Frequently Asked Questions - NZ 190 ECG

How do I fill the water tank?

Ensure the iron is unplugged. Hold the iron tilted, set steam control to 'min', and pour water into the filling hole up to the max mark using the supplied container.

Can I use tap water?

It is recommended to use distilled or boiled water. Do not use tap water directly; use the supplied container to fill. Avoid chemical additives.

How do I use the steam burst function?

Set temperature to high (••• or MAX). Wait for the indicator light to turn off, then press the steam burst button. For vertical steaming, hold the iron upright and press the button.

What does the anti-drip system do?

The anti-drip system automatically stops steam output when the temperature is too low, preventing water leaks and stains on delicate fabrics.

How do I clean the iron?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not immerse in water. Use the self-cleaning mode every 14 days to remove mineral deposits.

How do I use the self-cleaning mode?

Fill the tank to max, set temperature to MAX. After about 3 minutes, press and hold the self-cleaning button for 1 minute over a sink. Steam and hot water will flush the chamber.

What precautions should I take when ironing?

Always unplug when filling. Do not leave unattended. Keep away from children. Do not use near flammable items. Allow iron to cool before storing.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check if the water tank is filled. Ensure temperature is set to steam range (••• or MAX). The anti-drip system may stop steam if temperature is too low. Wait for the indicator light to go out.

Can I iron silk or wool with this iron?

Yes, but use low (•) or medium (••) temperature settings. Iron silk and wool inside out to prevent shine. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

How should I store the iron?

After use, empty the water tank, set steam control to min, temperature to min. Let cool completely. Store upright in a dry place. Do not wrap cord around hot iron.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before putting into operation

Remove the protective foil from the soleplate first! The iron must be used and stored on a stable surface.

When ironing for the first time, heat the iron to the highest degree without using water. During this process, smoke and bad smell may come from the iron, though will vanish shortly. The water reservoir can be filled afterwards. After filling and heating the iron, leave it to produce steam for at least 1 minute while occasionally pressing the steam button. This removes any residue from production. We recommend trying the iron on some common fabric, e.g. a dish towel, prior to using it on your laundry for the first time.

Filling the water tank

Be sure the iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet before fi lling with water!

Hold the iron in a tilted position, switch the steam control to "min" and pour water into the open filling hole up to the max symbol. You can use distilled water or tap water in the iron. Do not fill the iron with water directly from the tap, use the container supplied with the iron!

Temperature settings

Before ironing, sort the garments according to the international textile care and labelling codes found on tags. If these are missing, separate the garments based on the type of fabric.

Laundry tag Type of fabric Temperature control
	Chemical fi bresse.g. polyester, viscose	·low temperature
	Silk, wool	··medium temperature
	Cotton, fl ax	··high temperature
	Fabrics which can not be ironed

We recommend ironing fabrics with uncommon surfaces (e.g. filters, embroidery, printings etc.) at the lowest temperature.

As far as mixes are concerned (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetic material), set the temperature control according to the fabric requiring the lower temperature.

If you are not sure of the fabric composition, determine the suitable temperature by performing a test on the least noticeable part of clothing. Begin with the lowest temperature and slowly increase until the ideal temperature is achieved.

Never iron spots with traces of perspiration etc.: heat from the iron fixates fabric stains which cannot be removed.

Removing grease stains is more effect using a dry iron at medium temperature: excessive heat burns the grease and could result in the formation of yellow stains.

Iron silk, wool and synthetic fabrics inside out to prevent shiny stains from appearing.

Iron velvet fabrics in one direction (in the direction of fibres) and do not press on the iron to prevent shiny stains from appearing.

The more laundry put into the washing machine, the more wrinkled the laundry will be. Laundry will also wrinkle more during high speed centrifugation.

Many fabrics are easier to iron if not completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed moist.

Use the temperature control to set the ironing temperature according to the type of fabric. A lit indicator signals the heat-up process of the soleplate. The indicator light going out signals the required temperature has been reached and the ironing process can begin.

The plate temperature indicator occasionally lights up when ironing, indicating the temperature setting is maintained. After finishing your ironing at a high temperature and reducing the temperature, do not continue using the iron until the soleplate temperature indicator lights up again.

Note: Since the cooling process takes longer than the heating process, ironing fabrics requiring lower temperatures first is recommended. This way you eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.

IRONING AND STEAMING

Spraying

Press the sprinkling button to dampen hard to remove creases. Make sure there is enough water in the tank.

Ironing without steam

To use as a dry iron, set the steam control to the steam out off position and set the temperature according to the type of fabric.

Ironing with steam

Set the temperature control to ... or MAX and the steam control to the steam out off position. As soon as the heating indicator switches off, set the steam control to the desired value. Steam will begin to emit from the iron plate, you may now begin to iron.

Ironing with the steam burst

Press the spray button to iron hard to remove creases with a strong steam spray.

For fine fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric or to inserting a damp cloth between the fabric and iron before using the spray function.

Vertical steam burst

Hold the iron in an upright position and hold the spray button down to iron and straighten creased drapes, curtains, clothes etc. Wait a few seconds before pressing again. The spray function is only available at high temperatures. Stop using the spray function as soon as the soleplate temperature indicator lights up. Continue ironing only after the indicator light goes out.

Attention: Never direct the steam at persons or animals.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

ANTI-CALC system

The anti-calc feature filters minerals contained in the water and prevents them from settling in the steam chamber.

ANTI-DRIP system

The iron automatically stops the steam output when the temperature is too low to prevent water leaking from the ironing area when the temperature is low.

The iron can cool down to a temperature at which the steam process is not carried out, however, drops of boiling water can cause stains. The anti-drip system is automatically activated in cases like this, preventing the vaporization process so you can iron even the finest of fabrics without the risk of staining or damaging them.

Self-cleaning mode

Attention: Perform the procedure above a sink or other suitable area.

Fill the iron tank using the supplied container to the maximum level, turn on the iron and set the temperature control to the maximum temperature. After about 3 minutes, press ⑭ auto-cleaning for about 1 minute. The steam chamber will be cleaned with a flow of steam and hot water. We recommend repeating this procedure every 14 days.

CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

After you have finished using the iron, open the nozzle lid, pour out the remaining water, set the steam control to minimum and the temperature control to minimum. Always make sure the steam iron is completely cooled, clean and dry before putting it away. Store the iron in an upright position.

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical output prior to performing any maintenance. Cleaning shall always be performed on a cooled appliance!

Remove any sediments, starch residue or softener using a moist (or wet) dish towel or a fi ne liquid cleaning agent and dry with soft dry fabric. Using wire wool or metal objects can scratch the soleplate. Never clean the iron under running water, do not rinse or immerse the iron into water!
