ETA Maesta - Manual (Page 26)

Warning
– During ironing the thermostat will cycle, which is accompanied by characteristic sound
(clicking). This is normal situation and does not form the reason for warranty claim
related to the appliance.
!
Note
The indicator light G2 on irons with the AUTO STOP feature is active only when
plugging in for the first time (until you change the position of the iron) or when activating
the AUTO STOP function. The indicator light G2 on irons without this function is active
all the time the iron is plugged in.

Recommendation
Control H (Fig. 2) is marked with international symbols that recommend the optimum
ironing temperature and they are the same as marking on some types of laundry
and textiles (Fig. 3). When the temperature is increased from the cold state or if the
temperature is set from higher to lower, we recommend waiting for a while (see the
information on the display and listen for sound signalling) due to stabilization of the ironing
plate temperature.
Steam ironing
Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator D to the position 0 (Fig. 5) and slide
the cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to the container I (Fig. 4) with the
enclosed cup O and close the filling hole lid in the opposite direction. Keep the position of
the iron for pouring in water. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation
wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2 - ). Plug the power cord M to a socket.
When the control light G1 goes off, move the steaming regulator D away from handle. The
more you move the regulator towards MAX, the bigger amount of outgoing steam there will
be (Fig. 5). Place the iron to the rest position, automatic creation of steam will stop (more
steam may be going out for a short time).
Warning
– For all normal ironing the middle adjustment of the steam amount is recommended.
Only on ironing the linen fabric, thick cotton and similar fabrics the adjustment of the
steam amount to maximum value is recommended. Setting to high-pressure steam
ironing os recommended only if the regulation wheel H is set to temperature setting •••.
– Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the SELF CLEAN button.
– When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit ( MAX. 300 ml), steam
can be created even in the rest position.
– At places with hard water we recommend diluting it with distilled water. You will get the
information about water hardness at the water-management authorities, or at the local
sanitary station.
!
For water hardness > 15 °N we recommend filling the iron in the following ratio:
Water hardness Ratio of tap water : distilled water (pH = 7)
medium 2 : 1
hard 1 : 1
very hard 1 : 2
