Extra Functions
Autoclean Catalys
®
Soleplate
• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.
• Its exclusive coating helps continuously 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.
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.
Cleaning the soleplate
• Its exclusive active coating helps continuously 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.
Storing your iron
• Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down.
• Close the Ultracord System and lock it by positionning the ring indicator (depending on
model) onto
.
• Empty the water tank and set the steam control to “0”. 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.16.
For easier use, always
use the Ultracord
system.
When the Auto-Stop war-
ning 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 wi-
thout 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.
Attention!
The use of a scouring pad
will cause damage to your
soleplate's self-cleaning
coating (fig.17)
