Cleaning And Maintenance - ECG NZ 212 Manual De Instrucciones

The plate temperature indicator occasionally lights up when ironing, indicating the temperature setting
is maintained. After fi nishing your ironing at a high temperature and reducing the temperature, do not
continue using the iron until the soleplate temperature indicator lights up again.
Note: Since the cooling process takes longer than the heating process, ironing fabrics requiring lower
temperatures fi rst is recommended. This way you eliminate the risk of burning the fabric.
IRONING AND THE STEAM FUNCTION
Ironing without steam
For steamless ironing, set the steam control to "0" and set the temperature according to the type of fabric.
Ironing with steam
Steam ironing requires setting the temperature to position •••. Use the steam control to set the amount of
steam to be used (fi g. 5).
Note: Water can drip from steam channels at lower temperatures, during which steam action does not take
place, resulting in stains on ironed fabric.
Ironing with the steam burst
Press the spray button (fi g. 4) to iron hard to remove creases with a strong steam spray slowly (heavy spraying)
or quickly (fi ne spraying).
For fi ne fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric or to inserting a damp cloth between the fabric and
iron before using the spray function. Prevent stains from appearing by not using the spray function on silk
or synthetic material.
Vertical steam burst
Hold the iron in an upright position and hold the spray button down to iron and straighten creased drapes,
curtains, clothes etc. (fi g. 6). Wait a few seconds before pressing again. The spray function is only available at
high temperatures. Stop using the spray function as soon as the soleplate temperature indicator lights up.
Continue ironing only after the indicator light goes out.
Attention: Never direct the steam at persons or animals.
Automatic steam emission function
Turn the steam control to the ON position to confi gure automatic steam output corresponding to the
soleplate temperature.
Sprinkling
Press the sprinkling button to dampen hard to remove creases (fi g. 2).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical output prior to performing any maintenance. Cleaning shall
always be performed on a cooled appliance!
Remove any sediments, starch residue or softener using a moist (or wet) dish towel or a fi ne liquid cleaning
agent and dry with soft dry fabric. Using wire wool or metal objects can scratch the soleplate. Never clean the
iron under running water, do not rinse or immerse the iron into water!
Always make sure the steam iron is completely cooled, clean and dry before putting it away. Store the iron
in an upright position.
After you have fi nished using the iron, open the nozzle lid, pour out the remaining water, set the steam
control to minimum and the temperature control to minimum.
