- Turn the steam dial to position ‘0’ befor installing the tank with water.
- Open the cap of the tank and ll it up to the ‘MAX’ mark on the tank. The water level can be seen through the transparent side of the tank when the iron is placed upright.
- Pour out the remaining water after use.
Note: tap water can be used in this iron. Do not use water additives or substitute water, such as linen or scented water in the steam iron. They can stain fabrics or damage the iron. Do not exceed the ‘MAX’ mark on the tank.
OPERATION
Anti-Calc Function:
The anti-calc function is a permanent system located inside the water tank to
eliminate impurities from the water and reduce the problems derived from
limescale build-up. To prolong the ef ciency of this system, follow these
steps regularly:
- Unplug the iron and allow it to cool down.
- Fill 3/4 of the measuring cup provided with the iron with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and ll the water tank with this solution.
- Leave the solution in the water tank for 15 minutes, shaking it occasionally, and empty it. Repeat this step twice.
- Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse it and empty it.
Anti-Drip Function:
This system controls the water ow to the soleplate at all times. Below a
certain temperature, the anti-drip function cuts off the water ow and prevents
the iron from dripping water onto the fabric.
Auto-Power Off Function:
The iron will automatically turn off if placed in horizontal position for 30
seconds, or in the vertical position for 8 minutes. To indicate that the iron
has been turned off, the unit will beep 6 times and the auto-power off
indicator light will blink. The iron can take up to 45-60 minutes to cool down
completely.
To heat up the iron again:
- Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
- The auto-power off light indicator will stop blinking.
- The auto-power off light indicator will remain on and the iron will be ready for use.
ECO mode:
Use this mode for optimal results when steam ironing any type of fabric. This
position guarantees good results saving energy.
Dry ironing:
- Place the iron in vertical position.
- Plug the iron.
- Set the temperature control dial to position ‘MIN’.
- Preheat the iron until the indicator light turns off.
- The iron is ready for use.
Steam ironing:
Fill the iron as described in ‘How to install with water’.
- Plug the appliance into the mains supply.
- Place the iron vertically and turn the temperature control dial to the steam position.
- Steam ironing is only possible when the temperature control dial is set at higher temperature settings, signalled with the mark ‘MAX’; otherwise, the water will leak from the soleplate.
- Preheat the iron until the indicator light turns off.
- Turn the steam selector to the required setting, according to the different types of fabric.
- The iron is ready for use.
How to use the water spray:
Before using the spray function,
check the fabric label for ironing instructions, as some fabrics may be
spotted or stained with moisture. The spray function is particularly helpful
to remove stubborn wrinkles and whenever extra moisture is needed. The spray
may be used both with steam or dry ironing. Simply press the spray mist button
when desired.
How to use the steam burst:
The steam burst feature provides additional steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. It may be used both with steam or dry ironing. Press the power steam button to release a steam burst. Pressing the button several times may be necessary to build up the steam burst. Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fabric before pressing the button again for more steam.
Note: for optimal results, do not apply more than three successive bursts after the indicator light turns off.
After use:
- Turn off and unplug the iron.
- Empty the iron immediately after use. Do not store the iron with water in its tank.
- Wait until the iron has cooled down before storing it. Let it rest on its base in vertical position to protect the soleplate from scratches, corrosion, or stains.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Outside surface of the iron:
After unplugging and letting the iron cool down, wipe its exterior surface
with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent.
WARNING: do not use any abrasive cleaning agent.
Soleplate:
Starch and other types of residue may be easily removed from the soleplate with a damp cloth. To avoid scratches on its nish, do not use metallic scouring pads to clean the soleplate and never place the iron on a rough surface. If synthetic fabrics are ironed at high temperature, both the fabric and the soleplate of the iron could be damaged. The best way to remove synthetic residue from the soleplate is to heat it up and iron over an old cotton rag.
CAUTION: do not use steam iron cleaners in this iron, since they could damage its working parts.
Self-Cleaning:
IMPORTANT: your iron will give the best ironing results and last longer if you use the selfcleaning function once a month, or more depending upon usage.
- Fill half of the water tank with water and leave the steam selector in “0FF” position.
- Place the iron in vertical position.
- Plug the iron.
- Turn the temperature control dial to ‘MAX’.
- Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light turns off.
- Unplug the iron from the mains supply and keep it in horizontal position over the sink.
- Turn the steam selector to the maximum position or hold the “Autoclean” button until all the boiling water, steam, and impurities come out.
- Clean the soleplate with a clean cloth once it has cooled down.
