After such time, if the iron is not moved for 8
minutes while in the upright position or 30 seconds
while resting on its soleplate or on its side, then
the safety circuit will switch the appliance off
automatically and the pilot light will start lashing.
To reconnect the iron, just move it about gently.

Drip protection
(model dependent)
lf the temperature is set too low, the steam is
automatically switched off to avoid dripping.
There may be an audible click when this occurs.
Fabric-protection
10
soleplate cover
(Model dependent)
The fabric-protection is used for steam-ironing
delicate garments at maximum temperature
without damaging them.
Use of the protector also does away with the need
for a cloth to prevent shine on dark materials.
It is advisable to irst iron a small section on the
inside of the garment to see if it is suitable.
To attach the fabric protector to the iron, place
the tip of the iron into the end of the fabric
protector and press the rear of the protector
upward until you hear a click. To release the
fabric protector, pull down on the clip at the rear
and remove the iron.
The fabric-protection soleplate cover may be
purchased from the customer service or specialist
shops :

Cleaning
attention ! risk of burns !
always unplug the appliance from the mains
supply before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance operation on it.
• If the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the
plug and allow the soleplate to cool down. Wipe
the housing and the soleplate with a damp
cotton cloth only.
• If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to
thehigh temperature on the soleplate, switch off
the steam and rub off any residue immediately
with a thickly folded, dry cotton cloth.
• To keep the soleplate smooth, you should
avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never
use a scouring pad, or chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
• Never decalcify the tank or treat it with
detergents or solvents, otherwise the iron will
drip water whilst steaming.
Tips to help you save
energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice
below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the
lowest ironing temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature
in the label on the garment.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use
the spray function instead.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp
and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be
generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing
them, set the tumble drier on the 'iron dry'
programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the
steam regulator completely.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting
it horizontally with the steam regulator on
generates wasted steam.
