Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using
the spray function (11), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid
staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug
is not connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth
or an unabrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
SELF-CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend
using it every 10-15days. Directions:
- Fill the reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector (9) to "0"
- Set the thermostat knob (2) to the maximum temperature and wait for the STANDBY
symbol to turn off.
- Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
- Hold the cleanout button (10) setting until all the boiling water, steam, impurities come
out.
- When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
HOW TO PUT IT AWAY
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder.
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes
(sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the tem-
perature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don't know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by
testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it
gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the
stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat
scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do
not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This
also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
Meaning of crossed - out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collec-
tion facilities.
Contact you local government for information regarding the collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances
can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health
and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to
take back your old appliance for disposals at least free of charge.
