BEFORE STARTING TO IRON

i Make sure you have removed the soleplate protector before starting to iron. 1 With your CVG unplugged, open the filler cap turning it upwards (fig 1). i Due to the high level of water hardness in most areas, Solac recommends that you always use distilled or demineralised water for ironing. You will thus guarantee that your CVG stays in perfect condition for as long as possible. If you cannot find distilled water for any reason, be sure to use water that is low in minerals (soft). Do not put any type of scale remover solvents or products in the water tank. Do not use perfumed or ironing water either. These products can damage the interior of the steam generation system. 2 Fill the tank without exceeding the maximum level using the beaker provided (8) and keeping the CVG upright. After the tank is full, close the cap (1).

‹ Keep the water-filling hole lid (1) closed during operation. 3 Check the garment to be ironed to see if it has a label that indicates the ironing temperature. We recommend that you classify garments by their required ironing temperature and that you begin ironing with the garments that require the lowest temperature ( • ).

SILK, WOOL, SYNTHETIC FIBRES, minimum temperature (•) POLYESTER, medium temperature (••) COTTON, max. temperature (•••) LINEN, maximum temperature (MAX) i NB: Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than necessary is harmful for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get stuck to the soleplate. i If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment, perform a test on a part which won’t be seen, beginning with the lowest temperature settings. Woolmark: The wool cycle of this iron has been approved by The Woolmark for the ironing of pure wool products provided that the products are to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by this iron.

MAIN COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES

BOOKCVG9900.book Page 13 Friday, April 16, 2010 1:59 PM OPERATION Designed exclusively for ironing clothes. Do not use it for other purposes.‹If the appliance is hot, handle it carefully and do not touch the hotplate.‹Never leave the CVG with the hotplate in a horizontal position. Stand it upright whenyou are not ironing. 1 Extend the cable fully and plug in the appliance. Stand the CVG upright. A buzzer will sound and all the icons on the screen will be displayed, indicating that the appliance is working correctly. The icons and (fig. 1A) will then start to flicker. When the CVG reaches the selected temperature, the icons will light up continuously. (fig. 1B). 2 Select the desired working temperature according to the garment to be ironed (see “TEMPERATURE SELECTION (fig. 2)”). 3 Select ironing with steam function (medium or maximum) or ironing without steam function, as required (see STEAM SELECTION (fig. 3)”). 4 If you wish, you can lock the touchscreen to prevent the accidental activation or deactivation of any function. To do so: Without touching the handle, press the temperature selector for more than 3 seconds (5). (fig. 4). The icon will light up. 5 To unlock the touchscreen, press the temperature selector (5) once again, without touching the CVG's handle. The icon will disappear. 6 Take the CVG by the handle and move the hotplate over the garment to be ironed.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION (fig. 2) The CVG has 4 temperature positions for you to choose between, by pressing the temperature selector (5). 1 Press the temperature selector (5) as many times as necessary until the desired temperature level is displayed. i The corresponding icon will flicker until the temperature selected has been reached. Once this temperature has been reached, the icon will light up continuously. STEAM SELECTION (fig. 3) The CVG has two steam positions; medium steam (35 gr/min) and maximum steam (60 gr/ min). To select the desired steam level: 1 Press the steam selector (6) as many times as necessary until the desired steam flow icon is displayed (medium (fig. 3A) or maximum (fig. 3B)). Steam will start to be emitted. If the steam selector is selected without having reached the desired temperature, the steam selector icon and temperature icon selected will flicker until the working temperature is reached (fig. 3C). Once this temperature has been reached, they will no longer flicker simultaneously and steam will start to be emitted. 2 To stop the emission of steam, press the steam selector again (6) until the icon is displayed, and steam will stop being emitted automatically.

PRESENCE SENSOR The CVG has a presence sensor which stops the emission of steam immediately after detecting lack of contact on the handle. This ensures lower power consumption as well as greater autonomy of the tank (lower water consumption). The steam function switches back on automatically when taking hold of the CVG handle. OPERATION

BOOKCVG9900.book Page 14 Friday, April 16, 2010 1:59 PM i When taking your hand off the handle, the steam selector is not deactivated. Steam emission is only temporarily cut off until contact is detected once again on the handle. The screen continues to display the steam selector icon selected.

