STEAM IRON
MODEL NO: RM/488

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

HOW TO PUT IT AWAY

• Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
• Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
• Leave the iron to cool down completely.

– Roll up the power cord with the rewinder Fig. 10.
– Always put the iron away in a vertical position.

ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING

We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of the fiber requiring the lower temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fiber) and do not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This also happens when the spin-drying revolutions are very high,
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to Off before plugging or unplugging from Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down — there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the flatiron is not operating normally. Disconnect from the power supply and have the flatiron serviced by qualified service personnel.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid. a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. if an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

More specifically:

DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision.
NEVER immerse the iron, cable, or plugin in any liquid.
DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inflammable surfaces.
DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the mains when the appliance is not being used.
NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket.
DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc. ).
DO NOT leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply.
DO NOT Ill the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.

PLEASE NOTE!

Do not use chemical additives, scented substances, or decalcifies. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”. leaving the steam selector (D) on position “OFF”.

Spray Function
Make stare that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (E) slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig. 81.

Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the spray function (E), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.

CLEANING

Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not connected to the socket.

Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or a non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with thy cloth.

SELF-CLEANING

The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it every 10-15days. Directions:

• Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector (D) to “OFF”
• Set the thermostat knob (G) to the maximum temperature and wait for the light (14) to turn off.
• Take out the iron from the base and hold it in a horizontal position.
• Told the cleanout button (N) setting until all the boiling water, steam, impurities come out Fig. 9.
• When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.

Selecting the steam.

1. 0nly setting a higher temperature can use steam ironing function. e.g. or match normal steam, Max matches big steam.

2. Ensure there’s enough water in the water tank, put the iron in a vertical position.

3. Setting the temperature selector required position must be between steam range (.. or …). [Fig. 3]

4. Connect the iron to the base and insert the plug into the socket:
   – When using the iron connected with its base [Fig. 4], make sure to open the base lock switch (L), make the base lock button (J) in the lock position. Heating in horizontal or vertical position.
   – When using the iron separately with the base [Mg. 5], vertically put the iron on the base, and wait for heating,

5. When the heating indicator light ( H ) goes out, you can start to use it.
   – If the iron was connected to the base, you can continue ironing.
   – If the iron was used separately, you can use about 30 seconds after the heating indicator (H) goes out (there will be a slight difference for different users, it is a normal condition), then you need to reput the iron on the base for heating, you can continue to use after the heating indicator (H) goes out,

6. Setting the steam selec for to a required position. [Fig. 1]

Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.

Press the shot-steam button (F) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases.
Wait for at least 2 seconds before pressing again [Fig. 6].
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.) [Fig. 7.]

Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate temperature control light (II) comes on, then start ironing again only after the light has gone off

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM

A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing. Please note:

Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralized water makes the “Zero- Cale” anti-scale system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.

Do not use chemical additives, scented substances, or decalcifies. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics. Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of hailing water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
-If the iron (iron connected to the base and power on) has been left for approx. 30 seconds in the horizontal position, heating will shut off. When heating shut off, the automatic shut ofT indicator light (K) will blink.

-If the iron (iron connected to the base and power on) has been left for approx. 8 minutes, heating will shut off. When heating shut off, the automatic shut off indicator light (K) will blink.

• When holding up the iron again, the automatic shut-off indicator light (K) will permanently bright. When the power indicator light (H) is bright, the iron heating again.
• When the power indicator light (I I) goes out, the iron can be used.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.

PREPARATIONS
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.

Fabric not to be ironed

Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.

STEAM IRONING

Filling the reservoir
– Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
– Move the steam selector (D) to “0” [Fig. 11].
– Open the lid (C).
– Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure and take care not to go over the maximum level (about 320m1) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2].

– Close the lid (C).
