Press and hold on the control button (16) of the ionized steam-
ing function. The blue internal indicator (17) turns on in this case
showing that smaller steam particles, deeply get into the most diffi-
cult ironing fold, and eliminate the wrinkle to be easier. Light clicking
during this process is a normal occurrence and not a malfunction.
5. When you have finished cleaning or ironing, do not forget to
switch the iron off by putting the steam control knob (9) and
the temperature control knob (10) into the «0» position and
unplugging the appliance from the mains supply outlet.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of the sole plate
Do not use any abrasive substances and ma-
terials to clean the sole plate.
Cleaning of internal parts of the
appliance
SI-4060 iron is equipped with an anti-scale function which
protects it from an accumulation of scale: it does this with a built-in
permanent filter. Therefore the water hardness is reduced and
the useful service life of the iron is extended.
Warning:
In areas with very hard water it is recommended
that you regularly remove scale from the appliance to
maintain it in good working order. Excess lime scale
may result in damage or malfunction of your product.
If in your area the water is soft and you have average amounts
of clothes to be ironed then we recommend you to de-scale every
6 months. If the water in your area is very hard or if you iron
frequently, then we recommend you de-scale once a month.
Your iron has a self-cleaning function, which allows you to
clean the internal parts of the appliance from scale or dust. To use
this function perform the following procedure:
1. Set the steam control knob
(9) into the «0» position.
2. Fill the tank (5) with water to the «Max» level.
3. Place the iron in a vertical position and plug it into the mains
supply outlet.
4. Set the temperature control knob (10) into the «Max» posi-
tion. The light indicator (11) will light up showing that the iron
is being heated to the desired temperature.
5. When the iron reaches the maximum temperature, the light
indicator (11) will go out.
6. Whilst holding the appliance horizontally over a sink, set the
steam control knob (9) into the «Self-Clean» position. Hot
steam will discharge from the sole plate (12) removing the
scale and dust. If the blast of steam becomes weaker, set the
control knob
(9) into the «0» position and wait for 12-15
seconds until the iron gets hot again. Then once again set the
control knob into the «Self-Clean» position.
7. When the water tank (5) is completely empty, set the steam
control knob (9) into the «0» position.
