Frequently Asked Questions - Avanti FAKIR

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the water tank cap. Use the included measuring cup to fill with tap water up to the MAX line. Do not exceed. Close the cap securely.

What type of water should I use?

You can use ordinary tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% distilled water with tap water. Never use pure distilled or demineralized water as it may cause spitting.

How do I set the temperature?

Turn the temperature dial to match the fabric: Synthetic (low), Silk/Wool (medium), Cotton/Linen (high). Wait for the indicator light to go out before ironing.

Why is my iron leaking water?

Leaking may occur if the temperature is too low for steam. Ensure the dial is set to at least ●● (two dots) or higher. Also, do not overfill the tank and close the cap tightly.

How do I use the steam burst?

Press the Steam Burst button firmly. For best results, allow a few seconds between bursts. This is ideal for removing stubborn wrinkles on vertical fabrics like curtains.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For burnt residue, use a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse with a damp cloth.

What does the self-clean function do?

The self-clean function flushes out mineral deposits from the steam chamber. Fill tank to MAX, set temperature to max, hold iron over sink, and press self-clean button. Repeat until water runs clear.

How does the auto shut-off work?

If the iron is left horizontal for 30 seconds or vertical for 8 minutes without movement, it automatically turns off. Shake gently to reactivate. This prevents accidents.

Can I iron while standing vertically?

Yes, the iron has a vertical steaming function. Hold the iron upright, press the steam burst button to remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, curtains, or upholstery.

How do I store the iron?

Ensure the iron is cool and empty of water. Wrap the cord loosely around the cord storage. Store in an upright position on the heeling rest to protect the soleplate.

Before The First Use

Some parts of the steam iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron may slightly smoke when switched on for the first time. After a short time this will cease. Remove protection cover from the soleplate and clean it with a soft cloth.

Temperature Setting

Always check whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to an article to be ironed. Follow these instructions in all cases. Turn the temperature control dial round to set the appropriate temperature indicated in ironing instructions or in fabric label.

Label Type Of Textile

Do not iron this article

Synthetics, Nylon, Acrylics, Polyester, Rayon

Wool, Silk

Cotton, Linen

Insert the main plug into the wall socket. The indicator light will turn on. When the indicator light goes out you may start ironing. If you set the temperature control to lower setting after ironing at a high temperature, it is not recommended to iron before the pilot light switches on again.

Water Tank Filling

Unplug the iron before filling the water tank. Hold the steam iron in horizontal position. Slowly pour water through the water inlet. Do not fill higher than mark on the water tank, in order to avoid spilling out of water.

Your steam iron is designed to use tap water, however, if the water is very hard, it is advisable to use distilled water. The water tank should be emptied after each use.

NOTE!

if you empty the water tank after the steam iron has cooled down, set the steam iron upright position on its heel rest, plug it in and set the temperature control dial to the maximum position, heat for 2 minutes. Unplug the steam iron from the power supply.

Steam Ironing

Set the temperature control dial to the “..” or “...” position. Set the variable steam control to the desired position.

CAUTION!

Avoid coming in contact with ejected steam.

Spraying

As long as there is enough water in the water tank, you may use the spray button at any temperature setting during steam or dry ironing.

Press the spray button several times to activate the pump while you are ironing.

Burst Of Steam

The burst of steam feature provides additional steam for removing stubborn wrinkles. Turn the temperature control to “..” or “...” position. Turn the variable steam control to the maximum position. Press the powerful steam button to release the burst of steam.

NOTE!

To prevent water leakage from the soleplate, do not keep the powerful steam button pressed for more than 5 seconds.

Vertical Steam

Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank. Place the steam iron on its heel rest and plug it. Set the temperature control dial and variable steam control to their maximum positions. Hold the iron vertically and press the steam burst button.

The steam iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the water tank, it is best to avoid having the water tank full while dry ironing. Turn the variable steam control to the minimum position. Select the setting on the temperature control dial best suited for the fabric to be ironed.

CAUTION!

If the steam iron has been used for a long time, it is hot and there is no water. Do not refill it with water until the steam iron cools down.

Self-cleaning

Fill the half of the water reservoir. Set the temperature control to its maximum position. Insert the main plug into the wall socket. Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light goes out. Unplug the steam iron. Holding the iron horizontally over the sink, change the steam control to the maximum position. Boiling water and steam will be ejected from the holes in soleplate with impurities washed out. Move the iron over an old (preferably) piece of cloth. This ensures that the soleplate will be dry during storage.

When You Finished Ironing

Set the temperature dial to the minimum position. Remove the main plug from the wall socket. Stand the iron on heel rest.

Care And Cleaning

Before cleaning the steam iron ensure it is unplugged from the power supply and has completely cooled down. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Anti-calc System

A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.

Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralized water makes the "Zero-Calc", anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics. Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.

Anti-drip System

With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics. Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.

Auto Shut Off

When steam iron kept stable, to protect the steam iron and save the energy, it automatically shut off the power. Usually, the iron shut off within 8 minutes on vertical position and within 30 second on horizontal position. There is an auto shut off light on the rear water tank in red color. Before automatic shut off, the red light is turn on, and after the automatic shut off, the red light flashes.

Storage

Unplug the appliance from the power supply, empty the water tank (do it after each use) and allow steam iron to cool down completely. Wrap the cord around the heel rest. To protect the soleplate, place the steam iron in an upright position on its heel rest.
