- Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by Conair.
- Always position the iron carefully to prevent it from falling if the ironing board is accidentally moved or the cord is pulled. Always rest the appliance upright on its heel rest, on a stable surface, when not in use.
- Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
- DO NOT let children or untrained persons use the appliance without supervision.
- NEVER immerse the iron, cable, or plug in any liquids.
- DO NOT leave the hot iron touching fabrics or very inflammable surfaces.
- DO NOT leave the appliance unnecessarily plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the outlet when the appliance is not being used. NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands.
- DO NOT use the power cord or the appliance in order to pull the plug out of the socket.
- DO NOT leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc.).
- DO NOT leave the iron without supervision when it is connected to the power supply.
- DO NOT fill the reservoir with water before removing the plug from the socket.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances, or decalcifiers. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of warranty. Read the following instructions carefully before you use your iron for the first time. Once you have familiarized yourself with this appliance, please save this instruction manual for future reference.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING FOR FIRST USE
Before first use, remove all labels from the soleplate and housing. Turn the iron on, allow it to heat up, then turn the iron off. Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label, or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
- The tank can be filled with ordinary tap water. Distilled or demineralized water is preferred.
- a. Using a clean measuring cup, slowly fill the tank until the water reaches the Max indicator. DO NOT OVERFILL.
- b. Wipe off any water that may have spilled on the outside of the iron with a soft, clean cloth.
- Set the iron on a stable, flat surface. We recommend using a quality ironing board as the pressing surface. Be sure to give yourself enough room to maneuver the iron when pressing.
- Plug the iron into an outlet. Make sure that no other high-wattage appliances are plugged into the same circuit.
- Once the iron heats up, it is ready to use.
- After use, turn the iron off, unplug it, and let the iron cool for 10 minutes before emptying the water and putting it away.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke, and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.
AUTO-OFF
As a safety feature, your iron will turn off automatically if left in the upright position and not moved for eight minutes, or left in the horizontal position and not moved for thirty seconds.
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale buildup on the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the Anti-Drip System, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics. Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti-Drip System automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, leave the steam selector on position “Ø”.
SPRAY FUNCTION
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir. Press the spray button slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray).
WARNING:
For delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand, using the spray function, or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please Note:
Before cleaning the iron in any way, make sure that the appliance plug is not connected to the outlet. Any deposits or starch residue left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or a nonabrasive liquid detergent after it has cooled. Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metallic objects. The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth, then wiped over with a dry cloth.
SELF CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate, removing impurities. We recommend using it every 10–15 days. Directions:
- Fill the water reservoir up to the maximum level indicated and set the steam selector to “OFF”.
- Set the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature and wait for the light to turn off.
- Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
- Hold the self-clean button setting until all the boiling water, steam, and impurities come out.
- When the soleplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth.
HOW TO STORE
- Disconnect the plug of the iron from the wall outlet.
- Leave the iron to cool down completely.
- Empty the water reservoir by turning the iron upside down over a sink and gently shaking it.
- Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
