Frequently Asked Questions - RM/480 Ramtons

How do I clean the Ramtons RM/480 griddle after use?

Always unplug the griddle and wait for it to cool completely before cleaning. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild dish soap to wipe down the non-stick surface. For stubborn residue, let warm water soften it. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads to protect the coating.

Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?

No, using metal utensils can scratch and damage the non-stick coating. Instead, use wooden, silicone, or plastic spatulas and tongs to extend the lifespan of the griddle surface.

What is the maximum temperature setting on the RM/480?

The adjustable thermostat can reach a maximum temperature of approximately 250°C (480°F), ideal for searing meat, frying eggs, and preparing pancakes. Start with a lower setting for gentle cooking and increase as needed.

Is the Ramtons RM/480 suitable for indoor use?

Yes, this griddle is designed for indoor domestic use. Use it in a well-ventilated area, preferably on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Keep it out of reach of children during operation.

How do I adjust the temperature on the griddle?

The griddle features a thermostatic dial on the side. Turn the dial to your desired temperature setting; the indicator light will turn on when heating and off when the set temperature is reached.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to ² Ofφ."before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9. If the malfunction indicator goes on, the flatiron is not operating normally. Disconnect from the power supply and have the flatiron serviced by qualified service personnel.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

More specifically:

DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision.
NEVER immerse the iron, cable or plug in any liquid.
DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inflammable surfaces.
DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the mains when the appliance is not being used.
NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket.
DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc.).
DO NOT leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply.
DO NOT fill the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.

PLEASE NOTE!

Do not use chemical additive, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM

A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.

Please note:

Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the "Zero-Calc" anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.

Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.

PREPARATIONS

Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.

GARMENTLABEL	FABRICTYPE	THERMOSTATREGULATION
	synthetic	low temperature
	silk - wool	medium temperature
	Cotton - linen	high temperature
	Fabric not to be ironed

Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.

This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.

STEAM IRONING

Filling the reservoir

• Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
• Move the steam selector (2) to "min" [Fig. 1].
• Slowly pour the water into the reservoir with using the special measure (15) and taking care not to go over the maximum level (about 165ml) indicated by "MAX" on the reservoir [Fig. 2].

Selecting the temperature.

• Put the iron in a vertical position.
• Put the plug in the socket.
• Adjust the Temp-knob (9) according to the international symbol on the garment label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (10) indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing.

Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light (10) comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate temperature control light comes on again.

Selecting the steam.

The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).

- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1].

Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to "min". As indicated on the thermostat knob (9) and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate.

DRY IRONING

To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section "steam ironing", leaving the steam selector (3) on position "min".

CLEANING

Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not connected to the socket.

Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent.

Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.

The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.

HOW TO PUT IT AWAY

• Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
• Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
• Leave the iron to cool down completely.
• Roll up the power cord with the rewinder [Fig. 5].
• Always put the iron away in a vertical position.

ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING

We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).

If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.

If you don't know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.

Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.

The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.

To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.

To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do not press down on the iron.

The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased.

This also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.

Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.

For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
