●
Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
●
The steam output can be continuously
adjusted with the steam control button or
completely switched off for dry ironing.
●
For dry ironing, the water reservoir may
be empty. Should there be water left in
the reservoir, the steam jet function may
also be used when dry-ironing at higher
temperature settings.
●
Place the steam iron upright on its base
stand after use and remove the plug from
the wall socket.
Steam Jet
When the steam jet button is depressed, an
additional hot steam jet is emitted from the
soleplate. This function can be very useful
when the regular amount of steam emitted is
not sufficient to remove stubborn creases or
when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to remove
creases or wrinkles from fabrics.
Using the Spray Nozzle
The laundry can be dampened by pressing
the spray button. This will help to smooth
out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be
used at any temperature level during dry or
steam ironing.
General Care and Cleaning
●
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
- If necessary, the unit may be wiped with
a dry fuzz-free cloth.
- Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
- In order to protect the clean soleplate,
you may occasionally apply a small
amount of paraffin to the warm plate,
wiping it off with a woollen cloth.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
●
Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
●
The soleplate should be cleaned as
follows after a long period of rest and
once a month:
- Fill half the water reservoir with water
and place it on its base stand.
- Leave the iron to heat on the highest
temperature setting until the indicator
lamp goes out.
- Unplug the unit, open the steam control
button to its full and swing the iron
horizontally over a sink. During this
procedure, the steam jet button should
be repeatedly depressed.
- Hot water and steam will be emitted by
the holes in the soleplate. This will result
in the removal of dust particles from the
soleplate.
- Pour out any remaining water, let the
iron heat up again and pass the soleplate
over an old, clean cotton cloth.
Storage
●
Turn off the steam iron, remove the plug
from the wall socket and let the unit cool
down completely.
- Pour any remaining water out of the
reservoir through the water fill hole.
●
To avoid damage to the soleplate, store
the steam iron in upright position on its
base stand.
