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 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.
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.
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.
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. Press and hold the self cleaning button
(3). The water will start to drip through
the stream holes. In order to make sure
that all the water has emptied out, rock
the iron slowly from side to side and
forwards and backwards for 30 seconds.
When rocking the iron, put the nose of
the iron slightly lower that the back end
to make sure that the water circulates
completely. Let go of the self cleaning
button after one minute.
8. Iron over a damp cloth in order to clean
the base.
