Warning: Do not carry your appliance by the iron.

4-GB

Chapter 2: Preparation for Use

Due to the powerful output of steam, Hoover recommends the use of an active ironing board with blowing and vacuuming function which allows escape of any excess steam.

Place the ironing system on a stable and level surface, for example on the hard part of an ironing board or on a heat-resistant surface.

Chapter 2.1 - What Kind of Water May be Used?

The Hoover ironing system has been designed to be used with tap water only. There is no need to use distilled or pure distilled water. Nevertheless, in case you live in a hard water area, you can mix 50% of distilled water with 50% of tap water. Do not use any other kind of water or do not add any contents to the removable water tank as it can damage your appliance.

Chapter 2.2 - Filling the Water Tank

Open the water tank filler cover (4) to gain access to the water tank. Fill it with tap water with the help of a bottle. Do not exceed the max mark.

Fig. 8: Water Tank Filling

Warning: Do not add vinegar, hot water, perfume, or any other kind of chemical agents or any other contents in the water tank. It could damage the steam generator and shorten its life use.

Chapter 2.3 - Switching On the Appliance

Domestic Iron Models:

Connect the appliance with the mains cord to an earthed socket and switch on the power. Press the on/off switch. The light (1a) will illuminate, this tells you that the appliance is working and that the boiler is heating up.

N.B.

The first time the appliance is used, you may find some fumes and a noticeable smell appear. This is quite normal and will disappear quickly.

Chapter 3: Using Your Steam Generator

Select the temperature of the soleplate by turning the dial (10) on the iron to the desired position. Wait a few moments until the temperature indicator (13) is off. It will indicate to you that the soleplate has reached the requested temperature.

While ironing, the temperature dial indicator may turn on and off, the temperature adjusts without interrupting your ironing.

Help

Check the laundry care label of the garment to select the best temperature for each textile. Please note that during use, the temperature light goes on from time to time. It signifies that the iron is heating up to the set temperature. If your garment is made with various kinds of fibers always select the soleplate temperature to reflect the most delicate fabric.

If the temperature is too low, some drops of water could escape from the soleplate. Please raise up the temperature above the 2 dots ( ) to avoid this issue.

Chapter 3.2 - Ironing

Dry Ironing

Domestic Iron Models:

Select the temperature of the soleplate following the indications of chapter 3.1. When the soleplate reaches the required temperature, start your ironing without pressing the steam trigger (11).

Professional Iron Models:

Only turn on the iron switch (1d). Select the temperature of the soleplate following the instructions in chapter 3.1. Start your ironing when the soleplate reaches the appropriate temperature.

Steam Ironing

Select the temperature of the soleplate following the instructions in chapter 3.1. On the stand, when the steam function is ready, the dedicated lamp (1d) will turn off. Starting from that time you can begin your ironing and press the steam trigger (11). The steam flow stops when you release the trigger.

You have the possibility to regulate the steam flow with the Multi Steam Technology selector (12). In order to achieve the best results, please refer to the dedicated chapter 3.3 for more information.

Fig. 10: Steam Trigger Lock Graphic

N.B.

During use, you may hear noise coming from your steam generator. This is normal. It signifies that a pump is injecting water into the boiler. Ideally, avoid using the steam trigger at this precise moment to avoid a fall in pressure.

Chapter 3.3 - How to Choose the Correct Soleplate Temperature and Steam?

7-GB

To obtain the best results, it is really important to set the correct temperature of the soleplate and the steam flow you are using. Your Hoover appliance has a unique Multi Steam Technology selector (12). If correctly used, it will simplify your ironing and provide outstanding results, making ironing easier and faster.

Your iron features innovative Multi Steam Technology, you can use steam on most textiles to give great results. You have the choice between 3 preset settings: Diffuse Caresse, Profound Care and Precise Power. Each setting will adapt the humidity, power and direction of the steam flow, so you can adapt the steam flow to suit the garment giving outstanding results.

Diffuse Caresse

This steam flow is dedicated to iron with great care the most delicate textiles like silk and cashmere with a soft and delicate flow. A reduced steam flow is spread carefully in front of the iron on a large part of textile. Fibres are better loosened in order to take away delicately and faster all the creases.

Precise Power

The flow is directed towards the tip. It permits to access the most difficult zones, like buttons, sleeves and loops through the concentrated flow in the tip and offers a constant, concentrated and powerful sprout. Difficult zones are better humidified and hence creases removed faster.

Profound Care

This vertical steam flow allows removing more easily and quickly the wrinkles on all textiles with a strong and humid jet. Steam impregnates better the fibres and the large soleplate dries the textile. Wrinkles are therefore removed faster.

Help

When steam ironing clothes on which shiny patches may occur, we recommend you to set the soleplate temperature to a lower temperature or iron the garment on the reverse.

Start with the fabrics that needed to be ironed at a lower temperature ( · ) and finish with those that needed to be ironed at the higher temperature ( .../Max ).

Chapter 3.4 - Vertical Steam Ironing

Set the soleplate temperature to the max temperature and set the Multi Steam Technology selector (12) to the Profound care program.

Hang curtains and clothes (jackets, suits, coats). Hold the iron in vertical position at a short distance of the fabric to avoid burning it. Press the steam trigger (11) to steam iron moving it from top to bottom.

Warning: Do not direct the steam jet towards people or animals.

Chapter 3.5 - Refilling the Water Tank During Usage

You can fill the water tank at any time during use.

When the water tank is empty, the "Empty water tank" light (1b) will switch on. No more steam escapes from the soleplate. Open the water tank filler cover (4) and refill the water tank with the help of a bottle of water without exceeding the max mark level.

Please refer to chapter 2.2 for more detailed instructions.

Chapter 4: Maintenance and Cleaning

To prevent any risk of burns, all maintenance and cleaning operations should only be carried out when the unplugged appliance has cooled down for at least 2 hours.

Chapter 4.1 - Cleaning the Appliance

Do not use any detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate. Regularly clean it with a humid and non-metallic pad.

Empty the water tank after each use before storing it.

To clean the plastic parts of the stand, please use soft clothes.

Chapter 4.2 - Rinsing the Boiler for Scale Maintenance

In order to maximise the life of your appliance, you should rinse the boiler every 2 months to avoid scale deposit in the boiler.

Before proceeding, be sure that the appliance is cooled down and unplugged for at least 2 hours.

Place the stand on the edge of your sink and place the iron on a flat surface. Remove the calc removal cap (15). Unscrew the boiler rinse safety cap anti-clockwise with a coin and remove it. Fill the boiler with 0,2 liters of tap water using a funnel and a bottle. Shake the stand and then empty the boiler completely, filing out the water in the sink. We recommend repeating this operation twice. Screw the boiler rinse safety cap with a coin and put back the calc removal cap (15).

9-GB

48001377 -1 - Ironspeed SF - User Manual.pdf 11/03/2010 11:01:35
