STEAM IRON: USE PRECAUTION AND TEMPERATURES

Always check first if a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed. Follow these ironing instructions in all cases.
If ironing instructions are missing but you know the kind of fabric, then see the table for recommended ironing temperatures.

Kind of textile	Temperature dial	Steam ironing
Synthetic (e.g. acetate, acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester...) Silk	MIN	OFF
	●
Wool	●●	● / ●●
Cotton Linen	●●● MAX	● / ●● / ●●●

• Plug in the appliance and press the power switch (12). The red pilot light (15) comes on indicating that the appliance is operating. The yellow pilot light (14) also comes on indicating that the water tank is heating.
• Set the temperature dial of the iron (9) to the desired position. The pilot light of the iron (1) will come on, indicating that the iron is heating. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out, and you can start ironing.

During ironing this pilot light (1) will come on from time to time. When this happens, the soleplate is being heated up to the required temperature again. You can continue ironing.
The table is valid for the fibre materials only. If some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle, relief etc.), the textile can best be ironed at a lower temperature. First sort out the fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Then progressively increase the temperature.
If the article is made of a mixture of different fibres, you must always select the ironing temperature corresponding to that of the fibre requiring the lowest temperature. (E.g. an article consisting of 60% polyester and 40% cotton should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester and without steam.) If you do not know the kind of fabric(s) the article has been made of, find a spot which will be invisible when wearing or using the article to try out the ironing temperature. (Always start at a low temperature and increase to one which gives the required results.)
Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. It is recommended to apply a burst of steam and use a dry pressing cloth between the woollen article and the iron.
- When ironing with steam (see paragraph "Steam ironing"), the fabric might shine. You can prevent it by ironing the reverse side of the article or interposing a slightly humid cloth between the article and the soleplate.
Velvet and other fabrics that rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction only (the one of the nap), applying only light pressure. Always keep the iron moving.
- Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk; it is not advisable to use steam as this may cause stains.

FILLING THE WATER TANK (FOR STEAM IRONING)

1. Put the base on a stable surface.
2. Press the release button (7) of the water tank and slide it forward. Open the water tank by removing the cap (6) and fill the water tank with clear water up to its "Max" level. You can use tap water, but we advise you to use demineralised water.
3. Close the cap (6) of the water tank and put the water tank back in the base correctly. Slide it backward until it is locked.
4. Never use vinegar, detergents or other chemical products.

Caution: always make sure that the anti-scale cartridge situated inside the water tank is well put into place. Never use the appliance without anti-scale cartridge.

FILLING THE WATER TANK DURING USE

As the water tank of this appliance is not under pressure, you can refill it during use. To do so, just proceed as described above in the "Filling the water tank" section.

STEAM IRONING

• Fill the water tank with water.
• As indicated on the temperature dial (9) and in the table, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures, so set the dial to or .
• Plug in the appliance and press the power switch (12) to turn on the appliance. The power light (15) of the base will come on. The yellow pilot light (14) also switches on indicating that the water tank is heating.

12TKGSIS9-100226

• Put the steam knob (11) in the desired position according to the fabric to iron (see table above). Set the temperature dial of the iron (9) to the desired position. When the iron has reached the desired temperature, its pilot light (1) will go out. You can now use the steam function.
• As soon as the yellow heating light (14) goes out, press the burst of steam button (8) to have the steam coming out of the soleplate of the iron. Caution: When you use steam for the first time, hold the steam button down for about one minute to clean out the steam producing system. During this operation, you will hear a jerky sound; this is absolutely normal. Afterwards the steam will come out normally from the soleplate. Every time you press the steam button, the green pilot light (16) will switch on indicating that steam is going through the connection cord. When you release the button, the steam will progressively stop coming out of the soleplate and the green pilot light (16) will go out. If you want a continuous jet of steam, hold the steam button pressed down.
• When ironing, the pilot light of the iron (1) will go on and off from time to time. This means that the temperature of the iron is regulated by its thermostat. You can continue ironing.
• When you use a lot of steam in a very short time, the steam output is lightly reduced until your appliance produces enough steam to make up for the difference. This phenomenon also happens when there is not enough water in the water tank.
• When the water tank is running empty, you will hear more noise when pressing the steam button. If you want to go on using the steam function, you will have to refill the water tank.

STEAMING IN A VERTICAL POSITION

You have to hang the garment you want to smooth out avoiding the creases and place the iron in a vertical position at a few centimetres from the item of clothing. Then move the iron and press the burst of steam button at the same time.

DRY IRONING

For ironing without steam, put the steam control knob (11) in "OFF" position and do not press the steam button (8).

WHEN FINISHED IRONING

• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
• It is not necessary to empty the water tank.
  We recommend placing the iron on its base when you store it. The foreseen place is non-slip and will not damage the soleplate of the iron.

ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE

• Your appliance is equipped with an anti-scale cartridge (5) located inside the water tank (4). As a result, you can use tap water as it will be filtered by the cartridge.
• It is necessary to replace the cartridge approximately every 6 months. However, this period may vary depending on the frequency of use and on the scale content of the water in your area. If the water contains much scale, you will have to replace the cartridge more frequently.
  To take the cartridge out, remove the water tank as indicated in the paragraph "Filling the water tank".
• Then remove the cartridge (5) from the water tank (4) simply by pulling it out.
  To buy a new cartridge, please contact the nearest customer service.
• Never use the appliances without anti-scale cartridge!

CLEANING

The plastic parts of the appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
To clean the soleplate of the iron, you will find specific products in the shops. Please also read the instructions of use. Never use abrasive products to clean it.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
