BEFORE STARTING TO IRON

Due to the high levels of mains water hardness in most areas, Solac recommends that you always use demineralised water for ironing. In this way, you will guarantee that your iron remains in optimal condition for a longer period of time.
Do not use decalcifying agents or descaling products in the water tank. Do not use scented water or ironing water either. These products damage the interior of the steam generation system.

1 With the iron unplugged from the mains, rotate the steam selector (10) to the closed position (fig. 2).
2 Open the water filler opening (5). Fill the water tank without exceeding the maximum level, using the water beaker provided (12) and keeping the iron in the vertical position (Fig. 1). When the tank is full, close the cap..
When filling the tank, make sure that the water does not overflow from the water filler opening.
3 Check whether the garment to be ironed has a label indicating the ironing tempera.
We recommend you classify the garments according to their required ironing temperature and begin with the garments ironed on the lowest temperature(•)

SYNTHETIC FIBRES, minimum temperature ( · ) SILK, WOOL, medium temperature ( ·· )

COTTON, high temperature ( ·s )

LINEN, MAX temperature

NOTE: Ironing delicate garments at a temperature higher than necessary spoils the fabric and causes burnt residue to stick to the sole-plate.
If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment, perform a test on a part, which will not be visible, beginning with the lowest temperature settings

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using it for the first time, use the appliance to iron an old cloth or clothing, to clean the system.
1 Set the temperature selector (9) to the Max position and wait a few minutes for the iron to reach the appropriate temperature (the temperature pilot light will go out).
2 Rotate the steam selector (10) until it is in the completely open position (fig. 3): steam will start to come out of the orifices in the soleplate.
3 Hold the iron by the handle and slide the sole-plate over the old towel.
4 When the water tank is empty, no more steam will be produced. The iron is ready for use.
Do not worry if the iron gives off a little smoke when used for the first time. This will go away quickly.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION (fig. 4)

1 Turn the temperature selector (9) until it is in the desired position.
When changing the position of the temperatu-

re selector (9), to either increase or reduce the temperature, several minutes must pass before the iron reaches the selected temperature.

When the selected temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out (11).

STEAM SELECTION

To obtain steam, set the temperature selector (9) between the levels • and Max, depending on the garment to be ironed.

The iron has 3 steam positions (dry ironing, medium steam flow or maximum steam flow)

1 When the pilot light (11) goes out, indicating that the desired temperature has been reached, rotate the steam selector (10) until the desired steam flow is obtained (fig. 5).

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

IRONING RECOMMENDATIONS

STEAM IRONING

For professional ironing results, we recommend you steam iron garments first and then dry iron them.

SUPERSTEAM

If you want more steam while ironing, press the button (8) two or three times, aim the supersteam at the desired area of the garment and pass the iron soleplate over it to dry it. Thus is useful for eliminating wrinkles.
The supersteam may not be released on the first occasions. This is normal. Press the push-button a couple of times. Once the supersteam circuit has been primed, the jet of steam will be released
- We recommend pressing the control at 5-second intervals.

VERTICAL STEAM

This allows you to remove creases from delicate garments without having to put them on the ironing board: jackets, overcoats, curtains,

EN

etc.

1 Fill the water tank as explained in the "BEFORE STARTING TO IRON" section.
2 Place the garment on a hanger, well away from other garments, people, animals, etc.

Do not discharge steam onto a garment hanging in the wardrobe or on a person.

3 Set the steam control (10) to the closed position and the temperature selector (9) to the Max position.

1. Bring the iron close to the garment, in the vertical position, (between 15 and 30 cm) and press the supersteam button (8) once only. Do not position the iron too close to the garment, because you could damage it.

2. Wait a few seconds before pressing the button (8) again, so as not to damage the garment. Most wrinkles can be eliminated with three sprays of stea.

DRY IRONING

1 If there is water in the tank, turn the steam selector (10) to the closed position (fig. 2).
2 Plug in the iron and set the temperature selector (9) to the desired position.
The pilot light (11) will go off when the temperature is reached.

IRONING WITH SPRAY

Spray can be obtained by pressing the corresponding button (7) when dry ironing or ironing with steam. The iron is at any temperature level

- Press the spray button (7) as many times as you want to use this function. 3D soleplate:

- Ceramic soleplate with active tip, equipped with a metal body ideal for professional ironing of shirt collars, pockets, trouser creases, etc. Caution. The skirt is an active area of the soleplate, so it will be hot while ironing.

- 3D Ironing is a way to help with ironing, use it to iron delicate areas like shirt cuffs, pockets or skirt and trouser hems. Do not make direct contact with the skin, and wait for the iron to cool down completely before touching it.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

ANTI-LIMESCALE SYSTEM

This iron has an innovative built-in anti-limescale system, consisting of a resin filter that retains the limescale substances from the water, so these cannot reach the steam chamber of the soleplate, thus extending the life of the iron.

The existence of this anti-limescale system does not mean that the recommendations about water hardness mentioned in the “BEFORE STARTING TO IRON” section can be ignored.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

The iron incorporates an anti-drip system that prevents the iron from dripping, even when it is switched ofa.

STORAGE AND CLEANING

Clean the appliance after using it for the first time, immediately after each use and after a long time without use.

SOLEPLATE

1 Disconnect the iron and allow the soleplate to cool down.
Use clay-based, environmentally friendly products to clean the solep.

EXTERNAL PART

1 To clean the external part of your iron, use a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Do not use solvents or abrasive products to clean your iron, as these could damage some of the plastic parts and/or remove some of the marks.
2 Store your iron in a vertical position, coiling the cord around the base and pressing the cable into the fixing clip.
Although the power cord is fitted with a 360° swivel piece, NEVER FORCE this cord when coiling it around the appliance on the first turn.

SELF-CLEANING

It is advisable to carry out the self-cleaning operation about once a month, depending on the frequency of use and the hardness of the water used

1 Ensure that the tank is half filled with water.
2 Place the iron in the vertical position.
3 Plug in the iron and turn the temperature selector (9) to the Max position.
4 Wait for the pilot light to go off (11) indicating that the desired temperature has been reached.
5 Turn the temperature selector (9) to the 0 position and unplug the iron from the mains.
6 Place the iron in the horizontal position over a sink or an appropriate container and press the selfclean button (12), keeping the iron in this position and swinging it gently from side to side. Steam and water will come out from the holes in the iron, flushing out dirt and impuri-
