This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric. AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in the upright position or unused for approx. Thirty seconds in the horizontal position. The light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the device turns off and the iron starts working again. STEAM IRONING Filling the reservoir -Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket. -Move the steam selector (3) to “0” [Fig. 1]. -Open the lid (2). -Raise the tip of the iron to help the water enter the opening without overflowing. -Slowly pour the water into the reservoir using the special measure (14) and taking care not to go over the maximum level (about 300ml) indicated by “MAX” on the reservoir [Fig. 2]. -Close the lid (2). Selecting the temperature. -Put the iron in a vertical position. -Put the plug in the socket. -Adjust the thermostat knob (11) according to the international symbol on the garment label [Fig. 3]. The plate temperature control light (9) indicates that the iron is heating up. Wait until the plate temperature control light goes off before ironing. Warning: during ironing, the plate temperature control light (9) comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the plate tempera ture control light comes on again. Selecting the steam. The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3). -Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected [Fig. 1]. Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to “0”. As indicated on the thermostat knob (11) and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate. Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically. Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again [Fig. 4]. DRY IRONING To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section “steam ironing”, leaving the steam selector (3) on position “0”. CLEANING Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not connected to the socket. Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent. Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects. The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth. Cord retractor • The product is equipped with a retractable cord. Press the cord rewind button to engage cord storage. If the cord does not fully retract, pull it out again and then press on the cord rewind button. [Fig. 7] HOW TO PUT IT AWAY -At the end of the using ,regulate the steam dial to “0”point. -When there is no steam ,regulate the temperature dialto “Min”point. Disconnect the plug of the iron from the socket. -Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it. - Leave the iron vertically to cool down completely. -Roll up the power cord with the rewinder -Always put the iron away in a vertical position. ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.). If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the temperature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature. If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature. Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable. The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature: excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark. To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out. To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre) and do not press down on the iron. The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out creased. This also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high. Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
