Integral anti-scale system (depending on model)
- Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (K).
- 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 (L).
- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to re-
main off.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
- If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam be-
cause of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking
from the soleplate.
When using the iron for the first time, allow 2 minutes for steam to be pro-
duced.
- Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
- Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).
- You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
Self-cleaning
In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a
month.
- 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-calc valve.
- 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.
- At the end of the operation, push the anti-calc valve back into position.
- Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.
RECOMMENDATIONS : the self-cleaning function helps to slow down the scaling up of your iron.
Cleaning the soleplate
- While the soleplate is still slightly warm, clean it by wiping over it with a
damp non-metallic cloth.
5 • Dry ironing
- Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down. Empty the water tank
and set the steam control to DRY. 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.
