steam on steam off (upright position) (lowered position) With the steam button (3) in the upright position, turn the steam regulator (3a) to adjust the steam quantity. Pre-Conditioning Steam (available on models SI 6285 and SI 6245) Steam comes out of the channels on the upper part of the soleplate around the front of the iron. This preconditions the fabric by «pre-steaming», thus making ironing easier. Use caution as steam comes out laterally. 2 Power shot Prior to use, press the power shot button (5) 3 to 4 times to activate it. Press the power shot button (5) in intervals of at least 5 seconds. Power shot (5) can be activated when dry ironing (see point 4 below). However, the temperature selector (6) must be set in the range between «•••» and «max». The power shot function can also be used in the vertical position for steaming hanging garments or curtains. 3 Spray function Press the spray button (4). 4 Dry ironing Turn the steam mode off by pressing the steam button (3) down so that it catches in the lowered position. 5 Automatic Shut-Off (available on models SI 6285, SI 6245 and SI 6225) Important: the auto shut-off feature is mercury-free. The auto shut-off mechanism causes a slight rattling noise during ironing. This is normal and in no case indicates a fault of the iron. The «auto-off» pilot light (7) will flash when the automatic shut-off is activated. This happens when the iron has rested: – horizontally on the soleplate for about 25 seconds or – vertically on the heel rest (8) for about 12.5 minutes or – when the iron has been lying on its side for about 25 seconds. To turn on the iron again, just move it. When the «auto-off» pilot light (7) stops flashing the electrical power is on again. D After ironing • Unplug the iron and press the steam on/off button (3) down so that it catches in the lowered position (steam off). • To prolong the life of the iron empty the water tank after each use. • Always allow the iron to cool down before storing it in the upright position in a dry place. E Maintenance and cleaning To clean the soleplate use steel wool. Then wipe the soleplate clean with a cloth. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals. To clean the soft material on the handle and the knobs, wipe with soapy water. F Cleaning the «anti-calc» valve The iron's «anti-calc» valve is a long wand that is located beneath the steam button (3). This valve needs to be decalcified regularly (e.g., when the steam development is insufficient). Proceed as follows: 1) Unplug the iron and empty the water tank. 2) Press the steam button (3) so that it is in the upright position. 3) Remove the steam button (3) carefully (some water may leak from the soleplate). 4) Be careful not to touch the «anti-calc» valve. 5) Immerse the valve in white vinegar or lemon juice until the limescale becomes soft. 6) Using a brush with non-metallic bristles, brush until all openings on the valve are clean. 7) Rinse the valve under running water. 8) Insert the valve back into the iron and press the steam button (3) down until it clicks into place. 9) Press the steam button (3) to check the steam on/off function. Note: never use the iron unless the steam button (3) is securely in place. G Decalcifying/«anti-calc» system When limescale particles come out of the steam vents or when the steam development is insufficient even after cleaning the «anti-calc» valve, you should clean the steam chamber as follows: 1) Make sure the steam button (3) is in the lowered position (steam off). 2)–3) Fill the water tank, plug in the iron and select the «•••» temperature setting. 4)–5) Wait until the pilot light (7) turns off, then unplug the iron from the outlet. 6)–7) Holding the iron over a sink, press the steam button (3) so it is in the upright position, carefully pull it up, turn it and let it rest in that position. Caution: When the steam button (3) is pulled up, hot water and steam will be released from the soleplate. 8) Turn the steam button (3) back into place by pushing it down until it clicks into place. 9)–10) Fill the water tank, plug the iron in and select the «•••» temperature setting. 11)–13) When the pilot light (7) goes off, press the power shot button (5) 4 times to rinse the iron. Disconnect the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool off, then clean it as described above in section E. Note: the iron must never be used without the steam button (3). H Troubleshooting Guide Problem Remedy Water drops coming out of the steam vents No steam at all Less steam develops or no steam at all Calcium particles coming through the steam vents Turn the steam regulator (3a) counterclockwise to reduce the steam or press the steam button (3) down to turn the steam off. Wait for longer intervals between pressing the power shot button (5). Select a higher temperature setting. Press the steam button (3) so that it is in the upright position. Clean the «anti-calc» valve (see section F). Decalcify the steam chamber (see section G). Subject to chang...
