MAVEN 125IS KEY FEATURES

CONTROL PANEL

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. This appliance is designed for use with normal tap water. Other liquids might damage the appliance.

4.  Always disconnect the appliance from the main power supply after use.

IMPORTANT:

During first time use, it may take 10-30 seconds for steam to start. This may take longer if cartridge is not completely soaked.
Your unit may make “chugging” noises upon initial use. This is normal. It is simply the water drawing into the unit. As noted above, this chugging may take 10-30 seconds when first using your Maven 125IS. Hold down the steam button to assist with the water drawing process. If your unit requires more water, refill your water tank.
We recommend you change your descaling cartridge every 3 to 6 months.

3. Immerse the new anti-scale cartridge into water for 5 minutes (Figure 13) before first use for better performance.
4. Press to release the cartridge from the appliance and pull out the old cartridge from the appliance (Figure 14). Caution: The cartridge can be very hot due to the heat from the soleplate. Make sure the cartridge has cooled down before pressing it.
5. Insert the new anti-scale cartridge (Figure 15)

Note: If the anti-scale cartridge is not installed, or installed incorrectly, you will not be able to use the appliance.

SELF CLEANING

This function removes the scale and mineral build-up from the steam chamber. The appliance will remain in the best condition if this function is performed at least once a month or more often, depending on the hardness of water used.

1.  When the self-clean indicator lights up with a beep, it indicates that the appliance needs to undergo a self-cleaning (Figure 17).

2. Fill the water tank to the max level (See ‘FILLING THE WATER TANK’) and plug in the appliance.

3. Press the function button followed by the steam trigger and hold both buttons for 3 seconds. The appliance will then enter self-cleaning mode with a beep sound.

4. Press the function to proceed with self-cleaning. Press the steam trigger to resume ironing. (Note: when self-cleaning is confirmed, you will not be able to terminate it until the process is completed).

5. Hold the iron about 15 centimeters above the sink in the ironing position. Loose material and water will come out through the steam holes (Figure 18). The appliance will resume the previous ironing setting when this is complete.

6. Iron with a damp cloth to remove any deposits on the soleplate. Remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.

7. Press and hold the function button to turn the appliance off and unplug from the main power supply outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

2.  Place the iron unit on the base.
3. Turn the carry lock to the lock position.
4. You can carry the appliance with one hand by the handle of the iron unit when the iron is locked on the base.

IRONING TIPS

1. Sort out articles to be ironed according to types of fabric. This will minimize the frequency of temperature adjustments.
2. Test iron a small area on the backside or inside the garment if you are unsure about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
3. Wait 2 minutes between temperature adjustments while ironing heat sensitive fabrics.
