Reliable Velocity 200IR, Instruction Manual, Page: 11 / 44

• Due to the high level of water hardness in most areas, Reliable recommends
that you always use distilled or demineralised water for ironing. You will thus
guarantee that your 200IR stays in perfect condition for as long as possible. If
you cannot find distilled water for any reason, be sure to use water that is low
in minerals. Well water, and other water types with a high mineral content, can
damage your iron and affect the lifespan of the product.
• Do not put any type of scale remover solvents or products in the water tank.
Do not use perfumed or ironing water either. These products can damage the
interior of the steam generation system.
• Fill the tank without exceeding the maximum level using the beaker provide (8
and keeping the 200IR upright. After the tank is full, close the cap (1).
• Keep the water-fill hole cap (1) closed during operation.
• Check the garment to be ironed to see if it has a label that indicates the
ironing temperature.
• We recommend that you classify garments by their required ironing
temperature and that you begin ironing with the garments that require the
lowest temperature (•).
• Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than necessary is harmful
for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get stuck to the soleplate.
• If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment,
perform a test on a part which won’t be seen, beginning with the lowest
temperature settings.
OPERATION
This appliance has been designed exclusively for ironing clothes. Do not use it for
other purposes.
If the appliance is hot, handle it carefully and do not touch the soleplate.
We recommend that the 200IR iron be rested horizontally on an approved, heat
resistant iron pad (optional IRAREST). Storing an iron vertically is less secure and
increases the risk of the iron falling, but with proper care is acceptable.
1. Extend the cable fully and plug in the iron.
2. Turn the temperature selector from the OFF position to the desired position
(see “TEMPERATURE SELECTION”).
