Do not use descaling agents (unless they have been advised
by UFESA), they can damage the appliance.
Never use abrasive products to clean the soleplate or any
other part of the appliance.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact
with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, or chemicals to
clean the soleplate.
BEFORE USING THE IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME
With the iron unplugged, fill in the tank of the iron with tap
water and set the temperature dial to "max"
Plug in the appliance to the mains. When the steam iron has
reached the desired temperature (pilot light switches off),
start steaming by setting the steam regulator to "2" and by
repeatedly pressing the button .
When using the steam function for the first time, do not apply
it on the laundry, as there could still be dirt in the steam
dispenser.
Your new iron may smell and give off some smoke when you
use it for the first time, this is normal and will cease after a
short while.
HOW TO USE THE IRON
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing
temperature. If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric
an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature
by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use
the article.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing
temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.
Silk, woollen or synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the
fabric to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function
to prevent stains.
• Synthetics
•• Silk – Wool
••• Cotton – Linen
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Set the steam regulator to the "0"position and unplug
the iron from the mains!
Use only clean water from the tap without mixing anything with
it. The addition of other liquids, such as perfume, will damage
the appliance.
Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned
products, will make the guarantee void.
Do not use condensation water from tumble dryers, air
conditionings or similar. This appliance has been designed to
use normal tap water.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with
distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard,
mix tap water with distilled water 1:2.
To prevent spillage of water out of the appliance in
vertical position, never fill beyond the "max" water level
mark!
GETTING READY