TEMPORARY SWITCH OFF

For temporary switch off during ironing. 1 Without touching the handle, press the steam selector for 3 seconds (6) (fig. 5). All the icons will light up momentarily and a buzzer sound. All the icons on the display will then disappear. 2 Press the steam selector (5) for 3 seconds to switch on the CVG again. All the icons will light up momentarily and a buzzer sound. The CVG will be situated at Position and with the steam selector deactivated

AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF: AUTO - PAUSE

The CVG has an automatic switch off system. It is switched off automatically 3 minutes after the last time it was used. This means that once the device is activated, the CVG no longer heats up and begins to cool down. All the icons will light up momentarily and a buzzer sound. All the icons on the screen will then disappear except the icon, which flickers indicating that the appliance has been switched off. To activate it again, simply take hold of the handle or touch the temperature selectors (5) or steam selector (6). A buzzer will sound and the CVG will return to the temperature and steam position selected before it was switched off. Remember that the period between being switched off and switched back on again will affect the time that the CVG may need to regain the temperature selected previously.

IRONING RECOMMENDATIONS STEAM IRONING The operation of this model is similar to a professional iron so you can iron with a continuous flow of steam from Position without any water dripping. We recommend you iron first with steam and then go over the clothes dry to remove moisture and obtain results that are comparable to professional ironing.

ECONOMIC IRONING For more efficient use and lower power consumption, SOLAC recommends the ECO ironing position. 1 Press the temperature selector (5) as many times as necessary until the icon displayed. When the CVG is switched on, it starts by default at Position 2 If you wish, press the steam selector (6) as many times as necessary until the desired steam selector icon is displayed (no steam , medium steam or maximum steam

i The possibility of ironing with steam at a low temperature allows you to iron a large number of garments without having to increase the working temperature, with the resulting energy saving.

IRONING RECOMMENDATIONS BOOKCVG9900.book Page 15 Friday, April 16, 2010 1:59 PM VERTICAL IRONING It enables you to remove creases from delicate garments without having to lay them on the ironing board: jackets, coats, curtains, suede garments, etc. 1 Place the garment on a hanger, away from other garments, persons… 2 Select the desired ironing temperature, pressing the temperature selector (5) as many times as necessary. Stand the CVG upright. 3 Press the steam selector (6) once or twice, defending on the flow of steam desired (medium or maximum

i At Position (••) you will obtain a more humid visible steam which will be easier to see, whereas at Position (•••) and (MAX) the steam is drier and, although the same flow is maintained, will be less visible.

FILLING WITH WATER

If while ironing the tank runs out of water, the CVG will emit different light signals depending on the steam selector activated at the time:

• Steam selector deactivated:

• Medium steam selector activated: lit up continuously and flicker
• Maximum steam selector activated: lit up continuously and flicker 1 Switch off the CVG, keep it upright and fill the tank using the beaker (8) provided. Dry the CVG with a dry cloth if any of the water spills out of the tank. If the appliance were to run out of water completely with the steam selector activated, you would hear a strange noise from the micro-pump. Switch off the steam selector to prevent any damage to the system. Switch off the appliance and fill the water tank. When switching it on again, this noise will disappear.

OTHER FUNCTIONS ANTICALC SYSTEM The CVG is fitted with an innovative anticalc system consisting of a resin filter, which retains the limy substances in the water, preventing these from reaching the steam chamber in the soleplate and thereby extending the life of your CVG. The existence of this anticalc system does not mean you can ignore the advice on water hardness mentioned in the “BEFORE STARTING TO IRON” section.

CLEANING AND CONSERVATION

SOLE-PLATE 1 Unplug the iron and let it cool down. i Use environment-friendly clay-based products to clean the sole-plate. OUTSIDE 1 To clean the outside of your CVG, use a cloth moistened in soapy water. i Do not clean with abrasive chemical products or solvents as it may attack certain plastic parts and / or remove some of the marks and / or indications. 2 Store your CVG in the vertical position, wind the cord round the heel and secure it with the clip. Although the power cord is fitted with a 360º rotational elbow, NEVER FORCE this cord when winding it around the appliance on the first turn.
