Frequently Asked Questions - SI E40 BA1 HOTPOINT

What should I do if the soleplate remains cold and doesn't heat up?

Check that the plug is properly connected and that the temperature is not set to MIN. If the indicator lights up and then turns off, it's normal: the iron heats up and reaches the selected temperature.

Why is there no steam or too low steam output?

Make sure the steam selector is not on Off, that the tank contains at least 1/4 water, and that the temperature is sufficient (wait for the indicator to turn off or the screen to turn green). If the problem persists, wait a little between steam bursts.

Impurities come out of the soleplate and stain the laundry, what to do?

Use the Auto-Clean function to clean the steam chamber. Never add perfume, vinegar, or starch to the tank. Rinse the tank with clean water.

Why do water drops come out of the soleplate holes?

This can be caused by too low temperature, too short an interval between steam bursts, or a poorly closed tank. Use steam at a temperature of at least ● ● ●. Empty the tank after use.

The soleplate is dirty or brown and stains clothes, how to clean it?

Clean the soleplate with a damp soft cloth after cooling. Avoid too high temperatures and do not iron unwashed or starched clothes directly.

The spray function does not work, why?

Check that the tank contains enough water (at least 1/4). If so, press the spray button several times to prime the pump.

What type of water to use for the iron?

It is recommended to use demineralized water to prevent scaling. Never use perfumed water, vinegar, starch, or other chemicals.

How to use the Auto-Clean function?

Unplug the iron, fill the tank to maximum, plug it back in, set the temperature to maximum, wait 2-3 minutes, then place the iron over a sink and press the Auto-Clean button while gently shaking. Then leave the steam selector at maximum to drain.

What to do if the iron turns off by itself?

This is the auto shut-off function: it turns off after 30 seconds in horizontal position or 10 minutes in vertical. Move the iron or press the temperature buttons to turn it back on.

How to maintain the soleplate and the tank?

After each use, empty the tank. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth. Use the Auto-Clean function regularly if you use tap water. Never store the iron in horizontal position.

TIPS

If your Compact Generator is not equipped with the Optimal Soleplate Temperature technology, you may find the following tips useful.

• Sort the garments out according to the fabric types. This will reduce the need to adjust the temperature according to the different fabrics.
• Start with the garments that require a low ironing temperature and continue with the garments requiring higher ironing temperatures. If you are not sure about the composition of the fabric, try ironing a hidden part such as a seam, hem or internal section. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase it until you find the ideal ironing setting.
• When you reduce the Compact Generator's temperature to iron delicate garments, wait approximately 2 minutes to let the iron reach the new settings. Pure wool (100% wool) garments can be steam-ironed as long as the temperature is set to wool. We recommend using a cotton cloth to prevent any shiny marks on the garment.
• Never iron areas with obvious perspiration marks because the heat will fix the stains and make them permanent.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The European Directive 2012/19/UE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream.

Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Sort the laundry for ironing by fabric type. This will help avoid frequent temperature readjustments for different fabrics. - Start ironing with items that require the lowest temperature, and continue as the temperature increases. - If you are unsure about the fabric type of a garment, try ironing a small hidden area of the garment, such as an inside seam or an inside fold. Start ironing at a low temperature and gradually increase it, setting the optimal temperature. When you set the temperature of the iron for delicate items, wait about 2 minutes so that the iron can reach the set temperature. - Items made of pure wool (100% wool) can be ironed with steam at a temperature suitable for wool. It is recommended to iron through a cotton cloth to avoid shiny marks on the items. Never iron areas with visible stains. Note: The thermostat protects the fabric, making it non-ironable.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Fault

Possible causes / Troubleshooting methods

The soleplate remains cold and does not heat up.

• The plug is not inserted into the wall socket or there is no contact.
• Check that the temperature is not set to the minimum value.

The temperature indicator turns on and off.

The temperature indicator turning on means the iron is heating up. Once the set temperature is reached, the indicator goes out.

Steam output is too weak or no steam comes out at all.

• The steam regulator is in the off position. There is not enough water in the reservoir. Add water to the reservoir.
• The iron heats up intermittently or the anti-drip function is activated. Place the iron in an upright position on the designated stand and wait until the temperature indicator goes out, or until the anti-drip indicator lights up red. The soleplate temperature may be too low due to too frequent pressing of the steam boost button. Increase the interval between steam boost presses.

The soleplate of the iron is dirty or has scratches, which can damage clothes.

Possible scale build-up in the steam chamber. Perform descaling (see section "Cleaning and Care", section "AutoClean Function" depending on the model). Water with descaling agent, starch, anti-scale agent, starching agents, or other chemicals may have been added to the water reservoir. Remember that these substances can damage the appliance. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly. You are using starch. Starch can be used directly on the wrong side of the garments, but never pour it into the water reservoir. The laundry was poorly washed or there is residual detergent. You are ironing new, unwashed clothes.

Water droplets leak from the soleplate of the iron.

The soleplate temperature of the iron may be too low due to too frequent pressing of the steam boost button. Increase the interval between steam boost presses. The soleplate temperature of the iron is too low. You placed the iron in a horizontal position without emptying the water or without setting the steam regulator to the off position. The water tank filler cap is not closed tightly. You used the steam boost button at too low a temperature. We recommend using this function at a higher temperature. ● Water with descaling agent, starch, anti-scale agent, starching agents, or other chemicals may have been added to the water reservoir. Remember that these substances can damage the appliance. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly.

The soleplate of the iron is dirty or has darkened and may stain clothes.

• You are using the iron at too high a temperature.
• If the laundry is not sufficiently clean (see paragraph "Cleaning and care", paragraph "Cleaning"). You use starch. Starch can be used directly on the wrong side of the item and in any case never put it in the water reservoir.
• The item was poorly washed or detergent remained on it. You have added too much detergent, not yet rinsed.

The rinse function is working.

The water in the reservoir is insufficient. Add water to the reservoir.
