Frequently Asked Questions - PLV-125 FAGOR

How to fill the water tank?

Place the unplugged iron on a stable surface, set the steam regulator to position '0', then slowly pour water through the filling opening using a cup without exceeding the maximum level. After use, empty the tank.

How to use dry ironing?

Place the iron on a heat-resistant surface, set the temperature selector to MIN and the steam regulator to 'dry ironing' position. Plug in, select the temperature, and iron. The spray button can dampen the laundry.

How to use the steam function?

Fill the water tank, place the iron on its heel, plug in and set the temperature to MAX. Once the indicator light turns off, turn the steam regulator to a steam position. In horizontal position, steam comes out of the soleplate.

What to do if the iron does not emit steam?

Gently tap the soleplate on the ironing board to start the steam. Make sure the temperature is high enough (MAX position) and that the tank contains water.

How to clean the iron after use?

Unplug the iron and let it cool. Clean the exterior and soleplate with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products. Empty the tank after each use.

How to perform self-cleaning?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

5. DRY IRONING

1. Place the iron on a stable, heat-resistant surface

2. Put the temperature control (8) in the MIN position (Fig. B)

3. Ensure that the steam regulator (4) is in the dry ironing position (fig. C)
4. Stand the iron in the upright position, resting it on its stand (10) and plug it in.
5. Select the ironing temperature using the temperature control (8). The LED indicator (9) will light up.
6. When the LED indicator (9) switches off, the iron has reached the selected temperature.
   This LED indicator will light up and switch off during ironing indicating the thermostat's cycles. Bear in mind that if you lower the temperature, the LED light (9) will remain off until the soleplate (13) has come down to the selected temperature and, at that moment, it will light up again.
7. Press the spray button (5) to dampen the garment as this makes dry ironing easier. See section eight, sprayer.
8. When you have finished, turn the temperature selector to the MIN position and unplug the iron. Let it cool down before proceeding to clean it on the outside and put it away.

Warning: For dry ironing, make sure that the steam regulator is always in the dry ironing position. (Fig. C)

6. FILLING THE WATER TANK

Put the unplugged iron on a stable surface.

1. Move the steam regulator (4) to the "0" position.
2. Slowly pour the water through the opening for water (3) with the help of a glass (Fig. D). Do not pour any cleaning product or solvent into the water tank (12).
3. Check that the water does not go beyond the maximum filling level.
4. After ironing, empty the water tank (12).
   Note: If the water in your area is too hard ( >27^ F) we recommend using distilled water. Do not use battery water or water containing additives such as starch, perfume, fabric conditioner, etc.

7. STEAM IRONING

Before ironing with steam, check that the fabric is suitable for this type of ironing. The appliance works with normal water.

1. Place the unplugged iron on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Fill the tank with water (refer to section 6, "Filling the Tank").
3. Position the temperature control (8) in the MIN position (Fig. B).
4. Stand the iron in the upright position, resting it on its stand (10).
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature selector to the "MAX" position. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip from the soleplate.
   The LED indicator (9) will light up. When the LED indicator switches off, the iron has reached the selected temperature. This LED indicator (9) will light up and switch off at regular intervals during ironing. If you lower the temperature, the LED indicator (9) will remain off until the soleplate has come down to the selected temperature and, at that moment, it will light up again.
6. Turn the steam regulator (4) to the steam ironing position (fig E). Place the iron in the horizontal position and steam will start to come out through the openings. In the event that the iron does not give out steam, gently knock the soleplate against the ironing surface. Whenever you stand the iron in the upright position, resting it on its stand, steam will stop coming out.

Warning! Avoid contact with the steam and do not direct it at people

When you have finished, turn the temperature selector to the MIN position (Fig. B) move the steam regulator to the dry ironing position (Fig. C), unplug the iron and empty the tank as shown in Fig. F. The tank must be emptied after each use. Leave the iron in the upright position until it cools down.

Note: If during ironing you need to refill the tank, unplug the iron to fill it with water.

8. SPRAYER (Fig. G)

To use this function, there must be water in the tank. Press the spray button (5) (Fig. G) to spray water for dampening dry or difficult-to-iron fabrics such as linen, cotton or wool, or to act on stubborn creases. It can also be useful for dampening creases left in the garment during ironing. Water sprays out through the spray nozzle (2).

9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the iron and wait until it cools down before starting to clean it.

Clean the iron's outside and soleplate with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasive products for cleaning.

The surface of the soleplate (13) must always be clean. To clean it, simply wipe the surface when it is cold with a damp cloth. To prevent the soleplate from getting scratched, you should avoid ironing zips, metal buttons, etc. You should also not place the iron on metal or rough surfaces.

After each use, empty the water tank (12) (Fig. F) and let the iron cool down before putting it away.

Do not submerge the iron in water or place it under a running tap.

Self-cleaning

With a view to preventing the build-up of harmful minerals which could block up the iron and also to ensure it heats up and vaporizes properly, you are advised to use this function at least once a month, depending on the hardness of the water and how much the iron is used.

1. Fill the water tank (12) up to the half-way point (Fig. D)
2. Place the iron on the soleplate (13).
3. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature selector (8) to the "MAX" position. Wait until the LED indicator (9) switches off then on two or three times to make sure that the established temperature has been reached.

4. Position the steam control (8) in the steam position (Fig. E). Unplug the iron.

5. Place the iron in the horizontal position in a hand basin or the kitchen sink. The dirt will come out of the opening, together with the steam.

6. Switch off the steam button (Fig. C)
7. Move the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate.
8. Empty the water tank (Fig. F)
9. Let the iron cool down before putting it away.
