DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ELECTRONIC IRON

The digitally controlled electronic irons do not have a temperature control knob, however they are equipped with a display screen and a navigation key ( / SEL) The display screen comprises of several icons that indicate the status of the iron OFF Indicates that the iron is switched off on stand-by state ● SILK Indicates that the selected ironing temperature is suitable for silk and synthetic fabrics ●● WOOL Indicates that the selected ironing temperature is suitable for wool ●●● COTTON Indicates that the selected ironing temperature is suitable for cotton MAX LINEN Indicates that the selected ironing temperature is suitable for linen Indicates (flashing) that the steam option is ready for use.

Indicates (flashing) that sole plate temperature is rising up

Indicates (flashing) that sole temperature is decreasing Indicates (flashing) the chosen option. The iron is very simple to use: When it is plugged in, the display screen lights up and then the iron goes into stand-by «OFF» state. To switch it on, just press the navigation key ( / SEL) once. The iron switches to the lowest temperature level (● SILK) To change the selected temperature just press the navigation key repeatedly. The iron goes through the following cycle: OFF ● SILK ●● WOOL ●●● COTTON MAX LINEN OFF The iron is ready for use with steam as soon as the icon appears, assuming there is water in the tank. This function cannot be used unless the icon is on. BEFORE USING THE IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME Remove any label or protective cover from the soleplate. With the iron unplugged, fill in the tank of the iron with tap water. Plug in the appliance to the mains, place the iron upright leant on its support and set the temperature «MAX LINEN »When the steam iron has reached the desired temperature (flashing icon ▲ will disappear), start steaming by setting the steam regulator to «MAX» and by repeatedly pressing the steam button When using the steam function for the first time, do not apply it on the laundry, as there could still be dirt in the steam dispenser. Your new iron may smell and give off some smoke when you use it for the first time, this is normal and will cease after a short while.

«▲» icon blinks while the iron is in process of heating up, and dissapears as soon as the desired temperature is reached. Now you can start ironing «▼» icon blinks while the iron is in process of cooling down, and dissapears as soon as the desired temperature is reached (it could take several minutes to go from a higher temperature to a lower one) Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature. If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article. Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres. Silk, woollen or synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.

FILLING THE WATER TANK 1

Set the steam regulator to the position and unplug the iron from the mains! Use only clean water from the tap without mixing anything with it. The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage the appliance. Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air conditionings or similar. This appliance has been designed to use normal tap water. To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2. Never fill beyond the «MAX» water level mark. GETTING READY Remove any label or protective cover from the soleplate. Wait for the iron to reach the desired temperature (flashing icon ▲ or ▼ will disappear)

Only when the temperature on the display is placed in the areas with the steam symbol SPRAY 4 Do not use the spray function with silk.

Set the temperature in the «MAX LINEN Interval between shots of steam should be 5 sec. VERTICAL STEAM 6 Do not iron clothing while it is being worn! Never direct the steam at persons or animals! Interval between shots should be 5 sec. Wait 10 sec. after a cycle of 4 shot.

Each time you use the steam regulator, the «self-clean» system cleans the mechanism of scale deposits.

The «Función Calc» function helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber. Use this function approximately every 2 weeks, if the water in your area is very hard. Fill the water tank, plug in the iron and set the temperature to the «MAX LINEN ». position. After the necessary warm-up period, unplug the iron and hold it over a sink. Press «Función Calc» button and gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale or deposits that might be there. When the iron stops dripping, release the button, plug the iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has evaporated.

The «anti-calc» cartridge has been designed to reduce the build-up of scale produced during steam ironing, helping to extend the useful life of your iron. Nevertheless the «anti- calc» cartridge cannot remove all of the scale that is produced naturally over time.

AUTO SHUT-OFF FUNCTION 8

The auto shut-off function switches off the iron when it is left unattended, thus increasing security and saving energy. After plugging in the appliance, this function will be inactive for the first 2 minutes in order to give the appliance time to reach the set temperature. After this time, if the iron is not moved for 8 minutes while in the upright position or 30 seconds while resting on its soleplate or on its side, then the safety circuit will switch the appliance off automatically and display´s light and icon will start flashing. To reconnect the iron, just move it about gently. ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM 9 If the temperature is set too low, the steam is automatically switched off to avoid dripping.
