BEFORE STARTING TO IRON
i
Always make sure the soleplate protector has been removed before starting to
iron.
i
Due to the high levels of mains water hardness in most areas, Solac recommends that
you always use demineralised water for ironing. In this way, you will guarantee that
your iron remains in optimal condition for a longer period of time.
i
If, for any reason, you cannot find demineralised water, please ensure you use water
with a low mineral content (soft water), or filter tap water using a water filter.
i
Do not use decalcifying agents or descaling products in the water tank. Do not
use scented water or ironing water either. These products damage the interior of
the steam generation system.
1 With the iron unplugged from the mains, rotate the steam selector (10) to the closed
position (fig. 2).
2 Open the water filler opening (5). Fill the water tank without exceeding the maximum
level, using the water beaker provided (12) and keeping the iron in the vertical position
(Fig. 1). When the tank is full, close the cap.
Z
When filling the tank, make sure that the water does not overflow from the water filler
opening.
3 Check whether the garment to be ironed has a label indicating the ironing temperature.
Z
We recommend you classify the garments according to their required ironing
temperature and begin with the garments ironed on the lowest temperature (•).
i
NOTE: Ironing delicate garments at a temperature higher than necessary spoils the
fabric and causes burnt residue to stick to the soleplate.

• The first few times you use it, some small white particles may be released; these
are totally harmless and do not stain. This is a relatively normal result of the
manufacturing processes.
• Do not spray “vertical” steam on a garment hanging in the wardrobe or on a person.
Vertical ironing must be done with the garment on a hanger and away from other
garments, elements or persons.
• When you finish ironing, always empty the water from the tank. If you want to drain it
while ironing, always unplug the appliance from the mains first.
• To disconnect the iron, never pull on the power cord, take out the plug.
q
IMPORTANT: When you want to dispose of the appliance, NEVER throw it in the
rubbish. Instead, go to your closest CLEAN POINT or waste collection centre for
subsequent treatment. In this way, you will be contributing to looking after the
environment.
Before disposing of your used appliance, you should make it visibly unserviceable
and have it disposed of according to current national legislation. Ask your
Distributor, Town Council or Local Authority for detailed information.
