Frequently Asked Questions - SF1301 ALPINA

How to start the Alpina SF1301 steam iron?

Place the iron on its heel, set the temperature dial to minimum, plug it in. Select the desired temperature according to the fabric. The indicator lights up and goes off when the iron is ready.

What type of water to use in the tank?

Use tap water. Do not use vinegar or descaling agents. The iron is equipped with an anti-scale filter.

How to fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron and set the steam selector to 'dry' position. Open the funnel opening and pour water up to the maximum level (300 ml). Do not exceed the indicated level.

How to use the vertical steam function?

For hanging clothes, curtains or drapes, set the iron to a high temperature (suitable for the fabric). Hold the iron vertically and press the steam button. Pause 4 seconds between each burst.

What to do if water leaks from the soleplate?

The anti-drip system prevents water from leaking when the iron is too cold. Wait until the iron reaches the set temperature. If the problem persists, clean the iron using the self-cleaning function.

How to clean the Alpina SF1301 iron?

Unplug the iron. Use the self-cleaning function once or twice a month: hold the iron horizontally over the sink, set the steam to 'clean' and press the steam button. Then wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. Never use abrasive products.

When does the automatic shut-off function activate?

The iron has an automatic shut-off indicator light. If the iron remains stationary too long on its soleplate or on its heel, it turns off automatically for safety. To reactivate, shake it gently.

How to interpret the symbols on clothing labels?

Use the appropriate temperature: • (dot) = synthetic, low temperature; •• = silk/wool, medium; ••• = cotton/linen, high. Do not iron fabrics marked with a cross.

What to do in case of noise or smoke during first use?

This is normal: the plastic heats up for the first time. This phenomenon is temporary. Run the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it on your clothes.

How to benefit from the 2-year warranty?

Keep the warranty card and proof of purchase. In case of defect, return the product to the place of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage due to misuse or unauthorized repairs.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed:

1. Read all instructions carefully.
2. Make sure the power supply corresponds to one on the rating label.
3. To avoid electrical shock, do not immerse electrical parts in water or other liquid.
4. Do not allow children to operate or play with the appliance.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use, or before putting on/taking off parts.
6. Do not use with damaged electrical cord or plug.
7. If damaged or malfunction occurs, refer to an authorized service center only.
8. Do not place on or near hot surfaces.
9. Never pull the appliance by the power cord.
10. Do not use the appliance for other than intended household use.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For first time use, a slight emission of smoke and sounds made by the expanding plastics is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it. Both temperature dial and most items of laundry have a marking which corresponds with this code:

GARMENT LABEL FABRIC TYPE THERMOSTAT REGULATION
	synthetic low temperature
	silk - wool medium temperature
	Cotton - linen high temperature
	Fabric not to be ironed

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 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.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics. Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF

The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in the upright position or unused for approx. twenty seconds in the horizontal position. The light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the device turns off and the iron starts working again.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.STEAM IRONING Filling the reservoir
2. Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket.
3. Move the steam selector (3) to "0".
4. Open the lid (2).
5. Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing.
6. Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (15) and taking care not to go over the maximum level (about 300ml) indicated by "MAX" on the reservoir.
7. Close the lid (2).

Selecting the temperature.

Put the iron in a vertical position.
- Put the plug in the socket.
- Adjust the thermostat knob (11) according to the international symbol on the garment label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (9) 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 (9) 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 "0". As indicated on the thermostat knob (11) 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.

Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.

Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again. By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.). Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the plate temperature control light (9) comes on, than start ironing again only after the light has gone off.

DRY IRONING

To iron w/o steam, follow the instructions in section "steam ironing", leaving the steam selector (3) on position "0".

Spray Function

Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (4) slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray). Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the spray function (4), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.

SELF-CLEANING

The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it every 10-15days.

Directions:

• Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector
• Set the thermostat knob (11) to the maximum temperature and wait for the light (6) to turn off.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
• Hold the cleanout button (12) setting until all the boiling water, steam, and impurities come out.
• When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
