Instructions for use

. How to use your appliance

- Make sure the steam adjustment control (C) is in position ⚙.

- Plug in the iron.

①- Set temperature using the temperature adjustment control (J). The temperature adjustment control (I) will come on. It will go out once the soleplate has reached the temperature selected.

On first use, a small amount of smoke may be given off. This is temporary and does not mean there is anything wrong with your iron.

. FILLING THE TANK

- Always unplug your iron before filling the tank.

- Make sure the steam adjustment control (C) is in fact set to position ⚙.

②- Open the lid (D) situated on the front of the iron and fill the tank via the opening.

- Never exceed the maximum level (L).

. STEAM IRONING

Depending on the model, the rate of steam flow from your iron is either fixed or variable.

③- If the flow of steam from your iron is fixed, select the setting ⚙️ on the steam adjustment control (C) (depending on model).

④- If the steam flow for your iron is variable, select this by setting the steam adjustment control (C) to the desired zone (depending on model).

Please note: Steam ironing is only possible in the steam zone indicated on the temperature adjustment control (J).

. DRY IRONING

- Adjust the steam adjustment control (C) to the setting ⚙️.

. SPRAY

⑤ - Press the spray button (E) in pulses. A spray of cold water enables you to dampen your laundry whether you are ironing dry or with steam. Very effective in getting rid of a crease!

. PRESSING (depending on model)

⑥ - Push the pressing button (F). Your iron will then instantly release a high-powered jet of steam.

Notes:

- Do not exceed 5 successive pulses, in order to prevent your iron from dripping.

- Always use this function in the steam zone indicated on the temperature adjustment control (J).

- When you use the pressing function for the first time, small fragments of scale may come out of with the jet of steam via the holes in the soleplate. We therefore advise that you do not make the first presses directly above your laundry.

. PERFECTPOINT (depending on model)

⑦- Press button (G). Your iron will instantly release a high-powered jet of steam, concentrated on the zone in front of the soleplate, for reaching difficult places (armholes, buttonholes, etc.).

⑧. VERTICAL CREASE REMOVAL (depending on model)

You also have the option of using your iron in the vertical position to remove creases from your clothes on a hanger, curtains, etc.

For models without the Perfectpoint system:

- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to «MAX» setting.

- Hold the iron in the vertical position close to the fabric, without touching it. Push the pressing button (F) at the rate of not more than one pulse per second.

For models with the Perfectpoint system:

- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to «MAX» setting.

- Hold the iron in the vertical position close to the fabric, without touching it. Press the Perfectpoint button (G) ⚙ at the rate of not more than one pulse per second.

Notes:

• You can use up to 5 pulses in the vertical position. Put down your iron for a few seconds before resuming crease removal.
• The steam produced is not always visible, but still retains its ability to remove creases.

Important: Never use this function for synthetic fibres. Keep the iron far away enough from the fabric to avoid any risk of scorching. As the steam produced is very hot, never remove creases from a garment which is being worn by someone - it must always be on a hanger.

. "AQUA STOP" (drip-stop system) (depending on model)

This system controls the temperature of the soleplate at all times. Below a certain temperature, the “Aqua Stop” system cuts off the flow of water and stops the iron from dripping onto the laundry.

. ANTICALC SYSTEM (anti-scale system) (depending on model)

This fixed system, located within the tank, reduces the problems linked with scale build-up.

To prolong the effectiveness of this system, we advise that you perform the following operation approximately once every 30 uses: The iron is cold and unplugged.

• Completely dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt (NaCl - cooking salt) in 1/2 litre of cold water.
• Fill the tank with this mixture and leave it to act for 15 minutes.
• Empty the tank.
• Repeat the same operation with the remaining mixture.
• Then fill the tank with fresh water to rinse and empty it.

Maintenance

. AUTO-CLEANING

In order to reduce the formation of scale, Moulinex has integrated an auto-cleaning system into your iron, which we advise you to operate at regular intervals. Please follow these steps:

- The iron should be cold and unplugged.

• Set the steam adjustment control (C) to position ✗.

• Fill the tank up to the maximum level.

• Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to MAX. Plug in the iron. As soon as the temperature adjustment indicator (I) goes out, unplug the iron and place it over the sink. Turn the steam adjustment control (C) to the auto-clean position A and hold down the control. Allow the tank to empty. The mixture of water/steam will carry away the scale residues contained in the soleplate.

