Due to the high levels of mains water hard- ness in most areas, Solac recommends that you always use demineralised water for iro- ning. In this way, you will guarantee that your iron remains in optimal condition for a longer period of time. Do not use decalcifying agents or descaling products in the water tank. Do not use scen- ted water or ironing water either. These pro- ducts damage the interior of the steam gene- ration system. 1 With the iron unplugged from the mains, rota- te the steam selector (10) to the closed posi- tion (g. 2). 2 Open the water ller opening (5). Fill the wa- ter tank without exceeding the maximum le- vel, using the water beaker provided (12) and keeping the iron in the vertical position (Fig. 1). When the tank is full, close the cap.. +When lling the tank, make sure that the wa- ter does not overow from the water ller ope- ning. 3 Check whether the garment to be ironed has a label indicating the ironing tempera. +We recommend you classify the garments ac- cording to their required ironing temperature and begin with the garments ironed on the lowest temperature(•) SYNTHETIC FIBRES, minimum temperature (•) SILK, WOOL, medium temperature (••) COTTON, high temperature (•••) LINEN, MAX temperature NOTE: Ironing delicate garments at a tempe- rature higher than necessary spoils the fabric and causes burnt residue to stick to the sole- plate. If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment, perform a test on a part, which will not be visible, beginning with the lowest temperature settings USE +This appliance has been designed exclusively for ironing clothes. Do not use it for any other purpose. +Completely remove all the elements use for transportation and packaging. If the appliance is hot, handle it with care and do not touch the metal soleplate.. Never leave the iron in a horizontal position when the soleplate is hot. Rest it on its rear PV2013_plancha.indd 10 15/7/16 15:59EN end. Take care with the steam; do not aim it at peo- ple, animals or delicate objects. Always iron on stable, solid and smooth sur- faces. +For very delicate garments, place a cloth be- tween the iron and the delicate garment to avoid potential markings from the soleplate.. 1 Extend the cord completely and plug it into the mains. The temperature pilot light will turn on (11). Place the iron in the vertical position. 2 Select the desired operating temperature ac- cording to the garment you wish to iron (see “TEMPERATURE SELECTION (g. 4)”). 3 Select steam ironing (medium or maximum) or dry ironing as appropriate (see “STEAM SELECTION”). 4 Hold the iron by the handle, and slide the so- leplate over the garment to be ironed. 5 After using the iron, set the steam selector (10) to the closed position and the tempera- ture selector (9) to position 0. 6 Unplug the power cord from the mains. 7 Empty the water tank (see “EMPTYING THE WATER TANK”). Wait until the iron is comple- tely cold and store it in the vertical position in a safe place.

+Before using it for the rst time, use the appliance to iron an old cloth or clothing, to clean the system. 1 Set the temperature selector (9) to the Max position and wait a few minutes for the iron to reach the appropriate temperature (the tem- perature pilot light will go out). 2 Rotate the steam selector (10) until it is in the completely open position (g. 3): steam will start to come out of the orices in the solepla- te. 3 Hold the iron by the handle and slide the sole- plate over the old towel. 4 When the water tank is empty, no more steam will be produced. The iron is ready for use. +Do not worry if the iron gives off a little smoke when used for the rst time. This will go away quickly.

1 Turn the temperature selector (9) until it is in the desired position. +When changing the position of the temperatu- re selector (9), to either increase or reduce the temperature, several minutes must pass befo- re the iron reaches the selected temperature. +When the selected temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out (11). STEAM SELECTION To obtain steam, set the temperature selector (9) between the levels •• and Max, depending on the garment to be ironed. The iron has 3 steam positions (dry ironing , me- dium steam ow or maximum steam ow ) 1 When the pilot light (11) goes out, indicating that the desired temperature has been rea- ched, rotate the steam selector (10) until the desired steam ow is obtained (g. 5).

