Before first use

• Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen. Under the same conditions, press the Turbo button a few times.
• During the first few uses, a harmless odour and smoke may be given off. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

Please read these instructions carefully. Remove any labels from the sole point before heating up the iron.

Preparation

What water to use?

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
• Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your Moulinex iron.

If your water is very hard, it is possible to mix tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions: - 50% tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Filling the water tank

Fill the tank up to the "MAX". Never fill the appliance by holding it directly under the tap.

• Check that the Ultracord system is properly locked.
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to "0" – fig.1.
  • Take the iron with one hand and tilt it slightly, with the nose of the soleplate pointing down.
• To open the flap of the water tank, push the button – fig.2.
• Fill the tank up to the "MAX" line – fig.3.
• Close the flap of the water tank, until it clicks into place.

Us e

Adjust the temperature and the steam

• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough – fig.5.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

In order to avoid water dripping from the iron onto the linen:

- Turn off the steam when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics.

- Set it at the minimum position for wool.

Spray Function (spray)

Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.

- Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases – fig.6.

Obtain more steam

• Press the Turbo button from time to time – fig.7.
• Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the Turbo button again.

Vertical steam ironing

Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

- Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing.

- Set the thermostat control to "MAX" – fig.8.

- Press the Turbo button 📋 repeatedly – fig.7 moving the iron from top to bottom – fig.9, wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.

Dry ironing

• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
• Set the steam control to "0" – fig.1.
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

Extra Functions

Ultracord System (depending on model)

Your iron has been designed with the Ultracord system to prevent the steam cord from dragging across the linen and creasing it while ironing. It also allows you to handle the iron more easily. To use the Ultracord system:

For easier use, always use the Ultracord system.

• Turn the Lock-System ring and put the indicator on the position – fig.10.
• The Ultracord system opens out automatically. You can now plug in your appliance and begin to iron.
  • Each time you put your iron on its heel, the Ultracord system closes automatically and opens out each time you pick the iron up again.

Integral anti-scale system (depending on model)

Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system - fig.11.

This system will help to provide:

• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

- The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds – fig.12.

- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

When the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.

Anti-drip function (depending on model)

When using the iron for the first time, allow 2 minutes for steam to be produced.

- If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)

• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• To remove the anti-scale valve, pull it up –fig.13.
• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for hours – fig.14.
• Rinse the valve under running water.
• Replace the anti-scale valve.

Be careful!

• Never touch the end of the valve.
• The iron will not function without the anti-scale valve.

Self-cleaning

The self-cleaning function helps to slow down scaling in your iron. In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a month.

• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it's heel with the thermostat set to "Max" and heat it up.
• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position, over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve – fig.13.
• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate – fig.15.
• At the end of the operation, push the anti-scale valve back into position.
• Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the soleplate

- While the soleplate is still slightly warm, clean it by wiping over it with a damp non-metallic cloth.

Never use abrasive or aggressive products on the soleplate.

Storing your iron

• Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down.
• Close the Ultracord System and lock it by positioning the ring indicator (depending on model) onto 🔒.
• Empty the water tank and set the steam control to "0". A little water may remain in the tank.
• Wind the cord around the heel at the back of the iron. Store the iron on its heel–fig.16.
