Frequently Asked Questions - Matica 1160 Ceramic TERMOZETA

How to use the steam function?

Fill the water tank with tap water. Select a temperature suitable for the fabric (wool, cotton, etc.). Press the steam button to get a steam burst. For continuous steam, adjust the steam flow slider.

What to do if the iron no longer heats up?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the socket works. Ensure the heating indicator light is on. If the problem persists, the auto shut-off may have been activated: shake the iron to reactivate. Consult the manual if necessary.

How to clean the ceramic soleplate?

Allow the iron to cool. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the soleplate. Do not use abrasive products. Avoid touching the hot soleplate.

What types of water can I use?

We recommend tap water. If your water is very hard, mix it with an equal amount of demineralised water. Do not use pure distilled or demineralised water alone, as it may cause leaks.

How to descale the iron?

Use the built-in anti-scale function (Calc'net). Fill the water tank, set the temperature to maximum, then press the self-cleaning button while holding the iron over the sink. Repeat if necessary.

Why does water leak from the soleplate?

This may be due to a temperature too low for steam (insufficient anti-drip function). Increase the temperature or wait until the iron is hot enough. Also check that the tank is not overfilled.

What temperature for ironing cotton?

Set the thermostat to the high position (usually 3 dots or max). For cotton, use steam.

The iron turns off by itself, is this normal?

Yes, this is the safety auto shut-off function. If the iron remains stationary for more than 8 minutes upright or 30 seconds horizontally, it turns off. Shake it to turn it back on.

Can I iron vertically?

Yes, the iron is suitable for vertical ironing. Use the steam function to de-wrinkle hanging garments, keeping a safe distance.

How to store the iron after use?

Empty the water tank. Allow to cool completely. Wrap the cord around the base and store it upright on a stable surface.

FOR STEAM IRONING

HOW TO FILL THE BOILER WITH WATER

• Always unplug the iron from the outlet when filling the boiler with water.
- Unscrew cap (5) counterclockwise and slowly pour the water through the boiler opening by using the provided funnel to avoid any leakage. Screw up the cap again clockwise.
- Only use running water to fill the boiler without exceeding its maximum capacity: never add detergents, chemical additives or water softeners.

SUGGESTION: If water in your area is particularly calcareous, it is advisable to use distilled water.

WARNING!

Never unscrew the boiler cap (5) while the appliance is working but wait for the appliance to completely cool down before opening it.

STARTING UP

• Rest the appliance on a firm flat surface.
• Place the iron on the boiler base (3).
• Fill up the boiler as described in the previous paragraph.
• Completely unwind the power cord (7) and plug into the outlet.
• Press the on/off button (2) on the boiler taking it to (ON).
• Turn the iron temperature control knob (17) to the steam ironing position.
• The pilot light (18) on the iron will go on immediately and will go out a few minutes later, when the required temperature is reached.
• When the pilot light (8) goes on, it is possible to use the jet of steam.
• During operation, the iron light (18) and the “steam ready” pilot light (8) go on and then automatically go out indicating that the iron temperature and the pressure in the boiler are constantly under control.
• Rest the iron on the boiler base (3) during ironing pauses.

IRONING

• Press button (14) on the iron for the steam jet: the steam will stop coming out when you release the button.
• To use the continuous steam function, press the steam button (14) and at the same time slide cursor (15) towards the cork handle. To disable this function, slide cursor (15) in the opposite direction to the handle.
• With the iron held upright at a distance of about 20 cm you can use the jet of steam to smooth out creases and freshen up clothes while they are hanging. Avoid carrying out this operation on any worn garment as the steam is extremely hot and it is possible to get burned.
• Before ironing delicate fabrics it is best to make trial run on a hidden piece e.g. the hem.
• We advise you to iron more delicate fabrics needing low temperatures first, then go on ironing more resistant fabrics needing higher temperatures.
• The amount of steam you want to use during ironing can be set via the steam control dial (10): for more steam, turn the dial in a clockwise direction, for less steam, turn the dial in a counter clockwise direction.

WARNING!

Some drops of water may leak out of the iron soleplate (13) when the first jet of steam starts coming out; this is quite normal and is due to condensation forming inside the iron-boiler connecting tube (6).

This will disappear with the following jets of steam. It is therefore not recommended to point the first jet of steam directly on the item to be ironed. The iron must be used and left at rest on a firm surface.

NO MORE WATER DURING USE

• When the water in the boiler is missing, the indicator lamp (9 ⚡) will light on.