+When you nish ironing, always empty the water from the tank. 1 Set the steam selector (10) to the closed posi- tion and the temperature selector (9) to the 0 position. 2 Unplug the plug from the mains. 3 Open the water ller opening (5) and place the iron face down over the sink, gentlyshaking it to completely empty the tank. 4 Wait until the iron is completely cold and store it in the vertical position in a safe place. IRONING RECOMMENDATIONS STEAM IRONING For professional ironing results, we recom- mend you steam iron garments rst and then dry iron them. SUPERSTEAM +If you want more steam while ironing, press the button (8) two or three times, aim the su- persteam at the desired area of the garment and pass the iron soleplate over it to dry it. Thus is useful for eliminating wrinkles. +The supersteam may not be released on the rst occasions. This is normal. Press the push-button a couple of times. Once the su- persteam circuit has been primed, the jet of steam will be released

• We recommend pressing the control at 5-se- cond intervals. VERTICAL STEAM +This allows you to remove creases from deli- cate garments without having to put them on the ironing board: jackets, overcoats, curtains, PV2013_plancha.indd 11 15/7/16 15:59etc. 1 Fill the water tank as explained in the “BEFO- RE STARTING TO IRON” section. 2 Place the garment on a hanger, well away from other garments, people, animals, etc. Do not discharge steam onto a garment han- ging in the wardrobe or on a person. 3 Set the steam control (10) to the closed po- sition and the temperature selector (9) to the Max position.

4. Bring the iron close to the garment, in the

vertical position,( between 15 and 30 cm) and press the supersteam button (8) once only. Do not position the iron too close to the garment, because you could damage it.

5. Wait a few seconds before pressing the button

(8) again, so as not to damage the garment. Most wrinkles can be eliminated with three sprays of stea. DRy IRONING 1 If there is water in the tank, turn the steam selector (10) to the closed position (g. 2). 2 Plug in the iron and set the temperature selec- tor (9) to the desired position. The pilot light (11) will go off when the tempe- rature is reached. IRONINg WITH sPRAY +Spray can be obtained by pressing the corre- sponding button (7) when dry ironing or iron- ing with steam. The iron is at any temperature level

• Press the spray button (7) as many times as you want to use this function. 3D soleplate:

• Ceramic soleplate with active tip, equipped with a metal body ideal for professional iro- ning of shirt collars,pockets, trouser creases, etc. Caution. The skirt is an active area of the soleplate, so it will be hot while ironing.

• 3D Ironing is a way to help with ironing, use it to iron delicate areas like shirt cuffs, pockets or skirt and trouser hems. Do not make direct contact with the skin, and wait for the iron to cool down completely before touching it. OTHER FUNCTIONS ANTI-LIMESCALE SySTEM This iron has an innovative built-in anti-limescale system, consisting of a resin lter that retains the limescale substances from the water, so these cannot reach the steam chamber of the soleplate, thus extending the life of the iron. The existence of this anti-limescale system does not mean that the recommendations about wa- ter hardness mentioned in the “BEFORE STAR- TING TO IRON” section can be ignored . ANTI-DRIP SySTEM The iron incorporates an anti-drip system that prevents the iron from dripping, even when it is switched ofa.

STORAGE AND CLEANING

+Clean the appliance after using it for the rst time, immediately after each use and after a long time without use. SOLEPLATE 1 Disconnect the iron and allow the soleplate to cool down. Use clay-based, environmentally friendly products to clean the solep. EXTERNAL PART 1 To clean the external part of your iron, use a cloth dampened with soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products to clean your iron, as these could damage some of the plastic parts and/or remove some of the marks. 2 Store your iron in a vertical position, coiling the cord around the base and pressing the ca- ble into the xing clip. +Although the power cord is tted with a 360º swivel piece, NEVER FORCE this cord when coiling it around the appliance on the rst turn. SELF-CLEANING +It is advisable to carry out the self-cleaning operation about once a month, depending on the frequency of use and the hardness of the water used 1 Ensure that the tank is half lled with water. 2 Place the iron in the vertical position. 3 Plug in the iron and turn the temperature se- lector (9) to the Max position. 4 Wait for the pilot light to go off (11) indicating that the desired temperature has been rea- ched. 5 Turn the temperature selector (9) to the 0 po- sition and unplug the iron from the mains. 6 Place the iron in the horizontal position over a sink or an appropriatecontainer and press the selfclean button (12), keeping the iron in thisposition and swinging it gently from side to side. Steam and water willcome out from the holes in the iron, ushing out dirt and impuri-

PV2013_plancha.indd 12 15/7/16 15:59ties. Swing the iron gently from side to side. Steam and water will come out of the holes in the iron, ushing out dirt and impurities (g. 6-7). Be careful when performing this operation, as the water and steam are very hot and can cause burns. 7 Place the iron in the vertical position and wait for it to cool completely.

8. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.
