Setting the temperature
1RI4444, RI4440 only: Remove the heat-resistant protective cover (Fig. 5).
Do not leave the heat-resistant protective cover on the soleplate during ironing.
2Put the iron on its heel.
3To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate position (Fig. 6).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
-1for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
-1for silk
-2for wool
-3for cotton
-MAX for linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.To prevent stains, do not use the spray function.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.
4Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
,The amber temperature light goes on.
5When the amber temperature light has gone out, wait a while before you start ironing.
The temperature light goes on from time to time during ironing.
Using the appliance
Note:The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time.This stops after a short while.
Steam ironing
1Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the temperature).
3Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that the steam setting you select is suitable for the set ironing temperature: (Fig. 7)
-1 - 3 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2 to 3)
-4 - 6 for strong steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)
Note:The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it reaches the set temperature.
Note:If the set ironing temperature is too low (MIN to 2),water may drip from the soleplate (see chapter ‘Features,section‘Drip stop’).
Ironing with Ionic DeepSteam (RI4444, RI4440, RI4430 only)
When you use the Ionic DeepSteam function during steam ironing, the steam produced is finer than during regular steam ironing. Fine steam reaches deeper,
especially into thick fabrics.This helps you to remove stubborn creases easily.
1Follow steps 1 to 3 in section ‘Steam ironing’.
2Press and hold the Ionic DeepSteam button (Fig.8).
,The Ionic DeepSteam light goes on and you hear a humming sound. (Fig. 9)
3The iron now produces Ionic DeepSteam to help you remove even the toughest creases.
Note:The Ionic DeepSteam function is only effective when it is used in combination with a steam setting and a temperature setting between 2and MAX.
Note:Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function when you iron without steam and/or at low temperature settings. However,ironing at low temperatures without steam with the Ionic DeepSteam function switched on will not damage the iron.
Note:The Ionic DeepSteam output may vary from time to time,depending on the ironing temperature.
Ironing without steam
1Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam) (Fig. 2).
Do not use the Ionic DeepSteam function,as this function has no effect when you iron without steam.
2Set the required ironing temperature (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section‘Setting the temperature’).
After ironing
1Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
2If you have been steam ironing, empty the water tank.
3Let the iron cool down in a safe place.
Features Spray function
You can use the spray function at any temperature to moisten the article to be ironed.This helps remove stubborn creases.
1Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2Press the spray button several times to moisten the article to be ironed (Fig. 10).
Steam boost function
A steam boost from the special Steam Tip soleplate helps remove stubborn creases.The steam boost enhances the distribution of steam into every part of your garment.
The steam boost function can only be used at temperature settings between 3and MAX.
1Press and release the steam boost button (Fig.11).
Vertical steam boost
1You can also use the steam boost function when you hold the iron in vertical position. (Fig. 12)
This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.
Never direct the steam at people.
Drip stop
This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically stops producing steam when the temperature is too low, to prevent water from dripping
out of the soleplate.When this happens, you may hear a sound.
Automatic shut-off function (RI4444, RI4440, RI4430, RI4425, RI4422, RI4420, RI4412 only)
The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been moved for a while.
,The redAUTO/OFF indication of the temperature light flashes to indicate that the iron has been switched off by the automatic shut-off function.
To let the iron heat up again:
1Pick up the iron or move it slightly.
,The red AUTO/OFF indication goes out.
2/7
,If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped below the set ironing temperature, the amber temperature light goes on.
2If the amber temperature light goes on after you have moved the iron, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.
Note:If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the iron,the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.
Delicate fabric protector (RI4425, RI4415 only)
The delicate fabric protector protects delicate fabrics from heat damage and shiny patches.
With the delicate fabric protector you can iron delicate fabrics (silk, wool and nylon) at temperature settings
3to MAX in combination with all steam functions available on the iron.
The delicate fabric protector reduces the soleplate temperature instantly, thus allowing you to iron delicate fabrics safely.
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use the article.
1Put the iron on the delicate fabric protector (‘click’) (Fig. 13).
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning
1Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad,vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
2Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
3Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it.
Double-Active Calc System
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the water tank combined with the CalcClean function.
1The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
2The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
Using the Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2Set the steam control to position 0.
3Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
4Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 14).
5Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
6Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
7Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the
Calc-Clean button and gently shake the iron to and fro (Fig. 15).
,Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed out.
8Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up.
Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the Calc-Clean process
1Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.
2Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
3Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
4Let the iron cool down before you store it.
Storage
1Set the steam control to position 0 and unplug the iron.
2Empty the water tank (Fig. 16).
3Let the iron cool down in a safe place.
