!
DRIP STOP
The appliance prevents leaking water from the ironing plate when its temperature is
insufficient. Your expensive natural fabrics (e.g. silk) are thus protected against damage.
Safety electronics (AUTO STOP – applies for type ETA 3287)
The safety electronics ensures switching OFF the iron plate heating within 30 seconds,
when the iron is left without any movement in horizontal position or when it is tilted over
to one side, or within 10 minutes, when it is left in vertical position. Function of safety
electronics is signalled by flashing of indicator lamp G2 and by acoustic signal (beep).
The iron is restarted automatically, when the ironing is resumed.
Self-cleaning system (SELF CLEAN)
Hold the iron disconnected from power supply in your hand, turn steaming regulator D
to 0 position (Fig. 5) and lift off cover C to open the filling container lid. Pour water into
container I using the enclosed cup O to fill half of it and close the filling hole lid (Fig. 4) by
snapping it. Keep the position of the iron for pouring water in it. Put the iron to the rest
position (Fig. 7) and set the regulation wheel H to the maximum position. Plug power cord
M into a socket. When the control light G1 switch off, disconnect the iron from the electric
power. Hold the iron in the horizontal position over a sink. Press the SELF CLEAN button
repeatedly (two to three times), each time for about 5 seconds.
Then wait till water stops going out from the ironing plate. If the iron still contains a lot of
impurities, repeat the procedure while pushing the intensive steaming button between
individual pushing of the SELF-CLEAN button. After completing the cleaning, plug the
iron into the electric power, set the selected program and then iron a clean piece of cotton
cloth so that the ironing plate is cleaned. Clean the ironing plate using the SELF CLEAN
function continuously.
Storage
After finishing ironing, pour out the unused water from the container (be careful, it can be
hot), or let the rest of the water evaporate and let the iron cool down. Then turn regulator
D to 0 position (steam switched off). Wind power cord M over the back side of cover L and
put the iron to the rest position (Fig. 8) out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
Iv. MAINTENANCE
Before every maintenance, unplug the iron from power supply by taking the fork of
the power cord out of the socket! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g.
sharp objects, peelers, pot scourers, caustic agents for cleaning or other solvents).
Wipe the entire iron with a wet cloth in the cooled state and dry up. If brown film is created
on the ironing plate (e.g. when ironing starched laundry), you can remove the film by
a detergent containing fine sand.
