Groupe SEB USA - T-FAL 1690 Iron User Manual


 
Caution
The iron can only operate with the anti-scale rod in place.
3. Use the auto-cleaning function (twice a month).
Information:
• The auto-cleaning function reduces the amount of scale in the iron.
• Set your iron to "Cordless" and fill the tank up to the MAX indicator with tap
water.
• Set the thermostat control to MAX and the steam control to DRY.
• Place your iron on its base and wait for the indicator to go out.
• Hold it above the kitchen sink.
• Set the control to AUTOCLEAN and hold it there.
• When the soleplate is warm, wipe the iron with a soft cloth.
6 - STORING YOUR IRON
INFORMATION:
• You do not have to empty the tank.
• Unplug it and wait for the soleplate to cool down.
• Place the iron on its base and set the cursor to the lock position.
Your iron is now fixed to its base. You can transport and store them easily.
• Unfasten the base from the table.
• Wind the cord around the base and fasten the clip on the cord.
Caution:
• The cord winder avoids contact between the cord and the soleplate
which may still be hot.
• Tighten the table grip again so that you can fold it back into the base.
