8. Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)
- For your safety, the electronic system cuts off the power and the autostop indicator light
flashes
- fig. 13
when:
• The iron remains motionless for more than 8 minutes on its heel.
• The iron remains flat or on its side for more than 30 seconds.
- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
9. Autoclean Catalys® Soleplate
- Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate
- fig. 14
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.
Dry Ironing
- Choose your ironing program.
- Set the steam control to DRY
- fig. 1.1.
- You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
Caring for your iron
BE CAREFUL ! Unplug your iron and let it cool down before cleaning it.
Cleaning the anti-calc valve (once per month)
- Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
- To remove the antiscale valve, set your thermostat on the position MAX
- fig. 10
,
place the steam control on STEAM ,
- fig. 1.2
and the valve can now be removed
from your iron
- fig. 15.
Never touch the end of the valve
- Soak the valve in a cup of white vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours
- fig. 16
.
- Rinse the valve under running water.
- Replace the anti-calc valve.
The iron will not function without the anti-calc valve
1. Self-cleaning
In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a month.
- Set the iron to DRY
- fig. 1.1
.
- Fill the water tank to maximum.
- Set the iron on his heel, with the water tank full, and set the thermostat to MAX
- fig. 10.
- When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position, over a
sink.
- Set the steam control to STEAM ,
- fig. 1.2
- 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.
- Turn the iron back on for 2 minutes, setting it on its heel, to dry the soleplate.
- Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.
2. Cleaning the soleplate
Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate, which works by catalysis.
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.
- Empty the water tank and set the steam control to DRY
- fig. 1.1
. A little water may remain in the tank.
- Wind the cord not too tightly around the heel at the back of the iron.
- Store the iron on its heel.
When the Auto-Stop
warning light is on, it is
normal for the
thermostat light to
remain off.
Recommendations: the
self-cleaning function
helps to slow down the
scaling up of your iron.
Note!
The steam control
position must
necessarily be on
STEAM
(fig.1.2)
in
order to remove or
replace the iron's
antiscale rod.
Attention!
The use of a scouring
pad will cause damage
to your soleplate's
self-cleaning coating
(fig.17)
Warning ! the steam
control must be set to
STEAM (fig.1.2) during the
cleaning phase and the
thermostat must be set to
MAX (fig.10).
