Frequently Asked Questions - 628490010 Eta

How do I use the steam function on my Eta 628490010 iron?

Fill the water tank (max 300 ml) and set the thermostat to a steam-compatible temperature (marked area on the dial). Once the control light turns off, move the steaming regulator away from 0 to start steam. The more you move it towards MAX, the more steam is produced.

What type of water should I use in the iron?

Use common clean drinking water. For hard water (above 15°N), mix tap water with distilled water: medium hardness 2:1, hard 1:1, very hard 1:2. Never use water from freezers, dryers, air conditioners, or water with additives like starch, perfume, or vinegar.

Why is water dripping from the ironing plate?

Possible causes: the water tank lid is not closed properly, the temperature is too low (set higher), the steam shock function was used at low temperature, or the SELF CLEAN button was pressed accidentally. Also, if the iron is placed horizontally with water in the tank and steam regulator not at 0, it may drip.

How do I clean the iron using the Self-Clean function?

Unplug the iron, fill half the water tank, set thermostat to MAX, plug in, wait for control light to turn off, then unplug. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink and press the SELF CLEAN button repeatedly (2-3 times) for about 5 seconds each. Water will flush out. Repeat if necessary, then iron a clean cloth to dry the plate.

Does the iron have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, for models ETA 2284 and ETA 6284/10. The iron switches off automatically after 30 seconds of inactivity in horizontal position or if tilted, and after 10 minutes in vertical position. The control light flashes and a beep sounds. It restarts automatically when you move the iron.

Can I use the iron vertically for steaming hanging clothes?

Yes, the VERTICAL SYSTEM allows steaming of hanging textiles. Set thermostat to the steam area (max position), wait for control light to turn off. Stretch the fabric with one hand, move the iron vertically bottom-up while pressing the intensive steaming button (not continuously, max 10 times). Keep a distance of 10-20 cm to avoid burning.

How do I store the iron after use?

After finishing, unplug the iron and empty any remaining water (be careful, it may be hot). Let the iron cool down. Turn the steaming regulator to 0, wind the power cord around the cord wind-up space, and place the iron in the rest position (vertical) out of reach of children.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check that the water tank has water, the steaming regulator is not at 0, and the thermostat is set to a temperature suitable for steaming (not too low). If the temperature is below the steam range, the DRIP STOP function prevents steam to avoid dripping.

How do I remove brown stains or residue from the ironing plate?

Brown stains may come from starched laundry or using improper water. Use the SELF CLEAN function and steam shock. For stubborn residue, clean the cooled plate with a mild detergent containing fine sand. Never use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

What do the symbols on the temperature dial mean?

The symbols correspond to fabric types: one dot = synthetic (SILON), two dots = wool/silk (VLNA/HEDVÁBÍ), three dots = linen/cotton (LEN/BAVLNA). Start ironing at the lowest temperature and increase as needed. For mixed fabrics, use the setting for the most delicate material.

III. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Remove all the packing material and take out the iron with the accessories. Remove any labels, protective foils or covers from the ironing plate before the first use. At first switch the iron ON to maximum temperature and let the iron at least 10 minutes running without water. The iron may produce slight smoke, which is cased by burning of used lubricants and seals in steam chamber. This is normal situation and does not form the reason for warranty claim. During first filling of the tank with operating water it is recommended to release the steam from whole tank outside the ironed fabric.

Ironing temperatures

• Sort laundry and iron according to the instructions for treatment (e.g. manufacturer's recommendation - the label on clothes). If the instruction is missing and you know the material of the clothes, follow the table on picture 3. The table applies to basic materials only, not to possible decorations, material treatment, etc.
• Start to iron from the lowest temperatures to higher temperatures. If clothes consist of e.g. two and more materials or if they contain stringing, purls, embossing, stretch material, etc., always iron according to the material requiring the lower temperature only. If you do not know the material, find the suitable place that is not visible when wearing and try suitable temperature for ironing at the place.
• When ironing woollen fabrics, we recommend ironing on the back side of the fabric and you can iron virgin wool through additional cloth. Velvet and similar fabrics can be ironed in one direction (you will prevent creation of glossy areas).
• Steam ironing is not suitable for fabrics from synthetic and silk fibers (e.g. acrylon, nylon, polyamide or polyester).
• We recommend using soft textile permeable base materials for steam ironing.
• Make sure that the ironed fabric is tensed up properly so that steam does not leak to the sides.
• For the ironing plate to remain smooth, protect it from direct contact with sharp metal objects (e.g. zip fasteners, buttons, snap buttons, decorative objects).

Ironing without steaming

Plug the power cord M to electric socket; control is lit. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7). Turn the steaming regulator D to the 0 position, steaming off (fig. 5) or pour out water from the container I. Set the program on the display using regulation wheel H according to the selected fabric material (Fig. 2). Reaching the required temperature is shown by turning the indicator lamp G OFF.

WARNING

– During ironing the thermostat will cycle, which is accompanied by characteristic sound (clicking). This is normal situation and does not form the reason for warranty claim related to the appliance.

