Mellerware PROGLIDE STEAM IRON 23600 - Manual (Page 4)

STEAM IRONING
Place the iron in a vertical position and set the •
temperature control dial at the minimum/low
heat setting.
Insert the plug into the socket, and then turn
•
the temperature control dial to the “high heat”
marking. The pilot light will come on, indicat-
ing that the iron is heating up.
When the pilot light turns off, the set tempera-
•
ture has been reached and the iron is ready
to use.
During ironing, the pilot light on the iron au-
•
tomatically switches on/off as the thermostat
maintains the set temperature (you may con-
tinue ironing during this process).
Turn the steam control turning knob to the re-
•
quired position.
Steam is produced as soon as the iron in held
•
horizontally.
SPRAYING
Press the spray button to spray water on •
clothes, as often as required.
Note: When using the water spray function, en-
sure that there is enough water in the water tank,
and you may have to pump the spray button sev-
eral times the first time you use the iron in order
to start the spraying function.
BURST OR VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
Press the burst of Steam button to generate •
a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate
the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and
tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before
pressing again.
By pressing the Burst of Steam Button at in-
•
tervals you can also iron vertically (curtain,
hung garments, etc.)
Note: The burst steam function can only be used at
high temperature. Stop the emission when the pilot
light turns on, then start ironing again only after the
pilot light has turned off.
DRY IRONING
For ironing without steam, follow the instruction in
section “steam ironing”, however, the steam con-
trol turning knob should remain in position “O” (no
steam).
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special filter inside the water tank softens the wa-
ter and prevents scale build-up in the soleplate. The
filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Note: Use tap water only. Distilled and demineral-
ized water makes the anti-calc system ineffective
by altering its physicochemical characteristics.
SELF-CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the sole-
plate, removing impurities. We recommend using
it every 10-15 days.
Set the steam control turning knob to Position •
O (no steam).
Fill the water tank to maximum level.
•
Set the temperature control dial to MAX and •
wait for the pilot light to turn off.
Pull the plug out of the socket and press the
•
self-cleaning button until the boiling water,
steam, impurities come out.
When the soleplate has cooled down, you can
•
clean it with a damp cloth
HOW TO CLEAN AND STORE
After using, remove the plug from the socket, •
lift the iron with the filling hole downwards
to empty the remaining water from the water
tank.
Insert the plug into the socket, and set the
•
Temperature Control Dial to “MAX” for 1-2
minutes to evaporate the remaining water,
and then unplug the iron and let it cool down
before storing it.
