Anti-Drip System; Maintenance And Cleaning - UFESA XENON Manual De Instrucciones

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more
steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the
Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate
fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
WHEN YOU FINISH IRONING
- Set the temperature control (7) to the minimum position.
- Remove the main plug from the wall socket.
- Empty the water tank.
- Stand the iron on heel rest.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the steam iron ensure it is unplugged from the power supply and has completely
cooled down.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
To clean exterior surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as
these will damage the surface.
To clean the soleplate, do not use scouring pads or harsh cleaners on the soleplate as these will
damage the surface.
To remove burnt residue, iron over a damp cloth while iron is still hot. To clean the soleplate, simply
wipe with soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
SELF-CLEANING
It is recommended to do the self-cleaning at least every two weeks.
1. Fill the water tank.
2. Set the temperature control (7) to its maximum position.
3. Set the steam regulator (3) to the minimum position.
4. Insert the main plug into the wall socket.
5. Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light (10) goes out.
6. Unplug the steam iron (very important!)
7. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink
8. Press the clean button (8) and shake the iron until approximately one third of the water capacity of
the tank is evaporated. Warning: boiling water and steam will be ejected from the holes in soleplate
with impurities washed out.
9. Release the clean button, and gently shake the iron for some seconds.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 three times until the tank is empty.
11. Then plug the iron in and heat it up again until the remaining water has evaporated.
12. Push the clean button a few times more to clean the valve.
13. Unplug the iron and let the soleplate cool down.
14. Move the iron over an old (preferably) piece of cloth. This ensures that the soleplate will be dry
during storage.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the
above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
