In the first use, a light odor may arise from the iron. This condition will turn to be normal after a couple of uses.

your iron is filled with excessive water, it may overflow. To avoid this, make sure that the level of water in the appliance does not ex- ceed the MAX. line.

In order to generate steam, the soleplate (4) has to rise to a certain level of temperature. By means of the ‘anti-drip’ feature of your iron, water dripping from the soleplate of the iron shall be prevented until the soleplate attains the temperature re- quired.

• If water runs out during ironing, after unplugging, you can top up water without waiting it to cool down.

• Iron your garments which require a low temperature first and then those requiring high temperatures. If the temperature is reduced when the appliance has a high temperature setting, it might be necessary to wait for 3 to 4 minutes for the heat to come down to the set level. 3 Preparation9 / 70 EN Iron / User Manual

• You should use an appropriate temperature setting. If you do not know the appropriate temperature setting, start from the lowest setting and increase the temperature until the fabric is ironed well.

• In order to perform a good ironing, try to use the steam at intervals. Using steam continuously will cause more surplus humidity on your products which may lead to re-creasing of your fabric while losing the extra humidity.

• In order to learn the appropriate ironing temperature to be used for the garment, always read the care label on your garment before setting temperature.

• As the iron gets warmer in a shorter time compared to the time elapsing to cool it down, synthetics, silks and other fabrics alike should be ironed at the beginning by using lower temperature settings.

• If the garment is made of a blend of different fabrics, always start ironing by using the lowest temperature setting first.

• Silk and other textiles which tend to brighten must be ironed on the reverse side. Velvets and other lustrous fabrics must be ironed under little pressure and in one direction only. Always keep the iron moving during ironing.

• Do not use the steam function when ironing colored silk clothes. This may cause stains. 3 Preparation10 / 70 EN Iron / User Manual

• Garments made of 100% pure wool can be ironed using steam. Set the temperature setting dial preferably to the MAX setting and lay a dry towel between the garment and the iron.

• Ironing wool garments can cause them to ‘shine’. It is therefore recommended to iron such garments inside out.

on metal parts, such as zippers, rivets, or me- tal buttons as they co- uld damage the solep- late. Always iron around these metal parts. 3 Preparation11 / 70 EN Iron / User Manual

4.1 Filling the water tank

• Always unplug the appliance. Push the steam setting knob (7) to left and bring to “0” (off) position.

• Open the water refill lid (6) of the iron and fill in water.

• Close the water refill lid (6).

• Even if you will iron your garments without steam; water should be available in the appliance in order to use the water spray when you need it.

• Do not fill the water reservoir with perfume, vinegar, laundry starch, lime removers or other products or chemicals which shall facilitate the ironing process.

• If your tap water is excessively limy, we recommend to use a mixture of tap water with purified water.

• After plugging in the iron, set re quired ironing temperature by turning the temperature setting dial (3) to the appropriate posi tion (see the temperature and steam settings table below).

• You can increase the tempera- ture of your appliance by turning the temperature setting dial (3) clockwise. When you are setting the tempera- ture of your appliance, we recom- mend to consider the following table. Fabric Type Temperature Setting Steam Setting Synthetic

• When the thermostat warning light (2) turns off, your iron will have reached the desired tem- perature.

• If you don’t know the fabric of your garment, first iron an invis- ible part of your garment and determine a correct ironing tem- perature for it.

• In order to prevent the bright stains that may form on the syn- thetic fabrics such as silk, iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Do not use the spray feature in order to prevent the stain formation.

• Pull the steam setting knob (7) to the right or left and bring it to steam level “1-2” as you desire.

• In order to make dry ironing, you should bring the steam setting knob (7) to “0” (off) position. Having water in the iron would be advantageous; you may use the water spray button (9) when necessary.

• During ironing, in order to remove the tenacious creases, you can gain strong steam by pressing on the shock steam button (8) for 3-4 times in 5-second intervals.

• When you start to iron, shock steam may not emit in your first couple of presses. In order to gain shock steam, the temperature setting dial (3) should be at •• or a higher level.

• You can open the creased parts of the garments with the steam power which is obtained by press- ing the shock steam button (8) during steam ironing. However if this process is maintained without an interruption, water may also come from the soleplate (4) along with the steam. 4 Operation of the Appliance13 / 70 EN Iron / User Manual

• Keep the button on the self-clean position. Gently shake the iron to left and right. Continue this pro- cess when the water in the water tank finishes. Release the button when the water is fully drained.

• During this process, the water in the tank comes down into the steam generation reservoir quickly and is released through the soleplate holes along with the lime particles (if any).

• Unplug the appliance and gently move it on an old cloth. Keep ironing until the water and lime stains left on the base are re- moved. Wait until the iron cools down before storing it.

5.3 Lime protection system

(Anti-Calc) The lime protection system in the water tank of your iron prevents clogging of the steam holes. Lime protection system is always active and there is no need to replace it.

If you do not intend to use the steam iron for a long time, please store it carefully.

• The appliance may be improperly connected. >>> Check the plug and power cord (1) of iron.

• Temperature setting dial (3) may be at the min. position. >>> Turn the tempera- ture setting dial to the steam sign. Iron does not generate steam.

• Water tank may not contain sufficient amount of water. >>> Fill the water reser- voir with water up to Max. level.

• Steam setting knob (7) may be at the 0 position. >>> Take the steam setting knob to steam position. >>> Soleplate (4) may not be hot enough. "Anti-Drip" system which prevents water dripping may be active. Turn the iron temperature setting dial (3) to the steam sign. Seat the iron in a vertical position and wait for the base to heat up. Shock Steam – Vertical Steam does not function.

• These functions may have been used too frequently in a very short period of time. >>> Keep ironing at a horizontal position and wait for a while before using the shock steam function again. >>> Soleplate (4) may not be hot enough. Turn the iron temperature setting dial to the steam sign. Seat the iron in a vertical position and wait for the base to heat up. Water drops fall down onto the fabric during ironing.

• You may not have fully closed the water refill lid (6). >>> Close the water refill lid (6) completely. Sediments and particles drop off from the base during ironing.

• If the water you use for your iron is too limy, such sediments may form. >>> Use the self-clean function for once or a few times. In your next ironing session, add soft water into your appliance. The appliance drops water after it cools down or stored.

• You may have left the iron on a horizontal position while there is water in its tank. >>> Empty the water tank. Stains on the soleplate.
