Vertical steam ironing
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand.The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a
hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing.
• Set the thermostat control to “MAX” – fig.8.
• Press the Turbo button repeatedly – fig.7moving the iron from top to bottom
– fig.9, wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.
Dry ironing
• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
• Set the steam control to “0” – fig.1.
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
Extra Functions
Ultracord System (depending on model)
Your iron has been designed with the Ultracord system to prevent the steam cord
from dragging across the linen and creasing it while ironing. It also allows you to
handle the iron more easily. To use the Ultracord system:
• Turn the Lock-System ring and put the indicator on the position – fig.10.
• The Ultracord system opens out automatically. You can now plug in your
appliance and begin to iron.
• Each time you put your iron on its heel, the Ultracord system closes automatically
and opens out each time you pick the iron up again.
Integral anti-scale system (depending on model)
Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system – fig.11. This system will help
to provide:
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• lasting performance from your appliance.
Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)
• The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning
light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in
a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds – fig.12.
• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
• If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because
of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the
soleplate.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)
• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• To remove the anti-scale valve, pull it up – fig.13.
• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for hours –
fig.14.
• Rinse the valve under running water.
• Replace the anti-scale valve.
Self-cleaning
• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it’s heel with
the thermostat set to “Max” and heat it up.
• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal
position, over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve – fig.13.
• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with
the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate – fig.15.
• At the end of the operation, push the anti-scale valve back into position.
• Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.
For easier use, always
use the Ultracord
system.
Hold the iron a few
centimetres from the
fabric to avoid burning
delicate fabrics.
When the Auto-Stop
warning light is on, it
is normal for the
thermostat light to
remain off.
When using the iron for
the first time, allow 2
minutes for steam to be
produced.
Be careful !
- Never touch the end
of the valve.
- The iron will not
function without the
anti-scale valve.
The self-cleaning
function helps to slow
down scaling in your
iron.
In order to extend the
life of your iron, use the
Self-Cleaning function
once a month.
