Frequently Asked Questions - Fast&Furious 5040 Absolute CECOTEC

How to fill the water tank of the Cecotec Fast&Furious 5040 Absolute iron?

Make sure the iron is off and unplugged. Turn the steam selector to '0'. Open the tank cap and fill up to the 'MAX' mark. The level is visible through the transparent part. Use only tap water, without additives.

What is the power of this iron?

The Cecotec Fast&Furious 5040 Absolute iron has a power of 3000 W at a voltage of 220-240 V~, 50/60 Hz.

How to use the steam function?

Fill the tank, plug in the iron, place it in vertical position and set the temperature selector to the steam zone (usually high, towards MAX). Preheat until the indicator light goes off. Turn the steam selector to the desired level. Steam ironing is only possible at high temperature to avoid dripping.

What to do if the iron does not produce steam?

Check that the tank has enough water and that the temperature selector is set to a high position (steam zone). Make sure the steam selector is not on '0'. If the problem persists, use the self-cleaning function to remove limescale deposits.

How to clean the soleplate of the iron?

Unplug the iron and let it cool completely. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth. For stubborn residues, you can use a cotton cloth on a warm soleplate (but not hot). Never use abrasive products or hard sponges.

How does the automatic safety shut-off work?

The iron automatically turns off if it remains in horizontal position for 30 seconds or in vertical position for 8 minutes. It emits 5 beeps and the light flashes. To turn it back on, simply lift or move it slightly.

What water to use in the tank?

It is recommended to use tap water. If the water is very hard, mix equal parts with demineralized water. Do not use scented water or additives, as they may stain clothes or damage the iron.

How to perform the self-cleaning of the iron?

Fill the tank halfway, set the steam selector to 'off'. Place the iron in vertical position, turn it on and set the temperature to MAX. Preheat until the light goes off, then unplug. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink and turn the steam selector to maximum or press the self-cleaning button. Boiling water and steam will come out of the soleplate. Then clean the cooled soleplate.

Can the iron be used without water (dry ironing)?

Yes, dry ironing is possible. Simply set the temperature selector to the desired position (MIN for delicate fabrics) and wait for the indicator light to go off. You can also use the water spray or steam burst even in dry mode.

What to do if the iron drips water on clothes?

This can happen if the temperature is too low for steam. Make sure the temperature selector is on a high position (steam zone, towards MAX). The anti-drip function normally prevents leakage at low temperature. If it persists, check that the tank is not too full and that the steam selector is correctly set.

Note: Tap water can be used in this iron. Do not use water additives or substitute water, such as linen or scented water in the steam iron. They can stain fabrics or damage the iron. Do not exceed the 'MAX' mark on the tank.

3. OPERATION

Anti-calc function

The anti-calc function is a permanent system located inside the water tank to eliminate impurities in water and reduce the problems derived from limescale build-up. To prolong the efficiency of this system, follow these steps regularly:

Unplug the iron and allow it to cool down.

FILL 3/4 of the measuring cup provided with the iron with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and fill the water tank with this mix.

Leave the mix in the water tank for 15 minutes, shake it occasionally, and empty it. Repeat this process twice.

Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse it and empty it.

Anti-drip function

This system controls the water flow emitted to the soleplate at all times. Below a certain temperature, the anti-drip function cuts off the water flow and prevents the iron from dripping water onto the fabric.

Automatic shut-off function

The iron will automatically turn off when placed in horizontal position for 30 seconds, or in an upright position for 8 minutes. To indicate that the iron has been turned off, the unit will beep 6 times and the auto shut-off indicator light will blink. The iron can take up to 45-60 minutes to completely cool down.

To heat up the iron again:

Pick up the iron or slightly move it.

The auto shut-off light indicator will stop blinking.

The auto shut-off light indicator will remain on and the iron will be ready for use.

ECO mode

Use this mode for optimal results when steam ironing any type of fabric. This position guarantees good results saving energy.

Dry ironing

Place the iron in vertical position.

Plug the iron.

Set the temperature control dial to position 'MIN'.

Preheat the iron until the indicator light turns off.

The iron is ready for use.

Steam ironing

Fig. 4.

Fill the iron as described in 'How to fill with water'.

Plug the appliance into the mains supply.

Place the iron vertically and turn the temperature control dial to the steam position.

Steam ironing is only possible when the temperature control dial is set at higher temperature settings, signaled with the mark 'MAX'; otherwise, the water will leak from the soleplate.

Preheat the iron until the indicator light turns off.

Turn the steam selector to the required setting, according to the different types of fabric.

The iron is ready for use.

How to use the water spray

Before using the spray function, check the fabric label for ironing instructions, as some fabrics may be spotted or stained with moisture. The spray function is particularly helpful to remove stubborn wrinkles and whenever extra moisture is needed. The spray may be used both with steam or dry ironing. Simply press the spray mist button when desired.

How to use the steam burst

The steam burst feature provides additional steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. It maybe used both with steam or dry ironing. Press the power steam button to release a steam burst. Pressing the button several times may be necessary to build up the steam burst. Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fabric before pressing the button again for more steam.

Note: For optimal results, do not apply more than three successive bursts after the indicator light turns off.

After use

Turn off and unplug the iron.

Empty the iron immediately after use. Do not store the iron with water in its tank.

Allow the iron to completely cool down before cleaning or storing it. Let it rest on its base in vertical position to protect the soleplate from scratches, corrosion, or stains.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Outside surface of the iron

After unplugging and letting the iron cool down, wipe its exterior surface with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent.

Warning: Do not use any abrasive cleaning agent.

Soleplate

Starch and other types of residue may be easily removed from the soleplate with a damp cloth. To avoid scratches on its finish, do not use metallic scouring pads to clean the soleplate and never place the iron on a rough surface.

If synthetic fabrics are ironed at high temperature, both the fabric and the soleplate of the iron could be damaged. The best way to remove synthetic residue from the soleplate is to heat it up and iron over an old cotton rag.

Warning: Do not use steam iron cleaners in this iron, since they could damage its parts.

Auto-cleaning

Note: In order to perform best results, use the auto-clean function once per month, or more if required according to the use.

Fill half of the water tank with water and leave the steam selector in off position.

Place the iron in vertical position.

Plug the iron.

Set the temperature control dial to position 'MAX'.

Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light turns off.

Unplug the iron from the mains supply and keep it in a horizontal position over the sink.

Turn the steam selector to the maximum position or hold the Auto-clean button. Boiling water and steam will be elected through the holes on the soleplate.

Clean the soleplate with a clean cloth once it has cooled down.
