Frequently Asked Questions - DB-2200.22B AFK

How do I descale the iron press?

Mix equal parts water and vinegar, fill the tank, heat the iron, and press the steam button repeatedly. Then rinse with clean water. Descaling should be done every 3 months.

What should I do if the iron press turns off automatically?

This is a safety feature. Simply move the iron or press the reset button to restart. Auto shut-off activates when idle for 30 seconds horizontally.

Can I use tap water in the iron press?

Yes, but distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup. Using tap water may require more frequent descaling.

How do I change the soleplate?

The soleplate is not user-replaceable. Contact AFK support for repair or replacement.

Why is the iron press not heating?

Check if it's plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. If still not heating, the heating element may be faulty. Seek professional repair.

What settings should I use for delicate fabrics?

Use the lowest temperature setting and steam sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Delicate fabrics require gentle care.

How often should I clean the water tank?

Clean the tank every month by rinsing with warm water. Remove any residue to prevent clogging and ensure steam function.

Is the iron press suitable for vertical steaming?

Yes, it can be used vertically for hanging garments. Press the steam button while holding the iron upright. Vertical steaming is effective for refreshing clothes.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact AFK customer service or visit their website. Spare parts include soleplates, thermostats, and water tanks.

How do I store the iron press after use?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Empty the water tank and store upright in a dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the iron. Proper storage prolongs lifespan.

Comment:

If water droplets are formed as well as steam whilst ironing, set the temperature-control dial to a higher setting.

Tips:

• Always check the ironing instructions in your clothes.
• See the table below for the correct temperature setting.

•	NYLON	Synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester
••	SILK	Silk
••	WOOL	Wool
•••	COTTON	Cotton
MAX	LINEN	Linen

- Always start by ironing fabrics that need to be ironed at a low temperature. Then iron fabrics that can be ironed at a higher temperature.

- If you set the temperature control dial to a lower setting, wait until the temperature indication light turns back on. Once the set temperature has been reached, the light will go out and you can continue ironing. This ensures that the appliance's temperature is not too high.

- For fabrics made from mixed fibres, adjust the iron's temperature setting for the most delicate fibre.

- If you have not used the appliance for a number of weeks, first carry out the procedure described in 'Using for the first time'.

- If you are using starch, clean the soleplate every so often with a soft, damp cloth to prevent scale build-up during use.
