Setting The Temperature; Before First Use; Filling The Water Tank; Preparing For Use - Philips Elance 3100 GC3106 Manual

Before first use

1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate.
 Let the iron heat up to maximum temperature and pass the iron
over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any
residues from the soleplate.

Preparing for use

Filling the water tank

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids,
chemically descaled water or other chemicals in the water tank.
Never immerse the iron in water.
1 Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no steam).
3 Open the cap of the filling opening.
4 Tilt the iron backwards.
5 Fill the water tank with tap water up to the maximum level with the
filling cup.
Do not fill the tank beyond the MAX indication.
Note: If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to use distilled
water.
6 Close the cap of the filling opening ('click').

Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.
 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial
to the appropriate position.
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
- 1 Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide, polyester)
- 1 Silk
- 2 Wool
- 3 Cotton, linen
If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that is not visible
when you wear or use the article.
Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent stains.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such
as those made of synthetic fibres.
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
