Steam Ironing; Cleaning And Maintenance - Fagor PLV-125 Manuel D'utilisation

7. STEAM IRONING

Before ironing with steam, check that the
fabric is suitable for this type of ironing. The
appliance works with normal water.
1. Place the unplugged iron on a stable,
heat-resistant surface.
2. Fill the tank with water (refer to section
6, "Filling the Tank").
3. Position the temperature control (8) in
the MIN position (Fig. B).
4. Stand the iron in the upright position,
resting it on its stand (10).
5. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature
selector to the "MAX" position. If the
selected temperature is too low, water
may drip from the soleplate.
The LED indicator (9) will light up. When
the LED indicator switches off, the iron
has reached the selected temperature.
This LED indicator (9) will light up and
switch off at regular intervals during
ironing. If you lower the temperature,
the LED indicator (9) will remain off
until the soleplate has come down to
the selected temperature and, at that
moment, it will light up again.
6. Turn the steam regulator (4) to the steam
ironing position (fig E). Place the iron in
the horizontal position and steam will
start to come out through the openings.
In the event that the iron does not give
out steam, gently knock the soleplate
against the ironing surface. Whenever
you stand the iron in the upright
position, resting it on its stand, steam
will stop coming out.
Warning! Avoid contact with the steam
and do not direct it at people
When you have finished, turn the
temperature selector to the MIN position
(Fig. B) move the steam regulator to the
dry ironing position (Fig. C), unplug the
iron and empty the tank as shown in Fig. F.
The tank must be emptied after each use.
Leave the iron in the upright position
until it cools down.
Note: If during ironing you need to refill the
tank, unplug the iron to fill it with water.
8. SPRAYER (Fig. G)
To use this function, there must be water in
the tank. Press the spray button (5) (Fig. G)
to spray water for dampening dry or diffi-
cult-to-iron fabrics such as linen, cotton or
wool, or to act on stubborn creases. It can
also be useful for dampening creases left
in the garment during ironing. Water sprays
out through the spray nozzle (2).

9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the iron and wait until it cools down
before starting to clean it.
Clean the iron's outside and soleplate with
a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or
abrasive products for cleaning.
The surface of the soleplate (13) must
always be clean. To clean it, simply wipe the
surface when it is cold with a damp cloth.
To prevent the soleplate from getting scra-
tched, you should avoid ironing zips, metal
buttons, etc. You should also not place the
iron on metal or rough surfaces.
After each use, empty the water tank (12)
(Fig. F) and let the iron cool down before
putting it away.
Do not submerge the iron in water or
place it under a running tap.
Self-cleaning
With a view to preventing the build-up of
harmful minerals which could block up the
iron and also to ensure it heats up and va-
porizes properly, you are advised to use this
function at least once a month, depending
on the hardness of the water and how much
the iron is used.
1. Fill the water tank (12) up to the half-
way point (Fig. D)
2. Place the iron on the soleplate (13).
3. Plug the iron in and turn the temperature
selector (8) to the "MAX" position. Wait until
the LED indicator (9) switches off then on
two or three times to make sure that the
established temperature has been reached.
4. Position the steam control (8) in the
steam position (Fig. E). Unplug the iron.
