Frequently Asked Questions - DA-31691 KALORIK

How do I descale the iron?

Use the self-clean function: fill the tank, set steam to max, hold the iron horizontally and press the self-clean button. Repeat if necessary. For heavy scale, use a descaling solution recommended for irons.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent scale build-up. Tap water can be used but may cause scaling over time.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Ensure the tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to a high steam setting (above 3 dots). Wait for the iron to heat up. If still no steam, clean the steam vents with a cotton swab.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mixture of vinegar and water on a cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The iron automatically turns off after 8 minutes of inactivity when upright, or after 30 seconds when tipped over or left on its side.

How do I use the vertical steam function?

Hang the garment on a hanger. Hold the iron upright, 10-20 cm away from the fabric. Set steam to max and press the steam burst button to release steam for refreshing fabrics.

Can I use the iron with voltage converters?

The iron is designed for 220-240 V. If you need to use it in a 110-120 V country, you must use a step-up converter with sufficient wattage (2000 W).

How do I store the iron?

Empty the water tank to prevent leaks. Let it cool completely. Wrap the cord loosely around the heel. Store upright in a dry place.

What is the maximum temperature?

The maximum temperature is approximately 220°C (428°F). Refer to the fabric guide on the iron dial.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as soleplates, buttons, or plugs are not commonly available for this model. Check with Kalorik customer support or authorized service centers for assistance.

USER MANUAL DA-31691 KALORIK

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury,

When using your appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

1. Use the iron only for its intended use.
2. Check that your mains voltage corresponds to that stated on the appliance.
3. To protect against electrical shock do NOT immerse cord, plugs, or iron in water or other liquid.
4. The temperature dial and steam knob always be turned to 0/MIN before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect form the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow the cord to touch the hot surfaces. Let the iron cool down completely before putting away. Rewind the cord completely when storing.
6. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
7. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron, take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. Children should NOT play with this appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

1. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the water tank.
2. If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service center.
3. Deposit or Mineral in tap water will generate lime and eventually block the steam holes, therefore it is advisable to use distilled water.
4. When placing the iron on a stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
5. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

• Before using for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
• Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects (such as clothes rack, button and slide fastener).

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Use tap water only. Distilled or demineralised water makes the anticalc system inefficient. If you want to use the steam dial, fill the water tank as follows:

1) Unplug the iron from the outlet to let it cool down and set it horizontally on a stable level surface.
2) Turn the temperature dial to "MIN" and the variable steam dial to the setting.
3) To fill the water tank, open the lid of the filling opening downwards and pour water through the fill opening using a measuring cup. Never exceed the MAX mark indicated on the appliance. Then close the lid.
4) When ironing, unplug the appliance before refilling. Fill the water tank by holding the appliance in horizontal position without putting down the hot soleplate, unless you have a heat-resistant base.

BURST OF STEAM

The burst of steam feature provides additional steam for removing stubborn creases.

This button also allows you to iron delicate articles of clothing vertically. This feature is called "vertical burst of steam". To do so, hang your article of clothing on a hanger, keep the steam button pressed and pass the iron to and fro in front of the article of clothing, making sure that the soleplate does not come into contact with the article of clothing. The distance between the soleplate and the article of clothing depends on the kind of textile and the creases.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF

The automatic cut-off device trips after the iron has been left for approximately eight minutes in the upright position or unused for approximately thirty seconds in the horizontal position. The light comes on to indicate that the cut-off device has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the device turns off and the iron starts working again.

ANTI-CALC FEATURE

There is a decalcification box inside the appliance, which can absorb unsolvable calcium ion and send out solvable sodium ion so that water can be softened, and the process of calcium depositing would be much slower.

• Your appliance is provided with an anti-scale cartridge situated in the tank.
• It is necessary to replace the cartridge every six months. However, this period can vary according to the frequency of use of the iron and of the scale rate in the water of your region. If the scale rate is high, you will have to change the cartridge more frequently.
• BEFORE REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO MORE WATER IN THE TANK AND THAT THE IRON IS COLD.
• To remove the cartridge, turn the end of the cartridge anticlockwise by a half-round (with a coin for example) and separate it from the appliance by pulling it out.
• Introduce a new cartridge in the appliance and turn it clockwise until it stops (see the mark on the appliance).
• To obtain a new cartridge, contact the nearest after-sales service.
• NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT ITS ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE.

CARE AND CLEANING
