Frequently Asked Questions - PSI36101 Profilo

What type of water should I use in the iron?

Use ordinary tap water. If water is very hard, mix with distilled water. Do not use pure distilled or demineralised water as it may cause the iron to sputter.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residues, use a mixture of vinegar and water on a cloth, then rinse. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

How often should I descale the iron?

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness. Use the self-cleaning function every 1-2 months. For hard water, consider using the anti-calc system.

What does the auto shut-off function do?

The iron automatically turns off after 8 minutes of inactivity in the vertical position and 30 seconds in the horizontal position to prevent accidents.

Can I use the iron without water?

Yes, you can dry iron. Ensure the steam control is set to no steam and the iron is on the appropriate temperature setting for the fabric.

Why does my iron leak water?

Leaking can occur if the iron is not hot enough, or you overfilled the tank. The anti-drip system prevents leaks at low temperatures. Ensure proper temperature setting.

How do I store the iron properly?

Empty the water tank, let the iron cool completely, and store upright on its heel rest. Coil the cable loosely around the base.

What fabrics can I use with steam?

Steam is suitable for cotton, linen, and synthetics at recommended settings. Check garment labels. For delicate fabrics like silk, use low temperature and no steam.

The iron does not produce steam anymore. What could be wrong?

Ensure the water tank is filled and the steam control is set to a steam setting. If still no steam, the iron may need descaling. Run the self-clean function.

Is the iron covered by warranty?

Yes, the Profilo PSI36101 comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your purchase receipt as proof.

GESTION

Information on the product and suggestions for its use

The iron is intended for domestic usage only and you can use it solely according to herewith manual.

Before using the iron for the first time

① With the iron unplugged, fill in the tank of the iron with tap water and set the temperature dial to "max".
② Plug in the appliance to the mains. When the steam iron has reached the desired temperature (pilot light switches off), start steaming by setting the steam regulator to "2" and by repeatedly pressing the button
③ When using the steam function for the first time, do not apply it on the laundry, as there could still be dirt in the steam dispenser.
④ Your new iron may smell and give off some smoke when you use it for the first time, this is normal and will cease after a short while.

How to use the iron

① Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature. If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.
② Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.
③ Silk, woollen or synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.

● Synthetics
●● Silk – Wool
●●●	Cotton – Linen

Technical data

The iron technical parameters are included at the name plate.

Filling the water tank

Set the steam regulator to the "0" position and unplug the iron from the mains!

Use only clean water from the tap without mixing anything with it. The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage the appliance.

Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products, will make the guarantee void.

Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditionings or similar. This appliance has been designed to use normal tap water.

To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2.

To prevent spillage of water out of the appliance in vertical position, never fill beyond the "max" water level mark!

Getting ready

Remove any label or protective cover from the soleplate.

Ironing without steam

Set steam control to the "0" position.

Ironing with steam

Only when the temperature dial is placed in the areas with the steam symbol.

Extra steam

Get extra steam by pressing the steam regulator for maximum 2 seconds.

Spray

Do not use the spray function with silk.

Shot of steam

Set the temperature dial in the max position Interval between shots of steam should be 5 sec.

Vertical steam

Do not iron clothing while it is being worn!

Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

Interval between shots should be 5 sec.

Wait 10 sec. after a cycle of 4 shot.

Multiple descaling system

self-clean

Each time you use the steam regulator, the “self-clean” system cleans the mechanism of scale deposits.

Calc'n clean

The “calc’n clean” function helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber.

Use this function approximately every 2 weeks if the water in your area is very hard.

① Fill the water tank, set the temperature control to the "max" position and plug in the iron.
② After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron.
③ Hold the iron over a sink and remove the steam regulator by turning it to the position while pressing it down.
④ Pour slowly the content of one filling beaker into the steam regulator hole (see picture G).
⑤ Gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out of the soleplate carrying scale or deposits that might be there. When the iron stops dripping, reassemble the steam
regulator by reinserting it, lining up the position with the pointer, pressing it in and turning it to the "0" position.
⑥ Heat up the iron again until the remaining water has evaporated.
⑦ If the steam regulator needle is soiled, remove any deposits from the tip with vinegar and rinse it off with clean water.

anti-calc

The “anti-calc” cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-up of scale produced during steam ironing, helping to extend the useful life of your iron. Nevertheless the “anti-calc” cartridge cannot remove all of the scale that is produced naturally over time.

Anti-drip system

If the temperature is set too low, the steam is automatically switched off to avoid dripping.

Storing

Turn the steam regulator to position "0".

Cleaning

Tips to help you save energy

Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:

Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature in the label on the garment.
Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature, following the instructions in this manual.
Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray function instead.
Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the 'iron dry' programme.
If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator completely.
Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
