This document describes the Elgento 2600W Steam Iron, model E22001, providing essential information for its safe and effective use, maintenance, and warranty.
The Elgento 2600W Steam Iron is designed for domestic use to remove creases from various fabrics. It features both dry ironing and steam ironing capabilities, including a steam jet function for stubborn creases and a burst of steam button. The iron is equipped with a temperature control dial to adjust the heat setting according to fabric type, a power light to indicate heating status, and a water reservoir for steam generation. A self-clean function is also integrated to help maintain the iron's performance.
Before first use, users should carefully unpack the appliance and ensure all parts are present. The iron is then ready for normal use.
For dry ironing, the steam control should be set to the 'O' position. The temperature control dial allows users to select the appropriate heat setting for the fabric being ironed.
For steam ironing, the water tank must be filled. Before filling or emptying, the iron should be unplugged from the wall socket, and the steam control set to 'O' to prevent water leakage. Water should be poured into the water tank up to the maximum level while holding the iron in a tilted position. Normal tap water can be used, but distilled water is recommended for very hard water areas. It is crucial not to add vinegar, starch, chemically de-scaled water, or de-scaling agents to the water reservoir. Once filled, the iron can be plugged in, and the temperature control set to the desired ironing temperature. The power light will indicate when the soleplate is heating up and will turn off when the desired temperature is reached. If the light comes on again after moving the iron, users should wait for it to go out before continuing to iron.
The steam jet function is activated by pressing the steam jet button once. For optimal results, users should wait a few seconds before pressing the button again. This function provides an extra burst of steam to tackle stubborn creases. The steam control knob can also be used to adjust the steam output, with settings ranging from minimum to maximum steam.
The iron should always be turned to "min" before plugging or unplugging from the mains outlet. Users should grasp the plug, not the cord, to disconnect from the mains. It is important to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water, emptying it, or when not in use. The iron should never be left unattended when connected to the mains or on an ironing board. Caution is advised when handling the iron, as hot metal parts, hot water, or steam can cause burns. When turning a steam iron upside down, there may be hot water in the reservoir.
The manual provides specific ironing instructions based on fabric type, indicating recommended heat settings and whether to use steam or spray. For natural fibres like cotton and linen, high heat and dampness are recommended, with steam and spray as needed. Wool and silk should be ironed on medium heat, often with a pressing cloth or on the wrong side of the fabric. Synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon, acetate, and acrylic require low to medium heat, and dry ironing without steam is often advised, with spray used if necessary.
After ironing, the power supply should be disconnected, and any remaining water in the tank should be emptied. To dry the soleplate, reconnect the power supply, wait for the indicator light to go off, and then disconnect again. Once the iron has completely cooled down, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner to remove flakes and other deposits. The upper part of the iron can also be cleaned with a damp cloth. The emptied iron should always be stored horizontally on a stable surface, preferably with a cloth protecting the soleplate, in a safe, dry place, out of reach of children.
The iron includes a self-clean function, which is activated by turning the steam control dial to the solid dot. This feature helps to maintain the iron's performance by cleaning internal components.
For safety, the appliance must be earthed. The wiring instructions for UK use detail how to correctly connect the mains plug, emphasizing the importance of matching wire colours (Blue neutral [N], Brown live [L], Green/Yellow [EARTH]) to the correct terminals. The plug must be fitted with an ASTA approved fuse of the same rating (conforming to BS 1362). For non-rewireable mains plugs, if the fuse needs replacing, an ASTA approved fuse of the same rating must be used. If the plug needs to be removed, it should be disconnected from the mains, cut off, and disposed of safely to prevent electric shock.
The manual also outlines general product safety precautions, such as ensuring the voltage matches the appliance rating, using the iron on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and never immersing cords, plugs, or any part of the appliance in water. Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children or pets. The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above and persons with reduced capabilities if they have been given proper supervision and instruction. Children should not play with the appliance, and cleaning and user maintenance should not be undertaken by children without supervision.
In case of damage to the supply cord or appliance, use should cease immediately, and advice sought from the manufacturer or a qualified person. The cord should not hang over edges or come into contact with hot surfaces. Only supplied accessory attachments should be used. The plug should not be pulled out by the cord. The product is intended for household use only and should not be carried by the power cord, used with extension cords, or used outdoors. Steam should never be directed towards persons, pets, or electrical systems. The steam holes should not be obstructed, and the iron should not be placed on an unprotected surface. In the unlikely event of a fault, usage should stop immediately, and the Customer Support Team should be contacted.
The document also includes information on the disposal of the unit, advising that appliances bearing the WEEE symbol should not be disposed of with domestic rubbish but should be recycled separately. Users are directed to relevant websites for information on recycling electrical items in the UK and Ireland.
