VERTICAL IRONING
To "liven up" the clothes hung on cloth hangers, curtains, etc. you can use the
iron vertically:
• Set the temperature control knob (12) to the max position.
• Hold the iron in a vertical position at a distance of about 15-20 cm from the fabric.
• Press the super-steam button (4) several times.
NOTE
• Do not press the super-steam button too many times consecutively. Observe pauses
of some seconds between one operation and the following one.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use this function on fabrics made up of synthetic fibres.
• Keep an adequate distance between the fabric and the iron soleplate in order to avoid
burns.
• Use this function only on clothes hung on clothes hangers. Do not try to iron
clothes if they are worn by a person: the steam is very hot, you could cause
serious burn injuries.
SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM
The iron is supplied with a self-cleaning system which allows limestone deposits
to be reduced. To obtain full benefit from this system, carry out this operation
regularly at least once a month.
Do as follows:
• Set the dry ironing function.
• Fill the tank up to the MAX level (13).
• Let the iron run and bring the soleplate to the maximum temperature.
• When the iron is ready, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
• Set the steam control dial (4) to the symbol of the self-cleaning function, shake the iron
in a horizontal position over a sink or a basin until the tank is empty. The water and
steam mixture will eliminate a part of the limestone residues that are present in the
soleplate.
• Then set dial (4) again to the "0" position.
• Connect the plug to the power outlet and move the iron over an old cloth to remove all
the water remaining in the soleplate.
WARNING!
Do not come into contact with the water coming out of the soleplate, since it is
very hot and could cause burns.
NOTE: Before using the iron again, pass the cold soleplate on a dry cotton cloth.
