Frequently Asked Questions - SIS 40516 KALORIK

How to use the iron for the first time?

Before first use, fill the water tank, plug in the appliance, turn on the boiler and iron, set the thermostat to LINEN and steam to MAX. Let it heat for 10 minutes, then hold the iron vertically and press the steam jet button for 30 seconds. Repeat this cycle twice. Then turn off, let cool, and clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.

What type of water to use in the tank?

You can use tap water. However, to avoid scale buildup and extend the life of the appliance, it is recommended to use demineralized or distilled water. Never use vinegar, descaler, or other chemicals.

Why is white powder coming out of the soleplate?

This is normal during first uses. This powder comes from manufacturing residues and is not harmful. It will disappear after a few uses.

What to do if water drips from the soleplate during steam ironing?

At the beginning of use, steam may condense into water because the generator is still cold. This disappears after a few seconds. To avoid drops on laundry, start by ironing an old garment or cloth.

How to adjust temperature and steam for each fabric type?

Use the thermostat: MIN position for synthetic and silk, ●● for wool, ●●● for cotton and linen. Steam is only available at high temperature (●● or ●●●). Adjust the steam regulator on the base according to your needs. For delicate fabrics, prefer low temperature and no steam.

How to use the vertical steaming function?

Hang the garment, hold the iron vertically a few centimeters from the fabric. Press the steam jet button (or lock it) and move the iron up and down without touching the garment. The distance and amount of steam depend on the fabric type and the depth of the wrinkles.

How to clean the iron soleplate?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Clean the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. Never use abrasive pads or metal sponges. You can use a specific iron soleplate cleaner.

When and how to replace the anti-scale cartridge?

The cartridge must be replaced every 6 months or every 120 hours of use. To remove it, open the tank and take out the cartridge. Soak the new cartridge in water for a few minutes before installing it. Never use the appliance without the cartridge. To purchase one, contact Kalorik after-sales service.

What to do in case of failure or malfunction?

First consult the troubleshooting table in the manual: white powder (normal), dripping water (normal at first), no steam (check that the boiler is on and there is water), dirty soleplate (clean it). If the problem persists, contact Kalorik customer service before returning the appliance.

What is the product warranty and how to activate it?

The product has a one-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Keep the original proof of purchase. For repair, contact Kalorik customer service to obtain a return authorization number. The warranty does not cover damage due to misuse.

CAUTION BEFORE FIRST USE

• Please read all of the instructions for use and the "Important Safeguards" carefully.
• The iron has been greased, and as a result, the iron may slightly smoke when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
• Before using for the first time, remove all packaging from the appliance.
• Before the first use, we recommend cleaning the iron as follows: fill the water tank and plug the appliance into an outlet. Press the boiler power switch and the iron power switch. Put the temperature dial on the "LINEN" position and the steam regulator on MAX. Let the iron heat for 10 minutes. When the iron is hot, lift it from its base, hold it vertically, and keep the steam button pressed for 30 seconds, then wait 30 seconds and repeat this cycle twice.

Switch the appliance OFF (set the boiler power switch and the iron power switch in the off-position), unplug it, and let it cool. You can then clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.

HINTS

• Before using the appliance for the first time, hold the iron away from your clothes and press the steam control trigger several times consecutively. This will remove any cold water from the steam connection cord. This should also be done if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes while the appliance is in use.
• For best results, use a mesh-type ironing board to allow excess steam to escape.

IRONING: PRECAUTION FOR USE AND TEMPERATURES

• Before ironing, always be sure to check the ironing instructions on all fabric labels. Follow these ironing instructions.
• If ironing instructions are missing, you may reference the following table for recommended ironing temperatures by fabric type:

Kind of textile Temperature dial Steam Ironing
Synthetic (e.g. acetate, acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester...)Silk		NO
Wool		YES
	|
CottonLinen		YES
	MAX

- The table is valid for fiber materials only. If a finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkle relief etc.), the textile can best be ironed at a lower temperature.

- You should sort fabrics according to ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.

- The iron heats up more rapidly than it cools down. Therefore, we recommend that you start ironing articles requiring lower temperatures first (such as those made of synthetic fibers), then progress to those requiring higher temperatures.

- If an article is made of a mixture of different fibers, you should always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition of those fibers. For example an item consisting of “60% polyester and 40% cotton” should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester and without steam.

- If you will be ironing delicate fabrics or if you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article is made of, test the ironing temperature on a small, inconspicuous part of the fabric. Always start at a low temperature and increase as needed.

- Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. It is recommended that you set the selector switch to the "Cotton" position, apply shot-of-steam, and use a dry pressing cloth.

- When steam-ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabrics may occur. This can be prevented by turning the articles inside out and ironing the inside or by placing a thin, damp cloth between the fabric and the iron.

• Velvet and other textures that rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction only (with the nap), applying only light pressure. Always keep the iron moving on these fabrics.
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk. It is not advisable to use steam as this may cause stains.
• When you have been ironing fabrics at a high setting, do not switch to ironing articles that require a lower temperature immediately afterwards. Adjust the selector switch to a lower setting and wait until the iron has cooled to the desired temperature.

DRY PRESSING (WITHOUT STEAM)

• Plug the appliance into an outlet. Turn the variable steam dial (10) to position.
• Press on the iron switch (9).
• Set the temperature dial for the desired fabric. Always check the label of the garment before choosing the temperature setting.
• Leave the iron on its rest and wait until the temperature indicator light goes out before starting to iron.
• Leave the steam generation switch (11) in the OFF position.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

• Put the base on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface.
• Open the cap of the water tank and fill the water tank with clear water up to its "MAX" level. Do not fill beyond this maximum level! You can use tap water, but we advise you to use distilled water for the best long-term performance.
• Close the lid of the water tank.
• Never add vinegar, detergents, or other chemical products to the water as this could damage the appliance. See the "Cleaning" section of this guide for more details.

