Frequently Asked Questions - SIM6124B BEKO

How do I fill the water tank?

Open the water inlet cover, tilt the iron, and pour water using a measuring cup. Do not fill beyond the maximum level indicated. Use tap water or a mixture with distilled water to prevent scaling.

What kind of soleplate does the Beko SIM6124B have?

It has a ceramic soleplate that glides smoothly and is scratch-resistant. Ensure you do not iron over hard objects like zippers or buttons to avoid damage.

How does the anti-drip system work?

The anti-drip system prevents water droplets from leaking onto clothes when the iron is not hot enough. It activates automatically when the temperature is too low for steam.

How do I use the self-cleaning function?

Fill the tank to max, set the temperature to high, unplug the iron, hold it horizontally over a sink, and press the self-clean button. Steam and water will flush out impurities. Repeat as needed.

Does the iron have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, it automatically turns off if left unattended: after 30 seconds horizontally or 8 minutes vertically (on its heel). To restart, simply move the iron.

Can I use distilled water in the iron?

Yes, you can use distilled or demineralized water to reduce scale buildup. However, do not use perfumed water, vinegar, or other chemicals as they may damage the iron.

How do I clean limescale from my iron?

Use the self-cleaning function regularly. For stubborn scale, mix equal parts water and white vinegar, fill the tank, heat the iron, and steam vertically. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

How should I store the iron after use?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Empty the water tank, wrap the cord loosely around the heel, and store upright in a dry place. Do not store with water left inside.

Can I use the iron vertically for steaming curtains or suits?

Yes, the vertical steam function allows you to steam hanging garments or curtains. Hold the iron close to the fabric without touching and press the steam button.

What should I do if the iron is not steaming properly?

Check if the water tank is full, the temperature is set to high enough (steam range), and the anti-drip is not blocking. If still not steaming, perform the self-cleaning function to clear any scale blockage.

The appliance may be connected improperly. >>> Check the plug and power cable (1) of the appliance.

Temperature setting button (3) may be at the Min. position. >>> Turn the temperature setting button in the clockwise direction up to the steam sign.

The appliance does not generate steam.

The water reservoir may not have enough water. >>> Fill the water reservoir with water up to Max level (see, 3.3).

Steam setting button (8) may be at without-steam position. >>> Switch the steam setting button to the steam position (see. 3.6).

Shock Steam - Vertical Steam does not function.

These functions may have been used too frequently in a very short period of time.

Keep ironing at a horizontal position and wait for a while before using the shock steam function again. >>> Soleplate (5) may not be hot enough. Turn the temperature setting button (3) in the clockwise direction up to the steam sign.

Seat the appliance in a vertical position and wait for the soleplate to heat up.

Water drops fall down onto the fabric during ironing.

You may not have securely closed the water refill lid (7). >>> Close the water refill lid securely.

You may be using the shock steam at temperature level • or ••.

Increase the temperature level (see. 3.7).

During ironing, sediments and residues fall down from the soleplate (5).

If the water you use for your appliance is too hard, such sediments may form. >> Use the self-clean function for once or a few times (see. 4.2). For the subsequent ironings fill the water reservoir of the appliance with a mixture of tap water and potable water.

The appliance drops water after it cools down or stored.

You may have left the appliance on a horizontal position while there is water in its reservoir. >>> Empty the water reservoir.

Stains at the soleplate (5).
