INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USE:

• Remove the appliance's protective film.
• Ensure that the selected tension on the voltage selector coincides with the tension of the mains.
• To eliminate the smell given off by the appliance when used for the first time, it is recommended to have it on at full power for 2 hours in a well-ventilated room.
• Prepare the appliance according to the function you wish to use.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR:

- The appliance has a voltage selector control, situate the selector according to the type of voltage available in the mains where the appliance is to be connected. (Fig.2).

FILLING WITH WATER:

• It is essential to have filled the deposit with water to be able to work with steam.
• Open water inlet lid.
• Fill the deposit taking care to observe the MAX level (Fig.1).
• Close water inlet lid.

USE:

• Unroll the cable completely before plugging it in.
• Connect the appliance to the mains.
• Slide the thermostat control to the desired temperature position.
  • The pilot light (D) comes on.
• Do not use temperatures higher than those indicated on the garments to be treated.
• Temperature for synthetic fibres (Polyester, Nylon...).
• ●● Temperature for silk and wool.
• ●●● Temperature for cotton. (Minimum temperature for steam ironing)
• Max Temperature for linen.
• If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the temperature for the fibre that requires the lowest temperature. (For example, select the temperature for polyester for an article made out of 60% polyester and 40% cotton).
• Wait until the pilot light has gone out which will indicate that the appliance has reached an adequate temperature.
• During the appliance's use the pilot light will come on and off automatically, indicating the heating elements are working, and therefore maintaining the desired temperature.

DRY IRONING:

- The appliance has an option to dry ironing (without steam). To use this option turns on only the iron switch.

STEAM IRONING:

- It is possible to iron with steam whenever the deposit is filled with water and the adequate temperature is selected.

ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE APPLIANCE:

• Select the minimum position (MIN) using the thermostat control.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains.
• Remove the water from the inside of the appliance.
• Clean the appliance.

PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Classify the garments into groups by ironing temperature. The appliance heats up more quickly than it cools down, therefore, to avoid accidents, minimise energy consumption and optimise time, it is advisable to start off ironing items that require lower temperatures and progress to those that need higher temperatures.
• Pure wool fabrics (100%) can be ironed with the iron set to steam. Select a high steam temperature and place a cotton cloth between the iron's metal surface and the garment.

CLEANING

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
• Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
• Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products, for cleaning the appliance.

- Never submerge the appliance in water or any other liquid or place it under running water.

HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME SCALE INCRUSTATIONS:

• For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept free of limescale or magnesium incrustations caused by the use of hard water.
• To avoid this kind of problem it is advisable to use distilled water.
• To prevent this kind of problem, we recommend the use of water with low lime or magnesium mineralisation.
  • However, if it is not possible to use the kind of water recommended above, you should periodically remove the limescale from the appliance:
• Every 6 weeks if the water is "very hard".
• Every 12 weeks if the water is "hard".
• To do so, we recommend the use of the specific product for this kind of appliance, which can be found in specialised shops and authorised technical services.
• A specific anti-lime scale product should be used on this kind of product.
• Homemade solutions are not recommended in the decaling of this appliance, such as the use of vinegar.
