Dry ironing
• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
• Set the steam control to “0” – fig.1.
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
Extra Functions
Ultracord System (depending on model)
Your iron has been designed with the Ultracord system to prevent the steam
cord from dragging across the linen and creasing it while ironing. It also
allows you to handle the iron more easily. To use the Ultracord system:
• Turn the Lock-System ring and put the indicator on the position –
fig.10.
• The Ultracord system opens out automatically. You can now plug in
your appliance and begin to iron.
• Each time you put your iron on its heel, the Ultracord system closes
automatically and opens out each time you pick the iron up again.
Integral anti-scale system (depending on model)
Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system – fig.11. 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.12.
• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops
flashing.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
• If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam
because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water
leaking from the soleplate.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)
• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• To remove the anti-scale valve, pull it up – fig.13.
• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for
hours – fig.14.
• Rinse the valve under running water.
• Replace the anti-scale valve.
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.13.
• 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.15.
• At the end of the operation, push the anti-scale valve back into position.
• Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft
cloth.
For easier use,
always use the
Ultracord system.
When the Auto-Stop
warning light is on, it
is normal for the
thermostat light to
remain off.
When using the iron
for the first time, allow
2 minutes for steam to
be produced.
Be careful !
- Never touch the
end of the valve.
- 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 extend the
life of your iron, use
the Self-Cleaning
function once a
month.
