Frequently Asked Questions - BA 3237 SEVERIN

What type of water to use in the SEVERIN BA 3237 iron?

Use tap water up to 15 dH. For better longevity, prefer distilled, demineralized, or decalcified water. Never put vinegar or descaler into the tank.

How to fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the filling opening cover, pour water using the provided measuring cup without exceeding the 'Max' mark. Close the cover.

Why does my iron leave water on the laundry?

This can happen if the temperature is not high enough for steam. Make sure the steam button is closed during heating and the temperature is sufficient (position 2 or 3). The anti-drip function prevents leaks once the correct temperature is reached.

How to use the steam burst function?

Press the steam burst button. It produces a burst of hot steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. Can also be used in vertical position for hanging clothes.

What is the Ionic function button for?

It reduces the size of steam molecules for better penetration into fibers. A blue light turns on and an acoustic signal sounds. Hold the button down to activate the function.

How to clean the iron soleplate?

Let the iron cool down. Clean the soleplate with a lint-free cloth soaked in a mixture of water and white vinegar. Do not use abrasive products.

How does the auto shut-off work?

When the iron remains motionless horizontally for 30 seconds or vertically for 8 minutes, it switches off automatically. An acoustic signal sounds and the indicator flashes. As soon as you move it, it turns back on.

How to perform the self-cleaning?

Fill the tank to max. Plug in the iron, set temperature to maximum, wait for the indicator to turn off, unplug. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink, set the steam button to the self-cleaning symbol and tilt it until all water has evaporated. Let cool then wipe.

Can I dry iron with this iron?

Yes, you can dry iron by setting the steam button to the off position. The tank can be empty or contain water to use the steam burst if needed.

What to do if the iron does not heat up?

Check the electrical outlet and connection. Ensure the thermostat is set to a temperature. If the problem persists, contact SEVERIN after-sales service.

Important safety instructions

• Remove the appliance completely from its packaging and remove any stickers if found. Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects or leakage. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible

damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

• Great care is necessary in using any appliance, especially near children. Do not leave the steam iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board. Always remove the plug from the wall socket and place the steam iron on its base stand.
• The iron must be used and stored on a stable and heat-resistant surface only.
• With the iron placed on its rest, ensure that this too is on a stable and heat-resistant surface.
• Do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces or open flames such as hot-plates or gas flames.

The appliance operates at very high temperatures. Do not touch any part of the appliance except the handle. Burns can occur from touching the hot parts of the housing or the soleplate and from hot water or steam. When operating the steam iron, hold only by the handle. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby.

Anti-scale filter

A special filter in the generator reservoir softens the water and reduces the build-up of lime deposits in the sole plate.

Filling with water

Fill the water reservoir before using the steam function or the spray nozzle.

Remove the plug from the wall socket before filling the reservoir.

• This steam iron is to a large extent resistant to hard water (up to 15°dH). Although normal tap water may be used, it is advisable to use distilled, demineralised or decalcified water. Should you be unsure about the hardness of the water in your

area, please enquire of the relevant local authority department.

• To prevent water from dripping from the sole plate, ensure that the steam control button (5) is closed. It should be opened only once the temperature level required for steam ironing [as indicated on the temperature control knob (2)] has been reached.
• Open the cover of the water fill hole.
• Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided. Fill the reservoir to the indicated "Max" level only.
• Close the water fill hole.

Anti-drip function

If the temperature of the soleplate is not sufficient to produce steam, the water supply is cut off automatically to prevent dripping.

General information about ironing

Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed.

• The meaning of the ironing symbols is as follows:

synthetics (low temperature) - silk and wool (medium temperature) cotton and linen (high temperature)

• These markings can also be found on the temperature control knob of the steam iron in form of dot symbols.
• Laundry to be ironed should be sorted according to the fabric ironing temperature. Follow the ironing symbols and start with the lowest temperature.
• When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or if you are not sure about the fabrics, you may carefully test-iron at a non-visible point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the lowest temperature.
• If the laundry is being dried in a dryer before ironing, the temperature should be adjusted to "iron dry". Very dry fabrics are difficult to iron.

Start up

Clean the steam iron before using for the first time, according to the instructions given in the paragraph "General Care and Cleaning - Self-cleaning system". This will result in the removal of possible dust particles from the soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell typically encountered when first switching on.

Please ensure sufficient ventilation.

Ironing

• Steam ironing requires high temperatures. will switch off after approx. 8 minutes of Th e temperature level for steam ironing inactivity. is indicated on the temperature control knob. Steam Jet

After filling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.

• Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as indicated by the ironing symbols.

During the heating-up process, the indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go out once the required ironing temperature is reached.

• Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old, clean cotton cloth while using the steam jet function; this helps to flush out any dirt residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate.

The steam output can be adjusted with the steam control button or completely switched off for dry ironing.

• For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty. Should there be water left in the reservoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature settings.
• Place the steam iron upright on its left stand after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Automatic switch-off

If the appliance is switched on but not used for a certain period of time, it will automatically switch off. The automatic

switch-off is indicated by a beep signal; in addition, the red indicator light flashes. As soon as the appliance is moved, it will switch on again.

Horizontal position:

With the iron standing on its soleplate, it will switch off after approximately 30 seconds of inactivity.

Vertical position:

When upright on its base stand, the iron will switch off after approx. 8 minutes of inactivity.

Steam Jet

When the steam jet button is depressed, an additional hot steam jet is emitted from the soleplate. This function can be very useful when the regular amount of steam emitted is not sufficient to remove stubborn creases or when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.

The steam jet function may also be used with the iron held vertically, to remove creases or wrinkles from fabrics.

Using the Spray Nozzle

The laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button. This will help to smooth out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be used at any temperature level during dry or steam ironing.

Ionic function

This function is activated by pressing the Ionic button. It causes the steam molecules to be reduced in size, enabling them to penetrate deeper into the fabric. This function is also enhanced by the ceramic-coated soleplate, which in this way makes for

more effective ironing of difficult areas. The Ionic function remains active only as long as the Ionic button is depressed. A low buzzing signal is heard and the blue indicator light in the water container comes on.

General information about ironing.

Before ironing, check the label on the garment you are going to iron for ironing recommendations.

• Symbols used for ironing:

Synthetics (low temperature) Nylon and wool (medium temperature) Cotton (high temperature)

The same marking is also applied to the temperature regulator on the steam iron.

Before ironing, sort the laundry according to the recommended ironing temperature. Follow the ironing instructions and start with the lowest temperature.

Ironing thin fabrics: if you do not know what fabric it is, try ironing in an inconspicuous place, for example on the inside seam. Start with a low temperature.

If the laundry was dried in a tumble dryer, set the temperature to "iron dry". Over-dried laundry is very difficult to iron.

Before first use of the steam iron, clean it according to the instructions in the section "General care and cleaning - Self-cleaning system". This will remove the lubricant and eliminate the smell that is present

when the iron is first turned on.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Ironing

Ironing requires high temperature. The temperature level for the steam iron is indicated on the temperature dial.

After filling the water reservoir, place the steam iron vertically on its stand and plug it into the power outlet.

Set the dial to the lowest ironing temperature, according to the markings on it.

During heating, the indicator light remains on. When the set temperature is reached, the indicator light goes off.

Before ironing any fabric, it is necessary to clean the soleplate of the iron by passing it several times over a clean cotton cloth. Using the steam burst function helps to clean the holes in the soleplate from any fibers or residues.
