Water advice
Suitable for tap water use. However if the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with an equal portion of distilled water or to use distilled water only.
Cleaning of the Iron
Use only the Calc clean button for cleaning of the Iron. Never use vinegar or other descaling agents.
Soleplate
Careeza is a multi layer chemical substance that gives an excellent gliding over various fabrics and better care for the garments.
Auto shut-off (ASO)
A relay in the electronic module interrupts the power to the heating element when the iron has been motionless.
-for 30 secs in the horizontal position.
-for 8 minutes in the vertical position. The red “Auto-off” pilot light starts blinking.
When the iron is moved again, it is automatically switched ‘ON’ again.
Vertical Steam
When the iron is kept in a vertical position, the shot of steam (S.O.S) button can be used to iron hanging fabrics such as curtains.
Anti drip
Water is only released to through the tank valve into the steam chamber if the soleplate temperature is high enough to evaporate all water. If the temperature is too low, the tank valve is closed by means of a bi-metal disc.
Protective storage cover
The cover protects the soleplate from accidental damage.
Caution : Do not use the cover while the iron is heating up or with the plug in the mains.
