DRY IRONING
For ironing without steam, follow the instruction in
section “steam ironing”, however, the steam con
-
trol turning knob should remain in position “O” (no
steam).
SELF-CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the sole
-
plate, removing impurities. We recommend using
it every 10-15 days.
• Set the steam control turning knob to Position
O (no steam).
• Fill the water tank to maximum level.
• Set the temperature control dial to MAX and
wait for the pilot light to turn off.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and press the
self-cleaning button until the boiling water,
steam, impurities come out.
• When the soleplate has cooled down, you can
clean it with a damp cloth
HOW TO CLEAN AND STORE
• After using, remove the plug from the socket,
lift the iron with the filling hole downwards
to empty the remaining water from the water
tank.
• Insert the plug into the socket, and set the
Temperature Control Dial to “MAX” for 1-2
minutes to evaporate the remaining water,
and then unplug the iron and let it cool down
before storing it.
ATTENTION:
The iron must not be left unattended while it is con-
nected to the supply mains. When the power cord
is damaged, contact your dealers or an authorized
service center for repair.
In case of any repairs, replacement of cord or plug,
or adjustment, please consult a qualified techni-
cian, or take appliance to an authorized service
facility.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
When using your iron, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
• Make sure the voltage used corresponds with
that indicated on the rating label.
• Use the iron only as described in this instruc-
tion manual.
Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used near children. Do not leave iron unat-
tended while plugged in or on an ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot
water or steam.
• This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.”
• The iron should never be left unattended
while it is connected to the wall socket.
• Unplug the iron from the wall socket before:
1) Cleaning
2) Filling with water or emptying the water
tank
3) Immediately after use
• Never operate the iron with a damaged power
cord or plug, or if it is damaged in any way. To
avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disas-
semble the iron. Take it to your nearest ap-
proved service centre for repair.
• Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces.
• To protect against electric shock, do not im-
merse the iron in water or any other liquid.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable
surface.
• Do not use the iron if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
• It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be
released on first use, this will quickly disap-
pear.
• When using the steam function for the first
time, do not direct the steam towards the
laundry, as there could be debris from the
steam vents.
Filling with water:
• Make sure that both the variable steam con-
trol and temperature control dial are in the
“OFF” position.
• Hold the iron upright so that the water-filling
inlet is in a horizontal position.
• Pour water through the water filling inlet until
the water reaches the “MAX” mark indicated
on the side of the iron, and never fill above
this mark.
Setting the temperature:
Follow the ironing instructions on the garment la-
bel. If there are no instructions but you do know
the kind of fabric, please consult the table below.
Note: If the fabric consists of various kinds of fab-
rics, always select the temperature required by the
most delicate fabric.
Steam ironing:
• Place the iron in a vertical position and set the
temperature control dial to the “MIN“ heat set-
ting.
• Insert the plug into the wall socket, and then
turn the temperature control dial to the “MAX”
heat setting. The pilot light will illuminate, indi-
cating that the iron is heating up.
• When the pilot light switches off, the selected
temperature has been reached and the iron is
ready to use.
• During ironing, the pilot light will switch on/off
automatically as the thermostat maintains the
selected temperature.
• Turn the variable steam control to the desired
position.
