dry ironing
33 Don’t try to dry iron by not squeezing the trigger – you’ll forget, and steam something that
doesn’t like to be steamed.
34 It might be a good idea to empty the atomiser as well, just in case.
35 Use the - button to set the level of steam to Q (no steam).
vertical steaming
36 This is simply steam ironing with the soleplate held vertically.
37 Use this function to remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, curtains, and
furnishing fabrics
38 Check that there’s adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise
moisture may build up, causing mildew.
39 Check there’s nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
40 Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.
41 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.
42 Check that the temperature control is at S or higher.
43 Wait till the ready light goes out.
44 Hold the iron about a centimetre away from the fabric.
45 Press the trigger to produce steam.
46 Again, don’t squeeze and hold the trigger for more than 3 minutes, or you may drip water.
holidays
47 If you’re going to leave the iron for more than a week, it’s best to empty the
reservoir, to avoid mould.
48 Leave the iron to cool down completely.
49 Remove the reservoir, flip open the cap, and empty it via the filling hole.
50 Wipe off any excess moisture, then replace the reservoir in the base unit with
the cap open, so it dries out.
care and maintenance
cleaning
1 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool down
fully before cleaning and storing away.
2 Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
3 Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar.
4 Take care not to scratch the soleplate.
5 Don’t put the appliance in water or any other liquid.
6 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, or descaling solutions.
self clean C
, Don’t use commercial descaler, vinegar, or anything else – you’ll damage the iron.
7 To prevent scale building up, use the self clean function regularly, at least monthly.
8 You’ll need a basin or a large bowl to catch the water coming out of the soleplate.
9 Sit the iron on the base unit, and switch it on.
10 Use the + button to set the level of steam to maximum.
11 Turn the temperature control to C.
12 Wait till the not ready symbol Z disappears from the display.
13 Now hold the iron over the basin or bowl, with the soleplate down.
14 Squeeze the trigger, and hold it for about 3 minutes.
15 Gently move the iron to and fro, over the basin or bowl.
caution keep clear of the escaping water and steam
16 Water and steam will wash scale and dust through the soleplate.
