STEAM AND DRY IRON

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, resulting in injury or damage, take the following precautions: Do not use the iron near or under curtains or other inflammable materials and never leave it unattended while connected or on an ironing board. Use this iron only for its intended use. In case of unintended use there is danger of injury for the user and damage on the device. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. The iron should always be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect from outlet to avoid damaging the cord. Instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces, it could be damaged. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away to prevent fire. Put the iron on the storage cover and loop the cord around iron when storing. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling it with water or emptying it and when the iron is not in use. Do not operate an iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to the customer service for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used. Close supervision is necessary if the iron is being used by or near children, they cannot realize the risks that could result from using electrical appliances. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down there may be hot water in the water tank. All repair work should be carried out by an approved service center. Push the steam button a few times and lightly shake the iron after use to ensure all water is drained. The remaining moisture will evaporate if you then plug in the cord and heat iron for a few moments. This iron is intended for home use only. Keep these instructions in a safe place.

HOW TO USE YOUR IRON

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the iron for the first time, check if the voltage rating on the base plate corresponds to the mains voltage in your home. Remove the storage cover, sticker or any protective items from the soleplate. It is important to remove any residues of the polishing compound, used on the soleplate, which may have lodged in the steam vents. Using the measuring cup supplied, pour water into the iron up to the MAX line. Clean the steam vents by using Calc Clean system. (See using the Calc Clean Button). When finished, wipe the soleplate with an old cloth. Cotton swabs may be used to clean and dry the steam vents. Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron may smoke slightly when switched on for the first time. After a short while, however, this will cease. Normal tap water can usually be used for ironing. But if you live in a hard water area we recommend to use distilled water to insure optimum performance of your iron.

IRONING TIPS

Sort the articles to be ironed according to the fabric. Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam of a garment and these should be followed at all times. Start your ironing with the fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting. If you are unsure of the fibre content of a garment, test a small area (a seam or inside hem) before ironing. When in doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase the heat to find the best setting for good results without damaging the fabric.
USING THE STEAM BURST BUTTON
Be sure there is water in the tank and the temperature control knob is on steam.

DRIP-STOP FEATURE

As indicated on the temperature control knob, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures. With conventional steam irons, water may drip from the soleplate if an extremely low temperature has been selected. However, a new feature has been added to this iron DRIP STOP steam shut-off. This means that the iron will automatically stop steaming at low temperatures. When this happens, you will hear a CLICK. Then set the temperature control to the required temperature. Steaming will recommence as soon as the required temperature has been reached.
CEAR AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the soleplate remains smooth and unscratched by ironing around on not over zippers, rivets or any other objects which may scratch the soleplate. The mineral content of water varies according to different geographical regions. If you live in a hard water area, to insure optimum performance of your iron, we strongly recommend the use of distilled water which is readily available in retail stores. Do not disassemble or repair your iron yourself. After each use, remove the plug and let the iron cool down. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the iron body with a damp cloth.

Using the iron horizontally
Lift the iron and press the steam burst button. You may need to press this button a few times after filling the iron with water to activate the pump. The burst steam facility can be used only when ironing at temperature of at least 150 C, this means form II to III/MAX.

HOW TO FILL WITH WATER

Check that the steam control gear is in the dry position (position 0) when filling the water tank. Pull back the water tank lid and fill the tank to the MAX line. Do not overfill. Check the water level in the tank in the position shown.

USING AS A DRY IRON

The iron can be used as a dry iron, even if there is water in the water tank. Do not put water in the water tank when the iron is to be used as a dry iron for MANY HOURS. Put the iron on the heel rest and then plug the iron into the mains. Turn the steam control gear to O. Set the temperature control knob to the required temperature. When the heating light goes out, it indicates that the iron has reached the required temperature.
EMPTYING AND STORING THE IRON
Be sure the iron is unplugged first. Pour out any remaining water by shaking the iron. Make it a habit to empty the iron after each use. Put the iron on the storage cover. (DO NOT USE THE STORAGE COVER WHILE IRONING.) Wind the power cord around the cord winder. On a stable surface, store the iron with storage cover in the horizontal position. Let the iron cool down completely before storing.
Using the iron vertically
The burst function can be also used when the iron is held in vertical position to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc.
AUTO SHUT-OFF SAFETY FEATURE
The auto shut off feature automatically turns off power to the iron if it is left unmoved in a horizontal position for 30 seconds or in a vertical position for 8 minutes. When the iron enters ASO mode the auto shut off light blinks. The iron can be turned on again simply by gently shaking it. The green heating light will only light up if the temperature of the sole plate has fallen below the set temperature. If the green light does not light up, the sole plate temperature has not fallen below the set temperature and the iron can now be used.

USING THE SPRAY BUTTON

Provided there is sufficient water in the tank, you can use the spray button at any temperature setting and when steam or dry ironing. While ironing, press the button several times to activate the pump.

STEAM IRONING

Unwrap the cord. Be sure the iron is unplugged from the outlet before pouring in water. Turn the steam control gear to the dry position.(position 0). Fill the iron with water. Be careful to never fill over the MAX line on the water tank. Plug the iron in. Set the temperature control knob to the steam position and the heating light will illuminate. In this setting, the iron can be used as a steam iron once the heating light goes out. The light will illuminate and go out regularly during ironing as an indication that the temperature control is working properly. Setting the knob Turn the steam control gear to the steam position and the iron will create steam. Turn the steam control gear to the position 0, and the steam will cease. You can adjust the steam easily with the 7 positions of the steam control gear. Put the iron on the heel rest when rearranging clothing or while not in use. Steaming stops when the iron is placed on the heel rest.

ANTI-SCALE SYTEM

The integrated anti-scale system reduces the build up of lime scale and increases the user life of your iron
USING THE CALC CLEAN BUTTON
It is important to use the calc clean button the first time you use the iron and once a month from then on. Fill the water up to MAX line in water tank. Insert the plug into the wall socket. Set the temperature control to MAX. Allow the iron to heat up until the heating light goes out and then lights again. Remove the plug from the wall socket. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink. Set the steam control gear to calc clean position (0) then press and hold the calc clean button. The boiling water and steam will drain from the vents in the soleplate. Impurities and scale will be drained away with the water. Move the iron backwards and forwards while draining the water. Release the calc clean button once all water has been drained out. Place the iron in the upright position, plug it and then allow it to heat up. Carefully dry soleplate by ironing over a towel or old cloth to ensure there is no remainder of the water inside the steam chamber. Do not use chemically decalcified water. Let the iron cool down completely before storing it.
