Frequently Asked Questions - PV2030 SOLAC

What water to use in the SOLAC PV2030 iron?

Use tap water unless very hard. In that case, mix with distilled water (see hardness table). Never add chemicals, perfumes, or vinegar.

How to fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the filling lid (5). Tilt the iron vertically and pour water using the measuring cup (13) without exceeding the maximum level. Close the lid.

How to use the super steam function?

During steam ironing, press the super steam button (8) 2 to 3 times with an interval of 5 seconds. For a stronger burst, reduce the steam flow (10) to minimum.

How to use vertical ironing?

Hang the garment on a hanger. Set the steam selector (10) to off and temperature (9) to MAX. Hold the iron 15-30 cm from the fabric and press the super steam button (8). Wait a few seconds between each press.

How to clean the iron soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Use a damp cloth and eco-friendly clay-based products. Never use sharp or abrasive objects.

How to perform self-cleaning?

Fill the tank halfway. Place the iron vertically, plug it in and set temperature to MAX. When the light turns off, set temperature to MIN and unplug. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink and press the self-cleaning button (11) while moving back and forth until water and steam come out.

What to do if the iron does not produce steam?

Check that the tank contains enough water and that the selected temperature is sufficient (between •• and MAX). Ensure the steam regulator (10) is not in the off position. If the problem persists, perform self-cleaning.

How to dry iron with this iron?

Set the steam regulator (10) to off (fig. 2) to prevent water leaks. Plug in the iron and set the desired temperature (9). The indicator light (12) turns off when temperature is reached.

What are the important safety precautions?

Anti-limescale system (only Mod. PV 2030)

This iron has a built-in resin filter that retains the limescale in the water, so that the iron has a longer life.

3 Use

This appliance has been designed exclusively for ironing clothes. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Remove all transport and packaging elements.
If the appliance is hot, handle it with care and do not touch the metal soleplate.
▲ Never leave the iron in a horizontal position when the soleplate is hot. Rest it on its rear end.
When filing the water tank, always ensure the cord is unplugged and use the beaker (13).
Take care with the steam, do not aim it at people, animals or delicate objects.
▲ Always iron on stable, solid and smooth surfaces.
For very delicate garments, place a cloth between the iron and the delicate garment to avoid potential markings from the soleplate.

Before the first use

Before using it for the first time, use it to iron an old towel, so as to clean the system.

1 Fill the water tank as explained in the "Steam ironing" section.
2 Extend the cord completely and plug it into the mains. The temperature pilot light (12) comes on. Place the iron in the vertical position.
3 Set the temperature selector (9) to the MAX position and wait for a few minutes for the iron to reach the appropriate temperature (the temperature pilot will go out).
4 Set the steam selector (10) to the completely open position (fig. 2): steam will start to come out of the orifices in the soleplate.
5 Take the iron by the handle and slide the soleplate over an old towel.
6 When the water tank is empty, no more steam will be produced. The iron is ready for use.

Do not worry if the iron gives off a little smoke when used for the first time. This will go away quickly.

Selecting the temperature

- Check whether the garment to be ironed has a label indicating the ironing temperature. We recommend you sort the garments according to their required ironing temperature and begin with the garments that are ironed with the lowest temperature ( ).

SYNTHETIC FIBRES, minimum temperature ( ) SILK, WOOL, medium temperature ( ) COTTON, high temperature ( ) LINEN, MAX temperature

Ironing delicate garments at a temperature higher than necessary spoils the fabric and causes burnt residue to stick to the soleplate.
If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment, perform a test on a part which won't be seen, beginning with the lowest temperature settings.
When changing the position of the temperature selector (9), either to increase or reduce the temperature, several minutes must pass before the iron reaches the selected temperature.

