This document provides an instruction manual for the Electrolux Essential Iron 1700 W, model LX1700. It covers important safety instructions, main components, usage, cleaning, storage, technical information, and warranty details. The iron is designed for household use and emphasizes sustainability in its design and components.
The Electrolux Essential Iron 1700 W is a garment care tool designed for ironing clothes and fabrics. Its primary function is to remove wrinkles and smooth out garments using heat and steam. The iron features a ceramic soleplate for efficient heat distribution and includes various settings to accommodate different fabric types. It can be used for both dry ironing and steam ironing, with a dedicated steam burst function and a water spray feature for stubborn wrinkles. The iron also incorporates an auto shut-off feature for safety and energy saving.
The design philosophy behind this iron focuses on achieving top performance with the lowest energy demand. It is engineered to generate more steam with less electricity, which translates to shorter ironing times, smoother clothing in fewer passes, and a longer-lasting press. This approach aims to rejuvenate clothing and reduce energy consumption and garment waste.
Before initial use, all labels and protective films should be removed. It is recommended to heat the iron and use it on a damp piece of cloth for a few minutes to burn off any manufacturing residue from the ceramic soleplate, preventing transfer to clothes. A slight odor and some steam may be noticed during the first use, which is normal and will quickly disappear.
For steam ironing, the steam knob should be turned to the appropriate setting, and the water tank filled with distilled water, ensuring not to exceed the MAX line and keeping the iron erect during filling. After plugging in, the temperature regulator should be adjusted according to the fabric type. Once the indicator lights turn off, indicating the desired temperature has been reached, the steam knob can be pushed to begin ironing. It is important to monitor the water level in the tank and refill it when almost empty, unplugging the iron before doing so. After ironing, the iron should be unplugged, the steam knob set to the "off" position, the water tank emptied, and the iron placed upright. To evaporate any remaining water, the iron should be plugged in again and powered on for 5 minutes before being stored properly.
The iron offers a steam jet function, which requires turning off the steam knob first and setting the temperature regulator to the MAX position to prevent water leakage. After the indicator light goes off, the steam jet button can be pressed once every second for a steam release.
The water spray function is used to wet clothes, particularly thick cotton or hemp fabrics, to aid in wrinkle removal. This feature requires ensuring the water tank has sufficient water and then pushing the water spray button multiple times.
The iron has an auto shut-off feature for safety. A red light indicates the iron is heating, and it turns off once the iron reaches the set temperature. If left in a horizontal position, the iron will power off automatically after 30 seconds. In a vertical position, it will power off after 8 minutes.
For ironing heat-reactive fabrics, it is advised to place a layer of cloth onto the garment to prevent damage. Garments should be sorted by suitable ironing temperatures, starting with lower temperature clothing first and adjusting the temperature regulator as needed. The temperature settings are categorized for Synthetics/silk (low temperature), Wool (medium temperature), and Cotton/linen (high temperature).
The iron also supports vertical steaming for garments and fabrics. If using a textile brush attachment, it should be carefully slid over the tip of the iron before turning on. Once plugged in, the iron should be set to a high temperature (Cotton or Max settings). After the blinking light turns off, the iron can be held vertically, tilted slightly forward. Pressing the steam trigger and moving the iron up and down the garment will release steam. If steam output declines, tilting the iron forward into a horizontal position and then back to vertical can help restore it. It is crucial not to tilt the iron upside down while using it vertically.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Electrolux Essential Iron.
Cleaning: Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is unplugged and the soleplate is completely cool. Rough or corrosive chemicals should not be used to wipe the soleplate. Any residue or specks can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with vinegar and water. A needle or toothpick can be used to clean the steam holes on the soleplate. It is important to avoid scratching the soleplate with hard objects.
Storage: After each use, the iron should be allowed to cool completely, unplugged, and the water tank emptied. The ceramic plate and cover plate should be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove any residues. The iron should be stored vertically on a clean, dry, flat surface, with the cable wrapped around it using the Velcro. The steam knob should be kept in the OFF position. The cardboard in which the iron was packaged should not be discarded, as it helps prevent corrosion. A heat-resistant mat is included to allow for storing the iron even while it is still warm.
Nursing, Cleaning, and Storage (General Guidelines): Do not use rough or corrosive detergents or solvents. The steam scalding machine should not be immersed in water or other liquids. Avoid dropping, throwing, or attempting to bend the iron. Do not attempt to disassemble the decomposition products. The water tank should be emptied after each use. Avoid storing products in damp places, near heat sources, or in direct sunlight. Always ensure that the steam outlet hole is clean, scale-free, and not blocked. It is recommended to store the ironing machine in a flat position, such as in a drawer.
