the self- cleaning function more frequently.) Make sure the iron is unplugged, turn the steam switch to the “O” position and fill the water tank to the MAX position.
- Do not put vinegar or other liquid solutions in the water tank.
- Select the maximum ironing temperature and plug the appliance into the mains socket. Unplug the iron when the power indicator light has gone out, rest the iron on a base and press and hold the self-cleaning button while moving the iron back and forth.
- Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate of the iron, then any impurities (if any) will be expelled.
- Release the self-cleaning button as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up.
- Repeat the self-cleaning process if the iron still contains many impurities.
- After the self-cleaning process, plug the iron into the socket and allow it to heat up so that the soleplate dries.
- Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
- After this, gently move the iron over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate and allow the iron to cool down before storing it.
Anti-drip
- The anti-drip system is designed to automatically prevent water from escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold.
- During the use of the iron, the anti-drip system may emit a loud clicking noise, especially during heating or cooling. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is working properly.
Built-in anti-scale system
The anti-limescale cartridge is designed to reduce limescale build-up that
occurs during steam ironing. This will extend the life of your iron. However,
please note that the anti-scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural
limescale build-up process. Type of fabric and position of the
temperature/thermostat knob.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the iron, unplug it from the socket and allow it to cool down sufficiently.
- Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
- If the fibre is stuck to the soleplate, use a cloth dampened with vinegar to clean the plate.
- Never use strong acids to avoid damaging the soleplate.
- If limescale blocks the steam hole, remove it with a toothpick. Do not damage the surface of the soleplate.
- Place the iron on its end, allow it to cool down sufficiently and, in the meantime, pour out the excess water from the box and set the steam switch to the “O” position.
