adequate temperature.
- During use the pilot light (D) will go on and off
automatically, which indicates that the elements
are working and that the desired temperature is
being maintained.
Dry
ironing:
- Put the dry / steam ironing button (F) into the
dry position (Fig. 2).
- This position is for dry ironing (without steam).
Steam
Ironing:
- Put the dry / steam ironing button (F) into the
steam position (Fig. 3).
- It is only possible to iron with steam when the
water compartment has water inside and the
correct temperature setting is selected.
Once you have finished using the appliance:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Empty the water container.
- Clean the appliance.
Practical recommendations:
- Classify the garments into groups by ironing
temperature. The appliance heats up more
quickly than it cools down. Therefore, to avoid
accidents, minimise energy consumption and
optimise time. It is advisable to start off ironing
items that require lower temperatures and
progress to those that need higher
temperatures.
- Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the
iron set to steam. Select a high steam
temperature and place a cotton cloth between
the iron’s metal surface and the garment.
Cleaning
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and
allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning
task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a
few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products,
for cleaning the appliance.
- Never submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid or place it under running water.
How to deal with lime scale incrustations:
- For the appliance to work correctly it should
be kept free of lime scale or magnesium
incrustations caused by the use of hard water.
- To avoid this kind of problem it is advisable to
use distilled water.
- However, if it is not possible to use the kind
of water recommended above, you should
periodically remove the lime scale from the
appliance:
- Every 6 weeks if the water is “very hard”.
- Every 12 weeks if the water is “hard”.
- Homemade solutions are not recommended in
the descaling of this appliance, such as the use
of vinegar.
