Temperature Selection; Dry Ironing - ARIETE 6408/8 Manual De Instrucciones

The boiler is now automatically filled by a pump which produces a noise (vibration) lasting a few seconds every time it is
activated. Immediately after the vibration, a decrease of the steam emission could occur. This is perfectly normal, and a after
a few seconds the steam output will be normal again.
If the iron is left inactive for a long time, before ironing it is recommended to hold it level and deliver a few shots of steam
into the ground to stabilize the jet and eliminate any condensation.
steam adjustment
The appliance is equipped with a regulator (L) which allows the steam output to be adjusted from a minimum to a maximum
according to ironing requirements.
shot of steam
Place the steam control knob (L) to the maximum value (
for use. Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment knob (G) past the symbol (
(H) of the iron to turn off. When you press the steam button (F) from 3 to 5 seconds, a heavy steam jet is dispensed. The
steam jet stops when the button is released. If the steam supply button (F) is operated continuously for more than 30 sec-
onds, drops of water may come from the steam holes in the plate of the iron. It is recommended that the button (F) is used
for shorter periods.
continuous steam
Place the steam control knob (L) to the maximum value (
for use. Set the ironing temperature by turning the adjustment knob (G) past the symbol (
(H) of the iron to turn off. When the temperature is reached, press the steam button (E) Fig. 9. The button will stay locked,
making the jet of steam exit continuously and steadily. To release the button (E) and stop the continuous jet press the steam
button (F) placed under the handle Fig. 7. To avoid leaks of water drops from the holes of the plate it is necessary to adjust
the amount of steam according to the temperature of the iron. For example: if the thermostat knob (C) is on the low tempera-
•
ture symbol ( ), the steam control knob (L) must be placed to minimum, i.e. small amount of steam.

Temperature selection

First check whether the fabric has a label containing ironing instructions and compare the symbol with the instructions which
follow. If there is no label with instructions, but you know the type of material, follow the instructions below.
Note that the table refers to fabrics not treated with sizing agents or similar products; if they have been, you can also iron
at a lower temperature.
When you change the temperature by turning the thermostat knob (G), the indicator light (H) will light on and remain lit until
the iron has reached the new temperature.
filling the boiler during use
always check the level of water in the tank while you are ironing.
add enough water to the tank so that the water level is always visible. do not go past the maX level.
If the tank remains without water, you will notice a vibration and a louder noise. Switch off the appliance by turning the ON/
OFF switch (J) to (o). unplug it from the electric outlet.
Warning!
Always turn off the appliance and remove the power cable plug from the socket-outlet before filling the tank with
water.
Add water directly from the tap (Fig. 3). Put the tank back on the appliance, put the plug into the socket-outlet, and turn the
appliance back on.
If the appliance is not switched off promptly, overheating of the pump could cause a momentary stoppage of the appliance.
Therefore it is necessary to turn off the iron, fill the tank and wait about an hour for the appliance to cool down and resume
normal operation.

Dry IrOnInG

For dry ironing, i.e. without steam, after connecting the appliance to the mains, just switch on the appliance by turning the
ON/OFF switch (J) to ECO or MAX. Put the steam adjustment knob on minimum and turn the thermostat knob (G) to the
desired temperature. Do not press the steam button.
