Binatone SI-4040: CARE AND CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning of the sole plate

X Do not use any abrasive substances and

materials to clean the sole plate.

Cleaning of internal parts of the

appliance

SI-4040 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

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 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. Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.

7. Whilst holding the appliance horizontally over a sink, press the

self-clean knob «Self-Clean» (17). Hot steam will discharge

from the sole plate (12) removing the scale and dust.

8. When the water tank (5) is completely empty, release the self-

clean knob «Self-Clean» (17).

9. Put the appliance into a vertical position and wait until the iron

cools down.

10. Wipe the soleplate (12) with a piece of a clean old cotton

cloth of any remaining dust and scale.

Storage

Before storing the iron, make sure it is disconnected from the

mains supply outlet and is completely cooled down. Set the tem-

perature 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.
