9. Allow water to come out of the holes for at least
30 minutes.
10. Slide the iron gently on a cloth to eliminate any
stains from the soleplate.
11. Before using the iron again, press the shot of
steam button (1) repeatedly to eliminate any
scale residues.
When making this operation, keep the iron
away from the garments in order not to
stain them.
TIPS
If your Compact Generator is not equipped with the
Optimal Soleplate Temperature technology, you may
find the following tips useful.
• Sort the garments out according to the fabric
types. This will reduce the need to adjust the
temperature according to the different fabrics.
• Start with the garments that require a low ironing
temperature and continue with the garments
requiring higher ironing temperatures.
• If you are not sure about the composition of
the fabric, try ironing a hidden part such as a
seam, hem or internal section. Start with a low
temperature and gradually increase it until you
find the ideal ironing setting.
• When you reduce the Compact Generator’s
temperature to iron delicate garments, wait
approximately 2 minutes to let the iron reach the
new settings.
• Pure wool (100% wool) garments can be steam-
ironed as long as the temperature is set to wool.
We recommend using a cotton cloth to prevent
any shiny marks on the garment.
• Never iron areas with obvious perspiration
marks because the heat will fix the stains and
make them permanent.
DISPOSAL OF OLD
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Wa-
ste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electri-
cal appliances must not be disposed of in
the normal unsorted municipal waste stre-
am.
Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected. Con-
sumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
