User manual DELONGHI VVX 100

[. . . ] œ Linen textiles can be steam-ironed by abundantly vaporising the material and by ironing dark colours on the reverse to avoid the “shiny” effect. Iron the reverse of your clothes on the right side to make them stand out. œ Each time you start operating the steam generator (and the first time you use it) or if you haven’t used steam for some minutes: press the steam control button several times and away from the ironing board. 8 IMPORTANT Carefully read this handbook before using the appliance in order to obtain the best results and for maximum safety in use. [. . . ] IN PARTICULAR: • Never touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet. € Never pull the mains lead or the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet. € Never let children or the disabled use the appliance without supervision. € Do not leave the iron unsupervised when plugged into the power socket. € Always disconnect the plug before filling the boiler tank, or before carrying out any maintenance work on the actual appliance itself, or before cleaning it. € If the appliance should become faulty and/or not work properly, contact a Customer Service Centre appointed by the manufacturer and ask for original spare parts. Non-compliance with this warning can compromise the safety of the appliance. € When the appliance is to be discarded, after unplugging it, the mains lead should be cut to make the appliance unusable. € The mains lead of this appliance should not be changed by the user. If it is damaged or needs replacing, contact a Customer Service Centre appointed by the manufacturer. € If the thermistor is activated, the appliance switches off automatically. To use the appliance again, it must be serviced by qualified personnel. € Do not direct the steam jet toward people as this could be dangerous. € ONLY use the iron pad supplied; in the event of loss (or damage), only use the ORIGINAL spare part. • DO NOT OPEN THE CAP WHEN USING THE APPLIANCE OR UNTIL THE APPLIANCE HAS RUN OUT OF WATER. The latter occurs when no more steam is released from the iron or the accessories. To add water, unplug the appliance, and wait around 15 minutes to avoid rapid changes in temperature. Place a cloth on the cap and gradually unscrew it, allowing any residual steam to be released slowly. € The boiler should be placed on a flat surface that is particularly resistant to high temperatures. This appliance complies with the directive 89/336/EEC on radio interference suppression. 9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing. In case of very hard water (hardness above 27°F) we suggest using half distilled water and half tap water. [. . . ] To unlock the button push the slide lock forwards to its original place. The iron A is provided with a special device which allows you to have a steam supply “on the whole plate” or “concentrated on the tip”. If you want a steam supply “on the whole plate”, press the steam supply button (6) with the iron in a horizontal position. If you keep the button (6) pressed and move the iron in a vertical position, the steam supply will continue “on the whole plate” (picture 3). [. . . ]
