User manual LERVIA KH 2203 STEAM AND DRY IRON

[. . . ] Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling it with water or emptying it and when the iron is not in use. Do not operate an iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to the customer service for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used. [. . . ] If you are unsure of the fibre content of a garment, test a small area (a seam or inside hem) before ironing. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase the heat to find the best setting for good results without damaging the fabric. As indicated on the temperature control knob, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures. With conventional steam irons, water may drip from the soleplate if an extremely low temperature has been selected. However, a new feature has been added to this iron ­ `DRIP STOP' steam shut-off. This means that the iron will automatically stop steaming at low temperatures. When this happens, you will hear a "CLICK". Ensure that the soleplate remains smooth and unscratched by ironing around on not over zippers, rivets or any other objects which may scratch the soleplate. The mineral content of water varies according to different geographical regions. If you live in a hard water area, to insure optimum performance of your iron, we strongly recommend the use of distilled water which is readily available in retail stores. Do not disassemble or repair your iron yourself. After each use, remove the plug and let the iron cool down. wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. You may need to press this button a few times after filling the iron with water to activate the pump. The burst steam facility can be used only when ironing at temperature of at least 150° C, this means form II to III/MAX. Check that the steam control gear is in the dry position (position 0) when filling the water tank. Pull back the water tank lid and fill the tank to the "MAX" line. The iron can be used as a dry iron, even if there is water in the water tank. Do not put water in the water tank when the iron is to be used as a dry iron for MANY HOURS. Put the iron on the heel rest and then plug the iron into the mains. When the heating light goes out, it indicates that the iron has reached the required temperature. Make it a habit to empty the iron after each use. [. . . ] Fill the water up to "MAX" line in water tank. Allow the iron to heat up until the heating light goes out and then lights again. Set the steam control gear to calc clean position (0) then press and hold the calc clean button. Move the iron backwards and forwards while draining the water. [. . . ]
