Anti-Drip System - UFESA PV36 Serie Instrucciones De Uso

5. Gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come
out of the soleplate carrying scale or deposits that might be
there. When the iron stops dripping, reassemble the steam
regulator by reinserting it, lining up the position with the
pointer, pressing it in and turning it to the "0" position.
6. Heat up the iron again until the remaining water has evaporated.
7. If the steam regulator needle is soiled, remove any deposits
from the tip with vinegar and rinse it off with clean water.
3. anti-calc
The "anti-calc" cartridge has been designed to reduce the
build-up of scale produced during steam ironing, helping
to extend the useful life of your iron. Nevertheless the "anti-
calc" cartridge cannot remove all of the scale that is produced
naturally over time.
"SECURE" AUTO SHUT-OFF FUNCTION
(Model dependent)
The "secure" auto shut-off function switches off the iron when
it is left unattended, thus increasing security and saving energy.
After plugging in the appliance, this function will be inactive
for the first two minutes in order to give the appliance time to
reach the set temperature.
Alter such time, if the iron is not moved for 8 minutes while
in the upright position or 30 seconds while resting on its
soleplate or on its side, then the safety circuit will switch the
appliance off automatically and the pilot light will start flashing.
To reconnect the iron, just move it about gently.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

(Model dependent)
If the temperature is set too low, the steam is automatically
switched off to avoid dripping.
FABRIC-PROTECTION SOLEPLATE COVER
(Model dependent)
The fabric-protection is used for steam-ironing delicate
garments at maximum temperature without damaging them.
Use of the protector also does away with the need for a cloth
to prevent shine on dark materials.
It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the
garment to see if it is suitable.
To attach the fabric protector to the iron, place the tip of the
iron into the end of the fabric protector and press the rear
of the protector upward until you hear a click. To release the
fabric protector, pull down on the clip at the rear and remove
the iron.
The fabric-protection soleplate cover may be purchased from
the customer service.

METAL IRONING TIP
(Model dependent)
The metal tip helps to improve the ironing of collars and
pockets.
STORING
Turn the steam regulator to position "0".
Empty the water tank.
Store the iron in upright position.
CLEANING
lf the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the plug and allow the
soleplate to cool down. Wipe the housing and the soleplate
with a damp cloth only.
(8)
lf synthetic cloth melts due to too high temperature on
the soleplate, switch off the steam and rub off the residue
immediately with a thickly folded, dry cotton cloth.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact
with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, or chemicals to
clean the soleplate.
Never decalcify the tank or treat it with detergents or solvents:
otherwise the iron will drip water whilst steaming!
TIPS TO HELP YOU SAVE ENERGY
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help
minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing
(9)
temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature in the label
on the garment.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing
temperature, following the instructions in this manual.
(10)
• Only use steam if necessary. If possible, use the spray
function instead.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce
the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the
fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry your fabrics
before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the 'iron dry'
programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator
completely.
• Stand the iron upright during pauses. Resting it horizontally
with the steam regulator on generates wasted steam.