• Then reset the steam adjustment control (C) to position ⚙.
• Using slow, deliberate movements, swing the iron from left to right to give the soleplate a good rinse and to remove the water remaining in the soleplate. Empty the iron.
• Plug in the iron again in order to dry the soleplate: perform this operation over a cloth (watch out for water splashes or steam being ejected).
• After this operation, unplug the iron once more.
• Clean the soleplate on a cloth made of thick, clean, damp cotton, before putting away the iron or before using it again (iron cold).

Storage

After each use:

• Unplug the iron.
• Empty the water tank.
• Set the steam adjustment control (C) to position ⚙.
• Allow the iron to cool down then wind the power cable by making a loop of about 10 cm starting from the iron.
• Store it on its heel.

Ironing guide

WHAT TEMPERATURE TO USE

Please refer to the labels on your laundry to find out the composition of the fabrics or ironing instructions.

Ironing Types of Thermostat instructions fabric
	Synthetic fibres: acrylic, polyamide, polyesterArtificial fibres: viscose	■
	Natural animal fibres: wool, silk	■■
	Natural vegetable fibres : ■■ cotton
	thick cotton, linen MAX
	Warning: Do not iron this article.

. If the fabrics are made of various types of textile, adjust the temperature control to the lowest recommended temperature. If you cannot determine the composition of the fabrics from the label, do a test on a part of the garment which will not be seen, starting at the lowest temperature.
. Sort your laundry before ironing, grouping the same types of textile. The iron heats up more quickly than it cools down, so start by ironing the laundry requiring the lowest temperature and continue to higher temperatures (see table above).
. Wool mixes can be steam-ironed. To prevent the soleplate of your iron coming into direct contact with the wool, place a dry cloth over the fabric to be ironed. You can also iron these items on the reverse.
. to avoid making delicate fabrics shiny (silk, velvet, viscose, etc.) or for fabrics with impressions (transfer, flocking, etc.), iron on the reverse.
. As some marks may be fixed by a high temperature, it is preferable only to iron your laundry once all marks and stains have been completely removed.

WHAT KIND OF WATER IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN YOUR STEAM IRON?

. Tap water, if it is not too hard (see equivalence table below):

Example of water considered to be hard

France G	Germany United	Kingdom International	3 mmol/l or 6 mEq/l
30°f	17°d	21°e

• To find out the precise hardness of your tap water, contact your Town Hall or your water company.
  . Commercially available demineralised water.

. Commercially available distilled water. Our advice: distilled water or demineralised + tap water (half and half) if your water is hard. We strongly recommend that you do not use any other kind of water.

Do not put any additives into the water in your iron's tank.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

. Maintenance of the soleplate

• Clean it at regular intervals. The longer you wait to clean the soleplate, the harder it will be to remove any marks
• Never scratch the soleplate and do not use aggressive or abrasive products to clean it.

Traces of water, starch or lime

When the iron is cold, rub with a thick cotton cloth soaked in wine vinegar. Rinse immediately with water and dry.

Stuck-on textiles

- Allow your iron to cool (30 minutes at least) after unplugging it, then plug it in again and set the thermostat to the MAXI setting. Once the iron is hot, place on an ironing board a clean, thick cotton cloth and rub the soleplate of your iron on it vigorously. For greater effectiveness, you can place your cloth on the edge of the board. Do not forget to clean the sides of the soleplate.

Scratches

To keep the stainless steel, chrome or anti-stick soleplate of your iron in good condition and to avoid scratches and dirty marks:

• never put the soleplate down on a rough or abrasive surface
• do not iron the metallic parts (zips, etc.) of your laundry.

. Maintenance of the iron (autoclean function) for 3 hours of ironing per week:

- If your tap water is not very hard, Moulinex recommends that you perform this cleaning function at regular intervals about once every 3 months.

- Otherwise, we recommend that you mix your tap water with distilled or demineralised water and perform a cleaning operation once a month.

Note: When your water causes brown marks, this means it contains organic residues. You should then clean the iron. If these marks persist, it would be best to change the type of water you use.

Moulinex strongly recommends that you do not use descaling products (powder or liquid) to descale your iron.
