Frequently Asked Questions - Thera FAKIR

Why does the iron emit an odor or smoke when first used?

This is normal. Oils used during manufacture need to be burned off. Allow the iron to operate at maximum temperature for about ten minutes until the odor disappears.

What type of water should I use?

It is recommended to use purified or distilled water with less calcium particles to minimize scale buildup. Do not use vinegar or other descalers in the water tank.

How do I use the self-clean function?

Fill the water tank, set temperature to max, wait for the pilot light to go off, then hold the iron over a sink and turn the steam knob to SELF CLEAN position. Steam and boiling water will flush out impurities. Release when tank is empty.

Why is the iron not producing steam?

Ensure the water tank is filled and the steam knob is set to a steam setting. The iron must be hot enough (pilot light off) and in horizontal position. If still no steam, check if anti-drip is active at low temp.

Why does the iron leak water?

The temperature may be too low. Set the steam knob to dry until the iron heats up. Also, do not use burst of steam too frequently; allow iron to reheat. Ensure the water tank cap is closed properly.

How should I store the iron?

Unplug and empty water tank. Let it cool completely. Store horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate. Do not wrap cord around hot iron.

Can I use the iron on silk or delicate fabrics?

Yes, but set to low temperature. Iron on the inner side to prevent shine. Do not spray water directly on silk to avoid staining.

Why does the burst of steam feature not work?

Ensure the water tank is at least 1/4 full and the temperature is set to steam position. The iron should be horizontal. Fully depress the burst button and allow a short pause between shots.

How do I clean the soleplate?

After the iron cools, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth or non-abrasive cleaner. Use the self-clean function regularly to remove deposits.

What does the anti-drip system do?

When ironing for a long time, the soleplate temperature may drop. The anti-drip system automatically prevents water from leaking out of the soleplate by stopping steam production until the temperature rises again.

Ironinig Tips

1- Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article. Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
2- The iron heats up quicker than cooling it down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibre.
3- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibres.
4- Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side. To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.
5- Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any moment.
6- Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position. Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry p cloth as a mat.

NOTE!

When ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