Steam ironing

1 With the iron unplugged from the mains, slide the steam control (10) to the closed position (Fig. 1).
2 Open the water filler opening (5). Fill the water tank without exceeding the maximum level, using the beaker provided (13) and keeping the iron in the vertical position (Fig. 4). When the tank is full, close the cap.
When filling the tank, make sure that the water does not overflow from the water filler opening.
Use only water, with no added detergents, scents, vinegar or chemical products. Tap water can be used, unless it has an excessive amount of limescale, in which case it is recommended to use distilled or demineralised water (see table 1). Do not use ionised water for batteries.
3 Plug the iron into the mains. To obtain steam, set the temperature selector (9) between levels •• and medium and MAX, depending on the garment to be ironed. When the pilot light (12) goes off, indicating that the desired temperature has been reached, adjust the steam control (10) until the desired steam flow is obtained (Fig. 3).

Table 1

TAP WATER HARDNESS	WATER TO BE USED IN THE IRON
Very soft water (up to 7° f)	100% tap water
Soft water (up to 15° f)	50% distilled water + 50% tap water
Medium water (up to 25° f)	75% distilled water + 25% tap water
Hard water (more than 25° f)	100% distilled water

Supersteam

If you want more steam while ironing, press the button (8) two or three times, aim the supersteam at the desired area of the garment and pass the iron soleplate over it to dry it. This function is useful for removing creases.
• We recommend pressing the control at 5-second intervals.
- If you want more supersteam power, slide the steam control (10) to minimum.

Vertical steam

It allows you to remove creases from delicate garments without having to place them on the ironing board: jackets, overcoats, curtains, etc.

1 Fill the water tank as explained in the "Steam ironing" section.
2 Place the garment on a hanger, well away from other garments, people, animals, etc.
Do not discharge steam onto a garment hanging in the wardrobe or on a person.
3 Set the steam control (10) to the closed position and the temperature selector (9) to the MAX position.
4 Bring the iron, in the vertical position, close to the garment (between 15 and 30 cm) and press the supersteam button (8) once only. Do not place the iron too close to the garment as it could cause damage.
5 Wait a few seconds before pressing the button (8) again, so as not to damage the garment. Most creases can be removed with three blasts of steam.

Dry ironing

1 If there is water in the tank, turn the steam control (10) to the closed position (Fig. 2), to prevent water from coming out.
2 Plug in the iron and set the temperature selector (9) to the desired position. The pilot light (12) will go off when the temperature is reached.

Spray ironing

Spray can be obtained by pressing the corresponding button (7) when dry ironing or ironing with steam. The temperature level does not matter.

- Press the spray button (7) as many times as you want to use this function.

Emptying the water tank

When you finish ironing, always empty the water from the tank.

1 Place the steam selector (10) in the closed position (fig. 1).
2 Unplug the plug from the mains
3 Open the water filler opening (5) and place the iron face down over the sink, gently shaking it to completely empty the tank.
4 Wait until the iron is completely cold and store it in the vertical position in a secure place.

4 Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the appliance before using it for the first time, immediately after each use and after not using it for a long period of time.
⚠ Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning it.

1 Clean the outside of the iron with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

2 Use clay-based, environmentally friendly products to clean the soleplate. Do not use sharp objects.

Self-cleaning

It is advisable to carry out the self-cleaning operation about once a month, depending on the frequency of use and the hardness of the water used.

1 Ensure that the tank is half filled with water.
2 Place the iron in the vertical position.
3 Plug in the iron and turn the temperature selector (9) to the MAX position.
4 Wait for the pilot light to go off (12) indicating that the desired temperature has been reached.
5 Turn the temperature selector (9) to the MIN position and unplug the iron from the mains.
6 Place the iron in the horizontal position over a sink or an appropriate container and press the self-clean button (11), keeping the iron in this position and swinging it gently from side to side. Steam and water will come out from the holes in the iron, flushing out dirt and impurities.

Be careful when performing this operation, as the water and steam are very hot and can cause burns.

7 Place the iron in the vertical position and wait for it to cool completely.

8 Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.

Remember that damage caused by the effects of limescale is not covered in the warranty.
