Vertical steam ironing
•
Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot,
so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is
wearing.
• Set the thermostat control to
“MAX” – fig.8.
•
Operate the Power zone trigger by pulsing – fig.7moving the iron from top to bottom – fig.9.
Dry ironing
• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
•
Set the steam control to – fig.1.
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
Extra Functions
Autoclean Catalys
®
Soleplate (depending on model)
• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.
• Its exclusive coating helps eliminate all the impurities generated by normal use.
•
It is recommended that you always stand your iron on his heel to preserve its self-cleaning coating.
Integral anti-scale system
Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system. This system will help to provide:
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• lasting performance from your appliance.
Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)
• The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the
iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than
30 seconds – fig.10.
• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
• When the iron is no longer hot enough to produce steam, the water feed will stop automatically to avoid dripping.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)
• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• Adjust the steam setting to “Eco”.
• To remove the anti-scale valve, open the water tank lid and press the release button – fig.11 and then pull the valve upwards –
fig.12.
• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours – fig.14.
• Rinse the valve under running water.
• Replace the anti-scale valve; press until it clicks in to place – fig.15.
Self-cleaning
• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it’s heel with the
thermostat set to “Max” and heat it up.
• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position,
over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve – fig.11-12 (see previous chapter).
• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through the
soleplate – fig.16.
• At the end of the operation, replace the anti-scale valve; press it in until it clicks – fig.15.
• Plug the iron back in and leave it resting on its heel for two minutes to dry the soleplate.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.
Cleaning the soleplate
Your steam iron is fitted with a self-cleaning soleplate (depending on model):
• The exclusive active coating helps eliminate all the impurities generated by the normal
day-to-day use of the iron.
• However, if you iron using an unsuitable programme, some traces may be left which require manual cleaning. In this case, it is
recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the warm soleplate, in order not to damage the surface.
Your steam iron is fitted with an Ultraglide soleplate (depending on model):
• Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.
Storing your iron
• Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down – fig.18.
• Empty the water tank and set the steam control to . A little water may remain in the tank.
• Wind the cord around the heel at the back of the iron. Store the iron on its heel – fig.19.
Hold the iron a few centimetres
from the fabric to avoid burning
delicate fabrics. Every five pulses
return the iron to a horizontal po-
sition.
The auto-stop light will be lit du-
ring normal use!
Be careful! - Never touch the end of the
valve – fig.13.
- The iron will not function without the
anti-scale valve.
The self-cleaning function helps to slow
down scaling in your iron. In order to ex-
tend the life of your iron, use the Self-
Cleaning function once a month.
Attention! The use of a scouring pad will
cause damage to your soleplate's self-clea-
ning (depending on model) coating – fig.17.
Never use aggressive or
abrasive products.
