INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The ironing plate has the Eloxium layer that ensures extreme hardness of the coating, it is resistant to scratching and it keeps its excellent gliding property permanently. The iron enables both dry ironing and steam ironing. According to the type it is equipped with elements increasing comfort of use – intensive/vertical steaming, sprinkling device, safety electronics and systems DRIP STOP, SELF CLEAN, ANTI CALC. The handle of the iron is closed and it is adapted for ironing with the right and the left hand. At the back side the handle forms a support that enables putting it in the rest position. Handling while ironing is easier thanks to a swing-out power cable terminal. The control light signals automatic switching on and off by the thermostat which keeps the set temperature. Regulation of the ironing plate temperature takes place in pre set steps.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Remove all the packing material and take out the iron with the accessories. Remove any labels, protective foils or covers from the ironing plate before the first use.

Ironing temperatures
– Sort laundry and iron according to the instructions for treatment (e.g. manufacturer‘s recommendation
– the label on clothes). If the instruction is missing and you know the material of the clothes, follow the table on picture 3. The table applies to basic materials only, not to possible decorations, material treatment,
– Start to iron from the lowest temperatures to higher temperatures. If clothes consist of e.g. two and more materials or if they contain stringing, purls, embossing, stretch material, etc. , always iron according to the material requiring the lower temperature only. If you do not know the material, find the suitable place that is not visible when wearing and try suitable temperature for ironing at the place.
– When ironing woolen fabrics, we recommend ironing on the back side of the fabric and you can iron virgin wool through additional cloth. Velvet and similar fabrics can be ironed in one direction ( you will prevent creation of glossy areas ).
– Steam ironing is not suitable for fabrics from synthetic and silk fibers (e.g. acrylon, nylon, polyamide or polyester ).
– We recommend using soft textile permeable base materials for steam
– Make sure that the ironed fabric is tensed up properly so that steam does not leak to the sides.
– For the ironing plate to remain smooth, protect it from direct contact with sharp metal objects (e.g. zip fasteners, buttons, snap buttons, decorative objects ).

Ironing without steaming
Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7). Turn the steaming regulator D to the 0 position, steaming off (Fig. 5) or pour out water from the container I. Set the level against the mark on the container on the regulation wheel H according to the selected fabric (Fig. 2). Plug the power cord M to a socket. When the control light G goes out, the proper temperature has been reached.

Warning
The regulation wheel H (Fig. 2) is marked with international symbols that recommend the optimum ironing temperature and they are the same as marking on some types of laundry and textiles (Fig. 3). When the temperature is increased from the cold state or if the temperature is set from higher to lower, we recommend waiting for a while for stabilization of the ironing plate temperature.

Steam ironing
Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator D to the position 0 (Fig. 2) and slide the cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to the container I with the enclosed cup N (Fig. 4) and close the filling hole lid in the opposite direction. Keep the position of the iron for pouring in water. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2 –  ). Plug the power cord M to a socket. When the control light G goes off, move the steaming regulator D away from handle. The more you move the regulator towards MAX , the bigger amount of outgoing steam there will be (Fig. 5). Place the iron to the rest position, automatic creation of steam will stop (more steam may be going out for a short time).

Warning
– Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the SELF CLEAN
– When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit ( 300 ml ), steam can be created even in the rest position.
– At places with hard water we recommend diluting it with distilled water. You will get the information about water hardness at the water-management authorities, or at the local sanitary station. For water hardness > 15 °N we recommend filling the iron in the following ratio:

Water hardness

|

Ratio of tap water : distilled water

---|---

medium

|

2 : 1

hard

1 : 2

Sprinkling appliance (additional spray)
It is used for moistening fabrics and it is effective in ironing extremely creased fabrics.
It is activated by repeated pressing of additional spray button E. We do not recommend applying additional spray for fine fabrics (e.g. silk and synthetic ) as the used water may stain the fabric.

Intensive steaming (steam shock)
Use only if the steam ironing is insufficient. In this case press intensive steaming button F several times (Fig. 6A -). Thus you will get additional steam except for the  steam created by standard steaming.

Warning
When you press intensive steaming button F several times, water may drip from the ironing plate due to excess water in the steam chamber. Do not consider this as faulty operation.

VERTICAL SYSTEM

It is intensive vertical steaming for steaming freely hanging textiles. Set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2). Stretch the fabric slightly with one hand and move the iron vertically bottom-up (Fig. 6B – ). Press the intensive steaming button F so that you reach vertical steam hammer. Do not hold the intensive steaming button pressed continuously and do not use it more than 10 times consecutively.

DRIP STOP
The appliance prevents leaking water from the ironing plate when its temperature is insufficient.

Safety electronics (AUTO STOP – applies for type ETA 2283 and ETA 6283/10)
The safety electronics ensure switching off heating of the ironing plate within 30 seconds when the iron is left without moving in the horizontal position and in the case of tilting of the iron on the side or within 10 minutes when it is left in the vertical position. The function of safety electronics is signaled by control light flashing and by sound signal. The iron is switched on automatically when ironing is continued.

Self-cleaning system (SELF CLEAN)
Hold the iron disconnected from power supply in your hand, turn steaming regulator D to 0 position (Fig. 5) and lift off cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour water into container I using the enclosed cup N to fill half of it and close the filling hole lid (Fig. 4) by snapping it. Keep the position of the iron for pouring water in it. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the maximum position.Plug power cord M into a socket. When the control light G switch off, disconnect the iron from the electric power. Hold the iron in the horizontal position over a sink. Press the SELF CLEAN button repeatedly (two to three times), each time for about 5 seconds. Then wait till water stops going out from the ironing plate. If the iron still contains a lot of impurities, repeat the procedure while pushing the intensive steaming button between individual pushing of the SELF-CLEAN button.
After completing the cleaning, plug the iron into the electric power, set the selected program and then iron a clean piece of cotton cloth so that the ironing plate is cleaned.

Storage
After finishing ironing, pour out the unused water from the container ( be careful, it can be hot ), or let the rest of the water evaporate and let the iron cool down. Then turn regulator D to 0 position (steam switched off). Wind power cord M over the back side of cover L and put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 8) out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.

MAINTENANCE

Before every maintenance, unplug the iron from power supply by taking the fork of the power cord out of the socket! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, peelers, pot scourers, caustic agents for cleaning or other solvents). Wipe the entire iron with a wet cloth in the cooled state and dry up. If brown film is created on the ironing plate (e.g. when ironing starched laundry), you can remove the film by a detergent containing fine sand.
The iron ETA 1283, ETA 2283, ETA 3283 and ETA 6283 is equipped with a permanent decalcification system ANTI CALC that does not require maintenance. But the system cannot prevent creation of calcareous sediments.
