STEAM IRON: PRECAUTION OF USE 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
Nylon	MIN	NO
Synthetic (e.g. acetate, acrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyester...)
Silk
Wool		YES
Cotton		YES
Linen	MAX

• When you plug in the appliance, a beep will sound and the ON/OFF button will start flashing to indicate that the appliance is connected to the mains. To switch on the appliance, press the ON/OFF switch one beep will sound and the ON/OFF button will remain lighted. The button for high steam output will start flashing and after a few seconds it will remain lighted, indicating that the steam function is available.
• Set the temperature dial of the iron to the desired position. The pilot light of the iron 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 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 progress to the higher temperatures.
  If the article is made of a mixture of different fibres, 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 slightly 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. To fill the water tank, pour water into the fill opening of the water tank.
3. Never use vinegar, detergents or other chemical products.

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

The anti-scale cartridge will remain efficient for 500 hours of use (this average working life may vary depending on the hardness of the water used). After this time, the appliance cannot be activated anymore and the cartridge must then be replaced. Please contact the after sales service of the manufacturer.

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 with water" section.

STEAM-IRONING

• Fill the water tank with water.
• As indicated on the temperature dial and in the table, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures, so set the dial to or .
• Plug in and switch on the appliance. Set the temperature dial of the iron to the desired position. When the iron has reached the desired temperature, its pilot light will go out. You can now use the steam function. Choose the type of steam by pressing the corresponding button (low, medium or high steam output). The high steam output is the default setting.
• Press the burst of steam button 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, hold the steam button down, or slide the locking button of the continuous steam button backwards till it blocks the continuous steam button. Steam will then be emitted continuously, even if you

11 TEAM SIS 14-101117

release the button. To stop the steam, slide the locking button of the continuous steam button forwards.

• When ironing, the pilot light of the iron 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, the empty water tank indicator will flash in red and beeps will sound. The appliance switches off automatically. If you want to go on using the steam function, you will have to refill the water tank.

Notes:

• When you start using the steam function, it is normal that the electrical pump makes some vibrating sounds. This is due to the air inside the anti-calc cartridge and will lessen when the air has been pumped out. If the noise has not diminished after 60 seconds, check if the water tank and the cartridge have been assembled correctly.

• If you remove the water tank when the appliance is switched on, the empty water tank indicator will flash in red, beeps will sound and the appliance will switch off automatically. When the water tank is put back in place, the ON/OFF switch will light again and the appliance will be ready for use again.

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 and press the burst of steam button at the same time.

DRY IRONING

For ironing without steam, do not press the burst of steam button.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF

When the iron has not been moved for 15 minutes, the appliance will shut off automatically and beeps will sound. The power switch will blink.

Press the power switch you want to restart the appliance.

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 therefore foreseen place is non-slip and will not damage the soleplate of the iron.

ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE

• Your appliance is equipped with an anti-calc cartridge located inside the water tank. 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 2 or 3 months. However this period may vary depending on the frequency of use and of the scale content of the water in your area. If the water contains much scale, you will have to replace 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.

12 TEAM SIS 14-101117

• When it is necessary to replace the anti-scale cartridge (after 500 hours of use), the "replacement of the anti-scale cartridge" indicator will light up and the appliance will switch off automatically.
• To take the cartridge out, first pull the water tank out of the base. Turn the anti-scale cartridge a quarter turn anticlockwise so that the triangle is right in front of the open padlock. Pull out the cartridge. Put the new cartridge in and make sure that the triangle is right in front of the open padlock, stick the cartridge well in place and turn it a quarter turn clockwise so that the triangle is in front of the closed padlock. Put the water tank back in place and make sure that you stick it well in place.
• When you put a new anti-calc cartridge in the water tank, immerse it in water for some time before using the appliance again in order to obtain a better performance.
  To buy a new cartridge, please contact the nearest customer service.
• Never use the appliance 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.
