Frequently Asked Questions - SIS 3 TEAM

How to fill the water tank?

Place the base on a stable surface, open the tank cap and fill with clean water without exceeding the MAX level. You can also remove the removable tank to fill it. Close the cap and replace the tank correctly. Never use vinegar or chemical products.

How to use the continuous steam function?

Slide the lock button (1) forward until it locks. Steam comes out continuously. To stop, slide the button backward to unlock.

What to do if the base indicator light flashes?

The flashing indicates initialization mode. Wait until the light stays on steady (operation mode). This means the temperature needed for steam is reached. You can then use the steam.

How to adjust the steam flow?

Press the adjustment button (9). Each press changes the flow in order: low, medium, high. A beep sounds and the corresponding indicator light illuminates. To return to low, press once more.

INSTALLATION

• To avoid that the appliance falls, it is possible to attach it to a table or other stable surface with the fixing bracket (14) supplied. To do so, insert the metal pole into the whole foreseen for that purpose in the back of the appliance and make sure that the plastic plate of the bracket is underneath the table or other surface (see step 1, page 5). Then tighten the screw situated under the plate until the plate is tightened properly against the table or other surface. It should not be possible to move the appliance. (see step 2, page 5).
  To remove the fixing bracket, proceed inversely.

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	NO
	●
Wool	●●	or
Cotton Linen	●●● MAX	or

• Plug in the appliance. The power light (5) will come on, indicating that the appliance is supplied. The base is now in standby mode. To be able to operate the iron, press the reset button (8) so that the base comes in initial mode and then in working mode (see "Steam Ironing" section below). Set the temperature dial of the iron (4) to the desired position. The pilot light of the iron (3) will come on, indicating that the iron is heating. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out, you can start ironing.

During ironing this pilot light (3) 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 make of synthetic fibres. Then progress to the higher temperatures.

If the article is made of a mixture of different fibre, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition of those fibres. (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 what kind(s) 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 shot-of-steam and use a dry pressing cloth.

When steam-ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. This can be prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the inside or by interposing a light damp cloth.

• 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.
• Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk, it is not advisable to use steam as this may cause stains.

FILLING WITH WATER (FOR STEAM-IRONING)

1. Put the base on a stable surface.
2. Open the cap of the water tank and fill it 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 of the water tank

or

1. You can detach the water tank by lifting it, and then fill it as described by steps 2 and 3 above.
2. Put the water tank back in the base correctly. Caution, if the water tank is not positioned correctly, a safety device will prevent the pump from operating and as a result, it will prevent the steam production. If this happens, check whether the water tank is placed correctly on the base.
3. Never use vinegar, detergents or other chemical products.

Caution: always make sure that the anti-scale cartridge situated underneath the water tank is well 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 dos o, just proceed as described above in the "Filling with water" section).

STEAM-IRONING

• Fill the water tank with water and insert the mains plug into a wall socket.
• As indicated on the temperature dial (4) and the table, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures, so set the dial to or .
• When you plug in the appliance, the power light (5) of the control panel will go on and will stay on permanently (= standby mode) whereas the pilot light (6) will be off. Pres the reset button (8) so that the water starts to heat. The pilot light (6) will start blinking (= initial mode). As soon as the temperature necessary for steam production is reached, the pilot light will stop blinking and stay on (= working mode). The 15-minute auto shut off function switches on (see "Auto shut off function" section below). In the meantime the pilot light of

the lowest steam output will go on. You can now use the steam function.

• Press the steam button (2) to release steam from the soleplate of the iron. Release the button and the steam will stop. If you want a continuous jet of steam, slide the central part of the steam button backwards till it blocks the steam button. To stop the steam, slide the lock-on button (1) forward to block the steam button. To stop the steam, slide the lock-on button backward to release the steam button.
  To set the desired steam output, press the steam regulator (9). Each time you press the button the steam output will switch to another output in the following order:

(medium), - (high), you will hear a beep and the corresponding pilot light will come on on the control panel, indicating the set steam output. To come back to a low steam output, press the steam regulator (9) once more.

• When ironing, the pilot light of the iron (3) 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 reduce the difference. This phenomenon also happens when there isn't 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 cloth you want to smooth out avoiding the creases and place the iron in a vertical position at a few centimetres from the piece of cloth. Then move the iron by pressing the burst of steam button.

DRY IRONING

• For ironing without steam, do not press the steam button (2) and do not pres the lock-on button (1).
  Take the "Auto shut off function" section below into consideration.

AUTO SHUT OFF FUNCTION
