3-way automatic shut-off (depending on model)
- The electronic system cuts off the electrical power and the Auto-Off warning light flashes if
the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal
position for more than 30 seconds.
- To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
Note : when the Auto-off warning light is on,
it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because of the anti-drip technology which prevents
droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.
When using the iron for the first time, allow 2 minutes for steam to be produced.
2- DRY IRONING
- Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
- Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).
- You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

• SELF-CLEANING :
In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a month.
- Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on its heel with the thermostat set to max and heat it up.
- When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position, over a sink.
- Remove the anti-scale valve.
- Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through
the soleplate.
- At the end of the operation, push the anti-scale valve back into position.
- Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Recommendations :
the self-cleaning function helps to slow down the scaling up of your iron.
• CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE :
- While the soleplate is still lukewarm, clean it by rubbing it with a moist, non-metallic pad.
BE CAREFUL ! Unplug your iron and let it cool down before cleaning it.
NEVER TOUCH THE END OF THE VALVE.
- Soak the valve in a cup of white vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours (N).
- Rinse the valve under running water.
- Replace the anti-scale valve.
THE IRON WILL NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE ANTI-SCALE VALVE.
