READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For first time use, a slight emission of smoke an soun s ma e by the expan ing plastics is quite normal an it stops
after a short time. We also recommen passing the iron over an or inary cloth before using it. Both temperature ial
an most items of laun ry have a marking which correspon s with this co e:
GARMENT LABEL FABRIC TYPE THERMOSTAT REGULATION
synthetic low temperature
silk - wool me ium temperature
Cotton - linen high temperature
Fabric not to be irone
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin fil er inside he wa er reservoir sof ens he wa er and preven s scale build-up in he pla e. The resin
fil er is permanen and does no need replacing. Please no e:
Use tap water only. Distille an / emineralise water makes the anti-calc system ineffective by altering its
physicochemical characteristics. Do not use chemical a itives, scente substances or ecalcifiers. Failure to comply
with the above-mentione regulations lea s to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti- rip system, you can perfectly iron even the most elicate fabrics. Always iron these fabrics at low
temperatures. The plate may cool own to the point where no more steam comes out, but rather rops of boiling water
that can leave marks or stains. In these cases, the Anti- rip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so
that you can iron the most elicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (Op ional Func ion, applicable o SF-1318)
The automatic shut off evice trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in the upright position or unuse
for approx. Thirty secon s in the horizontal position. The light comes on to in icate that shut off has trippe . As soon as
you move the iron, the evice turns off an the iron starts working again.
