Nova IR-150, Instructions For Use Manual, Page: 6 / 20

USING THE IRON
The first time
1. If you are using the iron for the first time, check that the voltage indicated on the underside of the
iron corresponds to the voltage of the circuit to which you intend to connect the iron.
2. Remove any labels and stickers from the iron.
3. Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased; this may cause the iron to give off a little smoke
when it is switched on for the first time. The smoke will stop after a short time.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
1. Ensure that the appliance is not plugged in.
2. Place the reservoir on a stable surface.
3. Fill the water reservoir (max. 1 litre)
4. We recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. This applies especially in
hard water areas, to avoid unwanted scale build-up.
5. Never use pure distilled water, vinegar, decalcifying agents or other chemicals.
6. Close the steam reservoir by manually turning the cap clockwise until firmly closed.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR WHEN THE IRON AND/OR WATER RESERVOIR IS HOT
ATTENTION: when the iron is heating up, the water reservoir is pressurised. Only fill the reservoir when
it is empty and cool.
1. Turn the iron off using the 'iron switch'.
2. Turn the water reservoir off using the 'steam switch'
3. Remove the plug from the socket.
4. Carefully unscrew the cap of the water reservoir (turn 1 to 1
1 /
2
times anticlockwise) until steam can
be heard escaping. Wait until the noise stops. This sound is quite normal and does not mean that
anything is wrong with the appliance.
5. Continue to unscrew the cap carefully until the sound is heard again. Wait once more until the noise
stops. Continue in this fashion until the cap is removed.
6. Wait for a few minutes, then slowly pour warm water into the aperture.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, the steam reservoir switch must be in the OFF position.
STEAM IRONING
1. As indicated on the thermostat, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures, so set
the thermostat to •• or •••
2. Insert the plug into the electricity socket
3. Set the “steam on/off” switch to “on”. The indicator light will come on.
4. The iron heats up faster than the water tank. If you wish, you can switch the iron on a couple of
minutes later.
5. Select the right temperature using the thermostat.
6. Set the “iron on/off” switch to “on”. The indicator light in the switch and the iron heating indicator light
will come on.
7. After a few minutes, the iron heating indicator light will go out. This means that the iron plate has
reached the right temperature.
8. When the indicator light on the switch goes out it means that the water reservoir has heated up and
that there is enough steam. You can now start to steam iron.
SWITCHING ON THE STEAM
1. Ensure that there is water in the reservoir and that the thermostat is set to “steam”.
2. Press the uppermost button to turn on the steam.
3. IMPORTANT: you may have to press the bottom button (steam jet) a few times to remove all the air
from the system before the pump will start.
4. Pressing the button on top will cause the iron to emit steam. You can turn the steam off by briefly
pressing the bottom button halfway in.
5. Pressing the bottom button all the way in produces a jet of steam.
6. The iron can be used to steam iron horizontally or vertically (e.g. to clean curtains and clothing).
