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.
level over 27º F), we recommend the use of
pure distilled water.
1. Place the unplugged iron on a stable, heat-
resistant surface.
2. Fill the water deposit (See "Filling the deposit").
3. Turn the temperature selector (2) to "MIN" (Fig.
B).
4. Place the iron in an upright position, resting it on
the support base (10).
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature
selector to " " (3 dots) or "Max". To
obtain optimum results when steam ironing,
do not use the " " (1 dot) or "
" (2 dot)
positions.
The pilot light (4) will come on. When this pilot
light switches off, the iron will have reached the
selected temperature. The pilot light will turn
on and off at regular intervals during the ironing
process, indicating the cycles of the thermostat.
Remember that if you change from a higher to a
lower temperature, the pilot light (4) will remain off
until the temperature of the base has dropped to
the selected level, at which point it will come on
again
6. Slide the steam control knob (7) to one of the
steam iron positions (fig. E). Hold the iron in a
horizontal position and the steam outlets will
begin to expel steam. If no steam is produced,
lightly tap the iron base against the ironing
board. Setting the iron in an upright position,
resting on the support base, will interrupt the
steam expulsion.
Caution! Avoid contact with the steam and
do not direct it towards people.
7. When you have finished, turn the temperature
selector to "MIN", slide the steam control knob
to the dry iron position (Fig. C), unplug the cable
and empty the deposit. The deposit should be
emptied after each use as follows:
Open the cover (5) and pour the water out of the
deposit (Fig. F). Press the extra steam button to
remove any water that may still be in the deposit
while the base is still hot. Leave in an upright
position until cool.
Note: If you need to top up the deposit while
ironing, always unplug the iron beforehand.
8. SPRAY (FIG. G)
This function will only work if there is water
in the deposit. Press the spray button (8)
(Fig. G), to obtain a burst of sprayed water to
9. EXTRA STEAM (FIG. H)
Turn the iron on as indicated in the "Steam
ironing" section.
When the iron has reached the selected
temperature, press the extra steam button (9)
down firmly (Fig. H), for an intense steam
expulsion. This option enables you to iron more
quickly and to smooth out stubborn creases
more easily. Wait for at least 5 seconds before
pressing the extra steam button again, in
order to enable the iron to reach the optimum
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.
dampen dry or difficult-to-iron fabrics such as linen,
cotton or wool. Dampening the fabric slightly will
help remove stubborn creases. The spray option
is also useful for dampening accidental creases
created whilst ironing.
Spray is released through spray outlet nozzle (6).
Note: The first time you use your iron, you may
have to press the spray button a few times before
the option will work.
