Frequently Asked Questions - 16390054 Melissa

How to fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron, turn the steam knob to 0, open the nozzle cover, and fill slowly with tap water up to the MAX mark (160 ml). Do not exceed this mark. Do not use chemically distilled or perfumed water. Close the cover.

How to set the temperature for different fabrics?

Check the garment label. The thermostat has three positions: low (•) for synthetics and silk, medium (••) for wool, high (•••) for cotton and linen. Always start with low-temperature fabrics, as the iron heats up faster than it cools down.

How to use the steam function?

Fill with water, set the thermostat to •• or •••, wait for the light to go out, then turn the steam knob to the desired position. Constant steam comes out when the iron is horizontal. To stop, place the iron on its heel or turn the knob to 0.

How to use the steam shot?

This function is used only when the thermostat is at maximum and the indicator light is off. Press the steam shot button for a powerful burst. You can also use it vertically for curtains or hanging garments. Wait a few seconds between shots.

How to use the water spray?

Press the spray button to spray fine water through the front nozzle. Press slowly or quickly depending on the desired effect. Do not use this function on dry clothes; first dampen the fabric or place a damp cloth between the iron and the garment.

How to clean the iron using the self-cleaning function?

Fill with water up to MAX, set the steam to 0 and the thermostat to maximum. Plug in, wait for the light to go out, unplug, then hold the iron horizontally over a sink. Turn the steam to maximum: boiling water and steam come out to remove limescale. Move the iron back and forth until empty, then set the steam back to 0.

How to clean the soleplate?

After use and when the soleplate is still warm, wipe it with a damp cloth. Limescale deposits can be removed with a little water on a cloth. Never scratch the soleplate, as this could damage it.

How to store the iron after use?

Empty the water tank. Hold the iron with the spray nozzle downward and press the steam shot button several times to empty completely. Let it cool before storing. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.

What to do if the iron does not heat up?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the socket is powered. If the iron is overheating, the integrated thermal protection turns it off automatically; wait for it to cool down before reuse. If the problem persists, contact an authorized repairer.

What safety precautions should be followed?

Never leave the appliance unattended while plugged in. Keep it out of reach of children under 8. Do not touch the hot soleplate and do not rest the iron on its soleplate. Only use on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Do not use a timer or remote control.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

• Ensure that all stickers and labels have been removed from the soleplate (11).
• Some parts of the appliance were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the iron is first used. This is not dangerous. Allow the appliance to heat up and iron a piece of damp cloth until the soleplate is completely clean.
• The first few shots of steam should not be directed towards clothing, as the steam may contain material particles left over from the production process.

REFILLING THE WATER

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Never use chemically distilled water or perfumed water. Close the cover.
  • Always pour the excess water away after use.

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE

- Read any ironing instructions on the garment. As a rule, there will be a pictogram of an iron and a number of dots. These dots indicate the setting that should be selected on the appliance's thermostat dial (9). See table below.

Material Symbol Temperature
Synthetic, silk	• Low
Wool	•• Medium
Cotton, linen	••• High

UK

• If there are no ironing instructions on the garment, but you know what fabric it is made of, the table can be used. The table only applies to the relevant material and is for guidance only.
• Garments with printed and sewn-on features are best ironed on the reverse of the material at low temperature.
• For fabrics made of several different materials, you should always adjust the temperature to suit the material that can tolerate the least heat. If, for instance, a product consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, adjust the temperature of the appliance for ironing polyester.
• Sort the items to be ironed according to the temperature at which they are to be ironed.
• The appliance will get hot quicker than it cools down. Therefore always start with garments to be ironed at the lowest temperature.

USE

Insert the plug (6) into an electrical socket and place the appliance upright on its base (7) on the ironing board.

Dry ironing

• The appliance can be used for dry ironing, even if there is water in the water reservoir.
• Turn the steam adjustment button (3) to position 0.

• Turn the thermostat button (9) to the required setting. The indicator light (8) will come on.

• Once the indicator light goes out, the required temperature has been reached and you can start to dry iron. The indicator light will go on and off during use, which merely indicates that it is maintaining the selected temperature.

• Do not fill the appliance with water if it is to be used as a dry iron for a prolonged period.

Steam ironing

• Fill with water.
• Turn the thermostat dial (9) to position •• or •••. The indicator light (8) will come on.
• Once the indicator light goes out, the required temperature has been reached and you can start to steam iron. The indicator light will go on and off during use, which merely indicates that it is maintaining the selected temperature.
• Turn the steam quantity button (3) to the required setting. Constant steam will be emitted from the holes in the soleplate (11) when you hold the appliance horizontal. Place the appliance on its base (7) or turn the steam quantity button to position 0 to stop the steam.

Steam shot

• The steam shot function for smoothing out stubborn creases can only be used when the thermostat dial is turned to the maximum setting and the indicator light is not on.
• Press the steam shot button (5) to spray steam onto the garment through the holes in the soleplate. Wait a few seconds before the next steam shot.

UK

- You can also hold the appliance vertical to give hanging curtains, clothing on hangers, etc. a shot of steam.

Water spray

• Press the water spray button (4) to spray water out of the spray nozzle (1) on the front of the appliance. Please note that you may have to press the button a few times to get it to work. Press the button slowly or quickly, depending on how you want the spray.
• Do not use this function on dry clothes. Instead, moisten the clothing before ironing, or place a damp cloth between the clothing and the soleplate.

SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION

The appliance must be cleaned at regular intervals, depending on the hardness of the water and how often the appliance is used.

• Fill with water to the MAX mark.
• Turn the steam adjustment button (3) to position 0.
• Turn the thermostat button (9) to the highest setting (MAX).
• Plug the appliance in and allow it to heat up until the indicator light goes out. Remove the plug from the socket.

CLEANING

• Press the steam shot button (2) a few times and carefully shake the appliance after use to ensure there is no more water in the appliance.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth while it is still lukewarm. Any limescale deposits on the soleplate can be removed with a little vinegar on a cloth. Do not scrape the soleplate, as this may damage it.
• The outside of the appliance can be wiped down with a well-wrun cloth.

STORAGE
