use the steam burst button (8): engagement of the button (8)

during the ironing process generates an extra burst of steam from

the sole plate to help remove stubborn creases.

 While holding the iron in a vertical position, aim its sole plate

towards the articles to be ironed and push the steam burst

button (8) to produce a directional strong burst of steam from

the sole plate. Push the button several times with 5-7 seconds

intervals until the article is fully refreshed. If during the process

your water tank (5) runs out of water, disconnect the appliance

from the mains outlet, wait till it cools down, refill the tank and

plug the appliance back into the power supply and continue the

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning of the sole plate

 The scale on the sole plate can be removed

with a rough cotton cloth dampened with a

vinegar solution.

 Do not use any abrasive substances and

materials to clean the sole plate.

Cleaning of internal parts of the appliance

SI-2610 iron is equipped with an anti-scale function which

protects it from an accumulation of scale: it does this with a built-in

permanent filter. Therefore the water hardness is reduced and

the useful service life of the iron is extended.

Warning: in areas with very hard water it is recommended

that you regularly remove scale from the appliance to

7

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.
