[. . . ] - In order to avoid water dripping from the iron onto the linen: · Turn off the steam when ironing silk or synthetic fabrics. What temperature and which steam setting to use ?Your iron heats up quickly : so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature, · If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again, · When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre. When setting the thermostat control on this position (G) steam flow is concentrated at the tip of the soleplate (H) for a better penetration of the steam within the thickest fabrics, like Jeans (Denim). [. . . ] Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (N). This system will help to provide: a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam, lasting performance from your appliance. - The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop 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 (O). - To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing. Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off. 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. - You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out. Unplug your iron and let it cool down before cleaning it. CLEANING THE ANTI-CALC VALVE (Once a month) : - Unplug your iron and empty the water tank. - To remove the anti-calc valve, pull it up using the tabs located on each side (P). - Never leave your iron unattended when it is plugged in or while the soleplate is still hot. - Always keep your iron out of the reach of children. - Be careful of hot steam especially when ironing close to the edge of the ironing board. Your iron must be placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
