OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not leave the unit unattended if it is connected to the power source.
Remove all the stickers and packaging from the ironing surface before the first use.
Before the first ironing, try the unit on a piece of old fabric to make sure the ironing surface and water tank are perfectly clean.
The unit may emit a slight odor during the first use. This smell will vanish after a short time.

Filling with water

Unplug the unit from the power source.
Set the temperature controller to the minimum.
Open the filling hole cover (Fig. 1)and fill the tank with water. Use only distilled or boiled water. Don‘t fill the tank with a liquid other than water. Do not put any additions in the water. There is a risk of damage to the unit. The capacity of the tank is about 350 ml. Do not exceed the maximum marked water level.
Close the filling hole cover.

Spraying
Push the spray button; water is released through the spray nozzle. You will need a sufficient volume of water in the tank to activate this function.

Steam ironing

For steam, ironing set the steam volume regulator to the minimum, and the temperature controller according to the material „…“, „…“ or „MAX“
After the heating indicator goes off, set the steam volume regulator to the required position, the steam will start to release, and you may begin ironing.

Steam shock
Turn the temperature controller to the position „…“ or „ M A X “, and push the steam button – the ironing surface will emit steam. Wait for a couple of seconds before
the next push.
You may use this function for ironing in a vertical position to smoothen folds on hanging clothes or curtains. Hold the unit several centimeters from the fabric to prevent damage to soft materials.
Never iron any clothing on the body!

Ironing

If you want to use the spray or steam function, fill the tank with water (see Filling with Water).
Set the temperature controller to the minimum.
Insert the plug into the main outlet.
Set the temperature controller to the value that corresponds to the material to be ironed (according to the international textile codes). The heating indicator will be illuminated.
Note: Iron fabrics that require a lower temperature first, then those at higher temperatures. Most fabrics are marked according to international codes – see the table below. Note:
The symbol on the tag means: “This fabric must not be ironed!”

Tag with ironing info| Fabric type| Temperature setting| Steam setting
| Synthetic
Polypropylene
Polyurethane

Linen
Wait until the heating indicator stops shining. Only then has the ironing surface reached the right temperature. The ironing surface will be heated during ironing. The heating indicator will turn on and off.
After use, set the temperature controller to the minimum, unplug the unit from the power source, and let it cool down. Then pour the remaining water out of the tank.

Anti-dripping function (ANTI-DRIP)
This unit is equipped with a function that prevents water from dripping, i.e. it will automatically stop steaming if the temperature is too low and water could be dripping from the ironing surface.
Limescale sedimentation preventive function (ANTI-CALC)
This function is based on the filtration of materials from the water used. It softens the used water, which reduces the sedimentation of limescale in the steam chamber.
Self-clean function
This function allows cleaning small sediments from the steam chamber. Use it once every two weeks.

Fill the tank with water (see Filling with Water).
Insert the plug into the main outlet.
Set the temperature control to the maximum.
Wait until the heating indicator light stops shining.
Hold the unit horizontally over a sink or wide water vessel.
Push and hold the Self-clean button. Water will pour from the steam holes in the ironing surface, which will rinse out small sediments from the steam chamber.

Automatic SHUT OFF function – available on model ZN 8009 only
This safety feature allows automatic shut-off if the unit is left on a horizontal ironing surface for 30 seconds without moving, or for 8 minutes in the vertical position without moving.
In these cases the unit will shut off automatically, a short beep will be heard, and the automatic shut-off indicator will start blinking.
Note: This function is just a safety measure. For normal use, set the temperature controller to the minimum, and unplug the unit from the power source.

STORAGE

Keep the cooling unit in a vertical and stable position in a safe and dry place, out of the reach of children.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The quality warranty term is 24 months from product takeover by the customer.
The warranty does not apply to wear and tear caused by regular use. The customer shall not be entitled to any warranty claims if, prior to taking the product over, they knew the product contained a defect or if the defect is attributable to the customer.

Filing a complaint
A complaint against a product defect must be ﬁ led as soon as identiﬁ ed, yet no later than before the end of the warranty term. The customer must ﬁ le a product compliant with the dealer from which they have purchased the product, or with any authorized service center, a list of which is included in the product package, or available at
www.my-concept.com.

While ﬁling a product complaint, the product must be duly cleaned and securely packed so as to prevent any damage during its transport to an authorized service center, where relevant, unless the product is delivered in person.
The customer must submit proof of having concluded a purchase contract for the product by producing the receipt.
While ﬁ ling their complaint, the customer must indicate the noted defect and identify the preferred complaint application method.

Complaints processing
As long as the noted defect may be removed, the user has the right to have the defect duly removed free of charge on a timely basis.
Where such a procedure is not reasonable with regard to the nature of the defect, the user may require to be supplied a new defect-free product (replacement), or, where the defect applies to a part of the product only, replacement of the part concerned. However, if replacement of the product or any part thereof is not proportionate with regard to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the customer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.
If the noted defect is not removable, or if the customer becomes entitled to the replacement of the product or a part thereof, yet the replacement is not possible, for example, due to the product having been sold out, the customer has the right to return the product (withdrawal from the contract).
The customer shall have the right to a new product (replacement) or to replacement of a part of the product even if the defect can be removed, provided they cannot properly use the product due to repeated occurrence of the defect or due to a high number of such defects. In such a case, the customer also has the right to return the product (by withdrawing from the contract).
If the product is not returned (the customer does not withdraw from the contract), or if the customer does not apply the right to a new defect-free product (replacement), to replacement of a part thereof, or to repair the product, they may request a reasonable discount. The customer also has a right to a reasonable discount if a new defect-free product cannot be supplied to them, or if a product part cannot be replaced or the product repaired unless the situation is remedied within a reasonable time limit, or if remedying the situation would create major discomfort on the part of the customer.
The seller-authorized service center or a staﬀ member authorized by them must decide about each complaint immediately or within three business days in complicated cases. This term does not include a reasonable period of time, depending on the type of product concerned, required for the defect to be assessed by an expert. A complaint, including defect removal, must be dealt with without any undue delay, yet no later than within 30 calendar days of the complaint ﬁ ling date, unless the seller and the customer agree on a later deadline.
On returning the product (withdrawing from the contract) the customer must return any accessories and documents supplied along with the product.
The customer does not have the right to keep the defective parts and components of the product replaced as part of a repair of the product.
This shall be without prejudice to any other rights the customer may have in relation to the purchase of the product.
