Frequently Asked Questions - SIM 8130 R BEKO

How to fill the water tank?

Open the filling cap (2). Fill with water up to the MAX mark while holding the iron slightly tilted. Use tap water; if the water is very hard, mix it with drinking water. Never add perfume, vinegar, or descaling agent.

What to do if the iron does not heat up?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the cord is not damaged. Make sure the temperature control button (6) is not set to the Min position. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service.

How to use the intensive steam?

Set the temperature to at least Woollens. Wait until the thermostat indicator light (10) goes out. Press the intensive steam button (5) at intervals of a few seconds. Never direct steam towards people or animals.

How to clean the iron?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely. Open the filling cap, empty the remaining water. Wipe the exterior and the soleplate (9) with a damp cloth and possibly a mild non-abrasive detergent. Never immerse the iron in water.

How to descale the iron?

Fill the water tank up to MAX. Plug in the iron, set the temperature to MAX, wait until the thermostat light goes out. Unplug, hold the iron horizontally over the sink and press the descaling button (7) until water flows out. Perform this operation every 10 to 15 days.

Why does water drip onto the fabric?

Make sure the filling cap (2) is firmly closed. If water drips during ironing, it may be due to too low a temperature (use steam ironing only on wool settings or higher) or excessive use of intensive steam.

What does the flashing light mean?

The automatic shut-off indicator light (10) flashes when the iron has automatically turned off after a period of inactivity (30 s horizontally, 8 s vertically, 30 s on its side). Move the iron to reactivate it.

Can I use the iron without water?

Yes, for dry ironing. Set the steam control button (3) to 0. It is recommended to leave a little water in the tank to be able to use the water spray (4) if needed.

How to use vertical steaming?

Fill the tank, plug in the iron, set the temperature to linen/cotton. Wait until the thermostat indicator goes out. Hold the iron 15-30 cm away from garments or curtains and press the intensive steam button (5).

What to do if steam does not come out?

Check the water level in the tank (refill if necessary). Make sure the steam control button (3) is not set to the off position. The temperature must be set at least to Woollens (wool). If intensive steam does not work, wait a few seconds between presses.
