Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the
“
Zero-Calc
”
anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical
characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to
comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point
where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave
marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to
prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of
spoiling or staining them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (ONLY ES2455-01 ES2455-02 )
The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight
minutes in the upright position or unused for approx. Thirty seconds in the horizontal
position. The light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you
move the iron, the device turns off and the iron starts working again.
G E N E R A L I N S T R U C T I O N S
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke
and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it
stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth
before using it for the first time.
PREPARATIONS

Fabric not to be ironed
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down)
and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
