Remove all adhesive remains and gently rub with a dampened cloth. Rinse the water tank to remove foreign particles. When turned on for the rst time, temporary vapours/odours may occur. 2 Filling the steam iron with water. Make sure that the plug is removed from the power outlet. Turn the steam selector to “OFF” and open the lling aperture cover (A). Using the beaker provided, pour water up to maximum level (B). Raise the tip of the iron to prevent the water from overowing while pouring. Close the cover (C). This product is appropriate for use with tap water. It is recommended to use destilled water or a mix of 50% destilled, 50% tap water. 3 Plug the power cable into a power outlet. Turn the temperature selector to the desired heat. The power indica- tor light indicates that the iron is heating up. When the light turns o, the iron is ready to be used. Note: If you lower the temperature during ironing, do not start again until the power indicator light turns on. 4 Iron with steam. Turn the steam selector to a position between “OFF” and “ ”, depending on the quantity of steam required. To iron without steam, leave the steam selector on position “OFF”. Note: The iron gives o steam continuously if you hold it horizontally. Stop the continuous steam by placing the iron vertically or turning the steam selector to “OFF”. 5 Using the spray mist and steam jet function. Ensure that the water tank is at least 1/4 full. Use spray mist to pre-dampen fabrics by pressing the spray button several times to release a ne mist (A). To use the steam jet function, ensure that the tank is at least 1/2 full. Press the steam jet button several times to prime pump (B). 6 Steaming hanging items. The vertical steam jet function is ideal for steaming curtains, suits and delicate fabrics. Hang the item on a hanger, hold the iron at a distance of 10–20 cm and press the steam jet button. 7 The appliance must be switched o before connecting or disconnecting the mains plug. Never pull the sup- ply cord. Instead, grasp the plug and pull. Empty the water tank and let the iron cool completely before storage. CLEANING (DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENT) 8 Always store the iron on its heel rest with the cord twisted loosley around the cable wrap facility. To clean exterior surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as these will damage the surface. 9 Self-cleaning function. Hold the iron over a sink. Fill the lling aperture with water. Heat up the iron. Move the steam button to self-cleaning position, hold for 60 seconds to empty water from the steam holes. Release the button to stop the self-cleaning function. 10 Cleaning the soleplate. Do not use scouring pads or harsh cleaners on the soleplate as these will damage the surface. To remove burnt residue, iron over a damp cloth while the iron is still hot. To clean the soleplate, simply wipe with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. THERMOSAFE™ (* CERTAIN MODELS ONLY) 11 Your appliance is equipped with ThermoSafe™ hot soleplate indicator which detects when the soleplate is hot by changing its colour from black to red. Once the temperature of the soleplate is <40C°, the colour changes back to black to show that the iron is ready to be stored away.7www.electrolux.com

FABRIC TEMPERATURE SETTING IRONING RECOMMENDATION

Acrylic Dry iron on the wrong side. Acetate Dry iron on the wrong side while still damp or use spray to dampen. Nylon & Polyester Iron on the wrong side while still damp or use spray to dampen. Rayon Iron on the wrong side of fabric. Viscose Mainly dry iron. Steam can be used under manufacturer’s instructions. Silk Iron on the wrong side. Use an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.

Linen to “MAX” Iron on the wrong side or use ironing cloth to prevent shine marks, especially with dark colours. Dry iron while still damp or use spray to dampen. Use steam medium to high. Denim to “MAX” Use maximum steam. Varied ironing speed and fabric dampness might cause optimal setting to dier from that recommended in the table!

Temperature settings The iron heats up faster than it cools down, so we recommend that you start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature. Use the lowest temperature with fabrics that have unusual nishes, such as sequins or embroidery. If you are unsure about the fabric, start with a low temperature and iron on a hidden corner. Then increase the temperature gradually if needed. Avoiding marks on the fabric Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks, the heat xes the stains on the fabric. Washing fabrics before ironing If the washing machine is heavily loaded or the spin drying revolutions are very high, the fabrics may come out more creased. However, many fabrics are easier to iron if they are damp.9www.electrolux.com
