Electronic safety shut-off function (HI575 only)
The electronic safety shut-off function automatically switches the iron
off if it has not been moved for a while.
C
To indicate that the heating element has been switched off, the
auto-off light will start blinking and you will hear an audible signal.
- In horizontal position, this will happen after 30 seconds.
- In vertical position, this will happen after 8 minutes.
To let the iron heat up again:
- Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
- The auto-off light goes out and the audible signal stops.
- Put the iron back on its stand. The iron will heat up again.
- When the temperature light has gone on and goes out again, the
iron is ready for use.
Drip stop
This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function to prevent water
dripping out of the soleplate: the iron automatically stops producing
steam when the temperature is too low. When this happens you may
hear a click.
Cleaning and maintenance
After ironing
1
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron
cool down.
2
Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a
damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with
metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to
clean the soleplate.
3
Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4
Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water
tank after cleaning.
Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks to remove scale
and impurities from the soleplate. If the water in your area is very hard
(i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), you should
use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
