After Use - Fakir BT 200 Instructions For Use Manual

After use

Leave the appliance on for 5 - 10 minutes so that the heating system of the ironing board
dries out any residual humidity. Switch of the master switch E, and disconnect the appli-
ance by removing the plug from the mains socket.
Rewind the cable. Let the ironing board cool off some minutes more, and fit the iron pro-
tection shell. Turn back the temperature of the iron to the minimum setting.
Close the appliance as previously described.
The water still in the tank can be left to be used next time you iron.
MAINTENANCE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Change the ironing board cover only when the board is cool. Underneath some parts can
be hot. The cover is machine-washable at 60° C. You can buy spare covers where the
appliance has been purchased.
Store the appliance in dry rooms. For safety reasons the appliance must only be used in
dry rooms.
Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the plug. Clean the appliance with a wet cloth.
Keep the iron soleplate clean. If you use a Teflon soleplate cover, after cooling down, dry
the soleplate cover inside and outside with a cloth. Do not let the Teflon soleplate cover
cool and dry on the iron.
The steam generating unit can be separated from the appliance. Disconnect the plug
from the mains supply. Unscrew the two plastic-headed screws placed on the lower side
of the appliance.
After having inserted the part, screw the safety again.
If the steam generator should need maintenance, it can be easily removed making the
transportation easier. This feature also enables you to rinse out the boiler regularly to
remove scale deposits. In particularly hard water areas this operation should be repea-
ted more frequently.. Fill the tank to half, shake it gently from side to side then turn it over
and tip the water into a bowl or sink. The small whitish flakes coming out are scale.
Repeat the operation until only clear water comes out.
Do not use any detergents or descalers. The tank cannot be completely emptied and the
residues of chemical substances could damage the mechanical parts and your garments.
