maintain it in good working order. Excess lime scale
may result in damage or malfunction of your product.
If in your area the water is soft and you have average amounts
of clothes to be ironed then we recommend you to de-scale every
6 months. If you use SI-2600 iron and if the water in your area
is very hard or if you iron frequently, then we recommend you
de-scale once a month.
Your iron has a self-cleaning function, which allows you to
clean the internal parts of the appliance from scale or dust. To use
this function perform the following procedure:
1. Set the steam control knob (9) into the “0” position.
2. Fill the tank (5) with water to the “Max” level.
3. Place the iron in a vertical position and plug it into the mains supply
outlet.
4. Set the temperature control knob (10) into the “Max” posi-
tion. The light indicator (11) will light up showing that the iron
is being heated to the desired temperature.
5. When the iron reaches the maximum temperature, the light
indicator (11) will go out.
6. Whilst holding the appliance horizontally over a sink, set the steam
control knob (9) into the “Self-Clean” position. Hot steam
will discharge from the sole plate (12) removing the scale and
dust. If the blast of steam becomes weaker, set the control
knob (9) into the “0” position and wait for 12-15 seconds until
the iron gets hot again. Then once again set the control knob
into the “Self-clean” position.
7. When the water tank (5) is completely empty, set the steam control
knob (9) into the “0” position.
8. Put the appliance into a vertical position and re-heat the iron.
9. To complete the cleaning process; Iron a piece of a clean old cotton
cloth in order to clean the sole plate (12) of any remaining dust
and scale and to evaporate the remaining water. When you have
finished ironing, always switch the appliance off and disconnect
from the electrical supply.
Storage
Before storing the iron, make sure it is disconnected from the mains
supply outlet and is completely cooled down. Set the temperature
control knob into the “Min” position and the steam control knob
into the “0” position. Drain the remaining water from the tank (5)
by opening the cover (4) and holding the iron upside down over
the sink. Store the appliance in the upright standing position.
