Steam Ironing; Cleaning, Maintenance And Storage; Ironing Tips - Princess 2411 Instructions For Use Manual

STEAM IRONING

1. As indicated on the thermostat, steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures, so set
the thermostat to •• or •••
2. Insert the plug into the electricity socket.
3. Set the "steam tank on/off" switch to "on". The indicator light will come on.
4. The iron heats up faster than the water tank. If you wish, you can switch the iron on a couple of
minutes later.
5. Select the right temperature using the thermostat.
6. Set the "iron on/off" switch to "on". The indicator light in the switch and the iron heating indicator
light will come on.
7. After a few minutes, the iron heating indicator light will go out. This means that the iron plate has
reached the right temperature.
8. When the indicator light on the switch goes out it means that the water reservoir has heated up and
that there is enough steam. You can now start to steam iron.
SWITCHING ON THE STEAM
Ensure that there is water in the reservoir and that the thermostat is set to "steam".
Press the uppermost button to turn on the steam.
IMPORTANT: you may have to press the bottom button (steam jet) a few times to remove all the air
from the system before the pump will start.
Pressing the button on top will cause the iron to emit steam. You can turn the steam off by briefly pres-
sing the bottom button halfway in.
Pressing the bottom button all the way in produces a jet of steam.
The iron can be used to steam iron horizontally or vertically (e.g. to clean curtains and clothing).

CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Always remove the plug from the socket and allow the iron to cool off fully before you clean it.
• Wipe lime deposits and other impurities from the iron plate using a damp cloth and a non-scratch clea-
ning agent; never scratch at the iron plate with metal objects.
• Never put vinegar or other agents in the water reservoir.
• Clean the iron's casing with a soft, damp cloth.
• Empty the remaining water out of the reservoir after each time you use the iron.
• Stand the iron upright after emptying out the water.
• For descaling you can use the normal decalcifying agents on sale at supermarkets. Take care that these
are suitable for irons. Follow the instructions on the packaging of the decalcifying agent, and after-
wards rinse a couple of times with clean water.

IRONING TIPS

1. Sort your washing by fabric type. Always follow the advice on ironing that is usually to be found on a
label in one of the seams of the garment. Iron the garments that require the lowest temperature setting first.