FILLING THE WATER TANK DURING USE

When the water tank (1) is empty, the water refill indicator (8) will light up. Since the water tank is not pressurized, you can refill it during use. To do so, proceed as described above in the "Filling with water" section. You can resume ironing immediately.

STEAM IRONING

Before plugging the unit into an outlet, always check that the steam control trigger (4) is not in locked position.

• Fill the water tank as described in the section above with water and insert the power plug into a wall socket.
• As indicated on the temperature dial and in the table on page 6, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures. Set the dial to ●● or ●●●.
• Place the iron on the iron rest.
• Turn and adjust the temperature control dial until you reach the steam symbol.
• Completely unwind the cord and plug into an outlet.
  • If you intend to iron with steam, press both switches (9) and (11).
• The steam indicator light (12) will be off until the required temperature is reached. Wait for the light (12) to go on before steam ironing.
• The iron's temperature indicator light (6) will turn on. It will go off as soon as the desired temperature is reached. During ironing, this temperature indicator light will come on from time to time. When this happens, the soleplate is being re-heated to the required temperature. You can continue ironing while this happens.
• Press the steam button (4) to release a burst of steam from the soleplate of the iron. Release the button and the steam will stop. If you want a continuous jet of steam, you can hold the steam button down or slide its purple top part backwards so that the steam button locks. To stop the continuous jet of steam, push the purple part of the button forward again and release the steam button.
• You can adjust the steam control knob (10) to regulate the amount of steam generated by the base. Note: the maximum

steam rate ("MAX") can only be used when the ironing temperature is set on the highest position (●●●) or else water may drip from the soleplate.

• While ironing, the iron's pilot light (6) will go on and off from time to time. This means that the temperature of the iron is being regulated by the thermostat. You may continue ironing as it adjusts itself.
• When you use a lot of steam in a very short time, the steam output is slightly reduced until your appliance produces enough steam to maximize output. 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. When the water tank is empty, the refill indicator (8) will light up. If you want to continue using the steam function, you must refill the water tank. The water refill indicator will go out once the water tank has been filled.

Note: when you start using the steam function, it is normal for the electrical pump to make vibrating sounds. This is due to the air inside the anti-lime scale cartridge and will lessen when the air has been pumped out. If the noise has not lessened after 60 seconds, check to see if the cartridge has been assembled correctly.

VERTICAL IRONING

The "burst of steam" button also allows you to iron delicate articles of clothing vertically. To use the "vertical burst of steam" feature, first hang your article of clothing on a hanger. Keep the steam button (4) pressed or locked with the sliding trigger lock and move the iron back and forth in front of the article of clothing. Make sure that the soleplate does not come into contact with the fabric! The amount of steam required and the distance between the soleplate and the article of clothing depends on the kind of fabric and the depth of the wrinkles.

WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED IRONING

- Turn the temperature dial on the iron to "MIN", switch the iron (11) and the steam generator (9) off, and unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.

• Leave the iron on the iron rest. The non-slip iron rest is specially designed for this and will not damage the soleplate.
• Wait for the appliance to cool before storing it away.

ANTI-LIMESCALE FEATURE

There is a replaceable decalcification cartridge inside the unit's water tank that absorbs unsolvable calcium ions. It also emits solvable sodium ions that soften water, which greatly slows the process of mineral deposits.

• Your appliance features an anti-scale cartridge that is located in the water tank.
• You must replace the cartridge every six months or after every 120 hours of ironing, whichever comes first. This period can vary according to the iron's frequency of use and in your local area's water scale rate. If the water is hard, you will have to change the cartridge more frequently.
• You can delay the replacement of the cartridge by using distilled water or a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water.
• To take it out, open the water tank and lift the cartridge out of the water tank. When you put a new anti-scale cartridge in the water tank, immerse it in water for some time before using the appliance to obtain a better performance.
• To obtain a new cartridge, contact Kalorik's after-sales service.
• NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT ITS CARTRIDGE.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Clean the iron regularly according to water hardness and frequency of use.
• nplug the appliance and allow it to cool down.
  • To clean the plastic parts of the iron, use a damp cloth.
• To clean the soleplate, use a damp cloth or a product made specifically for this purpose. Never use abrasive products.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible	cause Solution
A white powder comes out of the soleplate.	This is normal when the iron is new.	The powder is not harmful and will disappear after a few uses.
Water drips from the soleplate while steam ironing.	When you start steam ironing, the steam connection tube is still cold; the iron is not hot enough.	This is normal; after a few seconds, the steam jet will be OK. You can put the iron on an old cloth to start so that the water is absorbed; set the iron to a higher temperature.
No steam comes out.	The boiler power switch has not been turned on or there is not enough water in the water tank.	Press the boiler power switch or fill the water tank and wait until the indicator light turns off.
No visible steam comes out of the iron when the steam button is pressed.	When ironing at a very high temperature, steam may be faint and hard to see.	Put a mirror under the soleplate to check if steam comes out.
The soleplate is dirty.	Impurities in the water adhered to the soleplate or the temperature is set too high for the fabric.	Clean the soleplate with a soft, damp cloth; adjust the temperature to fit the article of clothing.