Recommendation

Control H (Fig. 2) is marked with international symbols that recommend the optimum ironing temperature and they are the same as marking on some types of laundry and textiles (Fig. 3). When the temperature is increased from the cold state or if the temperature is set from higher to lower, we recommend waiting for a while (see the information on the display and listen for sound signalling) due to stabilization of the ironing plate temperature.

Steam ironing

Hold the iron in your hand, turn the steaming regulator D to the position 0 (Fig. 5) and slide the cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour in water to the container I (Fig. 4) with the enclosed cup O and close the filling hole lid in the opposite direction. Keep the position of the iron for pouring in water. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2 - ). Plug the power cord M to a socket. When the control light G goes off, move the steaming regulator D away from handle. The more you move the regulator towards MAX, the bigger amount of outgoing steam there will be (Fig. 5). Place the iron to the rest position, automatic creation of steam will stop (more steam may be going out for a short time).

Warning

• For all normal ironing the middle adjustment of the steam amount is recommended. Only on ironing the linen fabric, thick cotton and similar fabrics the adjustment of the steam amount to maximum value is recommended. Setting to high-pressure steam ironing os recommended only if the regulation wheel H is set to temperature setting ...
• Be extra careful to avoid accidental pushing of the SELF CLEAN button.
• When water container I is filled with water over the permitted limit (MAX. 300 ml), steam can be created even in the rest position.
• At places with hard water we recommend diluting it with distilled water. You will get the information about water hardness at the water-management authorities, or at the local sanitary station. For water hardness > 15 °N we recommend filling the iron in the following ratio:

Water hardness Ratio of tap water : distilled water

medium 2:1

hard 1:1

very hard 1:2

Sprinkling appliance (additional spray)

It is used for moistening fabrics and it is effective in ironing extremely creased fabrics. It is activated by repeated pressing of additional spray button E. We do not recommend applying additional spray for fine fabrics (e.g. silk and synthetic) as the used water may stain the fabric.

Intensive steaming (steam shock)

Use only if the steam ironing is insufficient. In this case press intensive steaming button F several times (Fig. 6A - ≈). Thus you will get additional steam except for the steam created by standard steaming.

Warning

When you press intensive steaming button F several times, water may drip from the ironing plate due to excess water in the steam chamber. Do not consider this as faulty operation.

VERTICAL SYSTEM

It is intensive vertical steaming for steaming of freely hanging textiles (such as hanging clothes, draperies, hangings). Set the regulation wheel H to the marked area for steaming (Fig. 2). As soon as the indication lamp G turns OFF, stretch the fabric slightly with one hand and move the iron vertically bottom-up (Fig. 6B - ). Press the intensive steaming button F so that you reach vertical steam hammer. Do not hold the intensive steaming button pressed continuously and do not use it more than 10 times consecutively.

CAUTION

• Prevent burning of sensitive fabrics, do not close them to the iron to distance of 10 to 20 cm.
• Use the VERTICAL function only if the regulation wheel H to the ⋯ or maximum position.
• Do not iron clothes that you or other people are wearing!
• Never direct steam flow to persons or animals!

DRIP STOP

The appliance prevents leaking water from the ironing plate when its temperature is insufficient.

Safety electronics (AUTO STOP – applies for type ETA 2284 and ETA 6284/10)

The safety electronics ensures switching OFF the iron plate heating within 30 seconds, when the iron is left without any movement in horizontal position or when it is tilted over to one side, or within 10 minutes, when it is left in vertical position. Function of safety electronics is signalled by flashing of indicator lamp G and by acoustic signal (beep). The iron is restarted automatically, when the ironing is resumed.

Self-cleaning system (SELF CLEAN)

Hold the iron disconnected from power supply in your hand, turn steaming regulator D to 0 position (Fig. 5) and lift off cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour water into container I using the enclosed cup O to fill half of it and close the filling hole lid (Fig. 4) by snapping it. Keep the position of the iron for pouring water in it. Put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the maximum position. Plug power cord M into a socket. When the control light G switch off, disconnect the iron from the electric power. Hold the iron in the horizontal position over a sink. Press the SELF CLEAN button repeatedly (two to three times), each time for about 5 seconds.

Then wait till water stops going out from the ironing plate. If the iron still contains a lot of impurities, repeat the procedure while pushing the intensive steaming button between individual pushing of the SELF-CLEAN button. After completing the cleaning, plug the iron into the electric power, set the selected program and then iron a clean piece of cotton cloth so that the ironing plate is cleaned. Clean the ironing plate using the SELF CLEAN function continuously.

Storage

After finishing ironing, pour out the unused water from the container (be careful, it can be hot), or let the rest of the water evaporate and let the iron cool down. Then turn regulator D to 0 position (steam switched off). Wind power cord M over the back side of cover L and put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 8) out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.

IV. MAINTENANCE

Before every maintenance, unplug the iron from power supply by taking the fork of the power cord out of the socket! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, peelers, pot scourers, caustic agents for cleaning or other solvents). Wipe the entire iron with a wet cloth in the cooled state and dry up. If brown film is created on the ironing plate (e.g. when ironing starched laundry), you can remove the film by a detergent containing fine sand.

The iron is equipped with a permanent decalcification system ANTI CALC that does not require maintenance. But the system cannot fully prevent creation of calcareous sediments.
