11. IRONING TIPS
When selecting the temperature, follow
the instructions printed on the label of the
garment to be ironed. If the garment does
not have a label, use the table below:
TEMPERATURE TABLE
If you have any doubts about the composition
of the fabric, always begin ironing at a low
temperature on a concealed part of the
garment and slowly increase the temperature
setting, taking care not to spoil the fabric,
until all the creases have disappeared.
• Fabrics such as velvet, wool, etc., and
items such as gloves and bags, can be
revamped by slowly passing the iron a
few inches above them with the steam
option on.
10. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Unplug the iron and wait until it has cooled
before cleaning.
Clean the exterior and base with a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents or abrasive products.
The surface of the iron base (1) should be
kept clean at all times. To clean the base,
wait until it has cooled completely and
then wipe with a damp cloth.
In order to prevent scratching, do not iron
over hook and eye fastenings, zips or
metallic buttons, etc. and do not place the
iron on metallic or rough surfaces.
After each use, empty the deposit and
leave the iron to cool before storing.
Never submerge the iron in water or
hold it under a running tap.
Self-cleaning
In order to prevent the accumulation of
harmful minerals that may obstruct the
iron, and to guarantee correct heating and
steam generation, we recommend that you
use this function at least once a month,
depending on frequency of use and the
hardness of the water in your area.
1. Turn the temperature selector to "MIN".
2. Slide the steam control knob to the dry
iron position (Fig. C).
3. Fill the water deposit to the maximum
level.
temperature required for maximum
additional steam expulsion.
Note: Before ironing, press the extra
steam button a few times to activate it. For
best results, do not press the extra steam
button more than three times after the pilot
light has gone off.
Vertical steam: The extra steam function
can also be used when the iron is in an
upright position. To do so, hold the iron in
an upright position approx. 15 to 20 cm
from the fabric and press the extra steam
button (9).
Warning: Avoid contact with the steam.
Do not direct the steam jets towards
people.
4. Place the iron in an upright position,
resting on its support base.
5. Plug it in and turn the temperature
selector to "MAX". Wait until the pilot
light switches off and on 2 or 3 times.
6. Turn the temperature selector to "MIN"
and unplug the iron.
7. Hold the iron in a horizontal position
over a sink or basin and slide the steam
control knob to the self-cleaning
position (Fig. E). Leave the knob in this
position to enable steam and boiling
water droplets to flow through the
base’s steam outlets.
8. Gently move the iron backwards and
forwards until the deposit is completely
empty.
9. Iron over a damp cloth in order to clean
the base.
10.When you have finished, leave the iron
to cool before storing.
