Frequently Asked Questions - PL-140 FAGOR

How to fill the water tank of the FAGOR PL-140 iron?

Hold the iron vertically, open the filling hole and pour water without exceeding the MAX mark. Use distilled water if your water is hard. Never use battery water, starch, perfume, or softener.

How to use the extra steam function?

Set the temperature selector to MAX to avoid water leakage. Press the extra steam button (5) several times to activate it. Wait about 5 seconds between each press. This function also works in vertical position for vertical ironing.

How to clean the iron's soleplate?

Unplug the iron and let it cool. Clean the outside of the soleplate with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, vinegar, or descaling products. Avoid ironing over staples, metal buttons, or rough surfaces.

How to perform the self-cleaning of the iron?

Fill the water tank, plug in the iron and set the temperature selector to MAX. Wait for the indicator light to turn off and on 2 or 3 times. Set the temperature selector to Min and unplug the iron. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink, set the function selector to self-cleaning position until steam and hot water drops flow out. Tilt the iron to completely empty the tank, press the extra steam button several times, then wipe the soleplate with a dry cloth.

What type of water to use in the FAGOR PL-140 iron?

If your water is hard, use distilled water. Never use battery water, water with starch, perfume, or softener, as this could damage the appliance.

How to use the spray?

Make sure the tank is filled with water. Press the spray button (4) several times to activate the spray. This moistens the fabrics before ironing.

What to do if the iron does not emit steam?

Check that the temperature selector is set between ●●● and MAX, and that the function selector is in steam position. If steam does not come out, tap the soleplate lightly on the ironing board. Place the iron vertically to stop the steam.

What are the essential safety instructions?

Always unplug the iron before filling or emptying the tank. Never immerse the appliance in water. Keep it out of reach of children. Use a grounded outlet. Do not pull the cord to unplug. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service.

How to store the iron after use?

After ironing, set the temperature selector to MIN and the function selector to dry ironing position. Unplug the iron, empty the tank, let it cool, and store it in an upright position in a dry place.

What to do if the iron has a malfunction?

If you observe a malfunction (cord, excessive heat, leak, etc.), stop using the appliance immediately and contact an Authorized Technical Assistance Service. Repairs by unqualified personnel can be dangerous.

• Plug the iron into the mains and select the temperature according to the indications given on the label of the clothes to be ironed.

The temperature selector (9) is marked with the following symbols:

MIN Iron on

● Synthetics, acrylics

• Turn the temperature selector (9) to the steam position between ●●● and "MAX" position. The closer to "MAX" position the selector is, the more steam there will be.
• Turn the function selector (3) to a steam ironing position between the symbols (minimum) and (maximum). Place the iron in horizontal position and the steam will begin to come out of the holes in the soleplate. If no steam is coming out of the iron, gently tap the soleplate against the ironing surface. When the iron is stood up vertically the steam will stop coming out.

Warning! Avoid any contact with the steam and do not direct it towards people.
