Dry Ironing - Tristar ST-8141 Manual De Instrucciones

The quantity of steam is regulated by the steam selector (3).
- Move the steam selector to a position between minimum and maximum
depending on the quantity of steam required and the temperature selected
[Fig. 1].
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron
horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical
position or by moving the steam selector to "0". As indicated on the thermostat
knob (10) and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest
temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip onto the
plate.
Selecting Shot-steam and steam when ironing vertically.
Press the shot-steam button (5) to generate a powerful burst of steam that can
penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a
few seconds before pressing again [Fig. 4].
By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically
(curtains, hung garments, etc.) [Fig. 5].
Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop
the emission when the plate temperature control light (6) comes on, than start
ironing again only after the light has gone off.

DRY IRONING

To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section "steam ironing", leaving
the steam selector (3) on position "0".
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button (4) slowly
(for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray) [Fig. 6].
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand
using the spray function (4), or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the
fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please note: before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the
appliance plug is not connected to the socket.
Any deposits, starch residue or size left on the plate can be removed using a
damp cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry
cloth.
HOW TO PUT IT AWAY
- At the end of the using ,regulate the steam dial to "0"point.
- When there is no steam ,regulate the temperature dialto "0"point. Disconnect
the plug of the iron from the socket.
- Empty the reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Leave the iron vertically to cool down completely.
- Roll up the power cord with the rewinder [Fig. 7].
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual
finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the
temperature of the fibre requiring the lower temperature.
If you don't know the composition of the fabric, determine the suitable
temperature by testing on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low
temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate
fixes the stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
The size is more effective if you use a dry iron at a moderate temperature:
excess heat scorches it with the risk of forming a yellow mark.
To avoid marking silk, woolen or synthetic garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid marking velvet garments shiny, iron in one direction (following the fibre)
and do not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more garments come out
creased. This also happens when the spin drying revolutions are very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely dry.
