BEFORE USING
X Remove all packaging from the appliance.
X Turn the steam control knob (9) into the “0”
position, and the temperature control knob (10)
– into the “Min” position.X If you intend to iron with spray or steam,
push the cover (4) up and fill the tank (5) with

5
suring jug (15) for convenience and ease.
Note: if your area has hard water, we recommend you use
filtered or bottled water.
Attention: always disconnect the iron from the electricity
mains supply prior to filling the tank (5). Do not
overfill the tank (see the “Max” mark on the tank
(5). Do not fill the tank (5) with other liquids.
X Prior to first use iron a clean old piece of cotton cloth to make
sure the sole plate and the water tank are absolutely clean
(see subsection “Steam ironing”).
Note: light smoke may emit during the first use of the
appliance: it is a normal occurrence that will soon
disappear.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Place the iron into a vertical position.
2. Insert the power plug (13) into the mains
supply outlet.
3. Turn the temperature control knob (10) to
set the temperature recommended by the manu
facturer of the textile article (usually indicated
on the article’s label).
Note: in case the manufacturer’s
recommendations are missing, select the temperature
setting, which corresponds to the type of the cloth to
be ironed (see section “Useful advice”).
4. The operation indicator (11) will light up to indicate that the
iron is being heated to the set temperature level. When the set
temperature level is reached, the light indicator (11) will turn
off.
Note: during operation of the appliance the light indicator
will light up and turn off periodically; this is normal
and not a malfunction.
Steam ironing
Dry ironing can be can be used at any temperature setting. To
do this the steam control knob (9) must be put into the “0” position. If you intend to use the steam function, allow the iron to heat
to the required temperature level then put the control knob (9)
into the required position.
Attention: application of the steam ironing function is
impossible at “ ”temperature setting. SI-4040 iron:
the “Drip Stop” system automatically terminates the
steam generation process if the selected temperature is
too low. When the system is activated, you may hear

a click.
To ease ironing of dense cotton, linen and upholstery articles
use the steam burst button (8): engagement of the button (8)
during the ironing process generates an extra burst of steam from
the sole plate to help remove stubborn creases.
Burst of steam in a vertical position
This function helps to freshen the appearance of curtains, jack-
ets, coats, etc. To use this function, take the following steps:
X Follow instructions in paragraph 1-4 of the section “Opera-
tion instructions”. While selecting the temperature setting,
put the temperature control knob (10) into the “Max” position.
X While holding the iron in a vertical position, aim its sole plate
towards the articles to be ironed and push the steam burst
button (8) to produce a directional strong burst of steam from
the sole plate. Push the button several times with 5-7 seconds
intervals until the article is fully refreshed. If during the process
your water tank (5) runs out of water, disconnect the appliance from the mains outlet, wait till it cools down, refill the tank
and plug the appliance back into the power supply and continue the process.

Using the water spray (7) will help when ironing details of the
article (cuffs, trimmings, plackets, etc) or clothes, which demand
“ ” (low temperature) ironing, when steam ironing is not possible.
Push the button several times to moisten the material.
ENGLISH

gently, then the iron will switch on again.
5. When you have finished cleaning or ironing, do not forget to
switch the iron off by putting the steam control knob (9) into
the “0” position, the temperature control knob (10) – into
the “Min” position and unplugging the appliance from the
mains supply outlet.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning of the sole plate
X Do not use any abrasive substances and
materials to clean the sole plate.
Cleaning of internal parts of the
appliance
SI-4040 iron is equipped with an anti-scale function which
protects it from an accumulation of scale: it does this with a built-in
permanent filter. Therefore the water hardness is reduced and
the useful service life of the iron is extended.
Warning: in areas with very hard water it is recommended
that you regularly remove scale from the appliance to
maintain it in good working order. Excess lime scale
may result in damage or malfunction of your product.
If in your area the water is soft and you have average amounts
of clothes to be ironed then we recommend you to de-scale every
6 months. If the water in your area is very hard or if you iron
frequently, then we recommend you de-scale once a month.
Your iron has a self-cleaning function, which allows you to
clean the internal parts of the appliance from scale or dust. To use
this function perform the following procedure:
1. Set the steam control knob (9) into the “0” position.
2. Fill the tank (5) with water to the “Max” level.
3. Place the iron in a vertical position and plug it into the mains
supply outlet.
4. Set the temperature control knob (10) into the “Max” position. The light indicator (11) will light up showing that the iron
is being heated to the desired temperature.
5. When the iron reaches the maximum temperature, the light
indicator (11) will go out.
6. Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.
7. Whilst holding the appliance horizontally over a sink, press the
self-clean knob «Self-Clean» (17). Hot steam will discharge
from the sole plate (12) removing the scale and dust.
8. When the water tank (5) is completely empty, release the selfclean knob «Self-Clean» (17).
9. Put the appliance into a vertical position and wait until the iron
cools down.
10. Wipe the soleplate (12) with a piece of a clean old cotton
cloth of any remaining dust and scale.
Storage
Before storing the iron, make sure it is disconnected from the
mains supply outlet and is completely cooled down. Set the temperature control knob into the “Min” position and the steam
control knob into the “0” position. Drain the remaining water from
the tank (5) by opening the cover (4) and holding the iron upside
down over the sink. Store the appliance in the upright standing
position.

USEFUL TIPS
Selection of temperature settings
X Before ironing, we recommend that you organize your clothes, into the types of material and
the recommended temperature settings.
X We recommend that you start ironing, using the
lower temperature settings first: the appliance gets
hot quicker than it cools down.
X When ironing articles made with combinations of fibers, start
with the temperature recommended for the most delicate material first (for example, to iron a cloth made of cotton and
polyester select the temperature recommended for ironing
polyester first).
X If the manufacturer’s label, which gives the recommended
temperature, is missing and the type of material is known,
follow the recommendations below.

which will not be seen and test iron it to select the appropriate
temperature, start with the minimum setting.

Ironing of selected fabrics
X Do not use the water spray button (7) while ironing silk ar-
ticles: drops of water leave spots on silk garments.
X Wool, velour, velvet and similar pile fabrics must be ironed on
the inside.
X To prevent shiny marks we recommend that you iron woolen
articles through a thin cotton cloth, set the steam control knob
into the maximum position.
