Self-Cleaning - Singer STI-1720-SSWF Instruction Manual

BURST OF STEAM
• Set the temperature dial at the "●●●" or MAX position, then press down the
burst steam button.
• The soleplate will spray out bursting steam.
• To prevent water leaking from the soleplate, do not keep the burst steam
button pressed for more than 5 seconds.
SPRAY SETTING
Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank. By pressing the spray
button a couple of times at any temperature, the laundry can be damped down
to make them softer and easier to iron.
DRY IRONING
Turn the steam knob to the minimum position (=no steam) and set the
temperature dial to the suitable position.

SELF-CLEANING

It is important to apply "self-cleaning" often to remove impurities etc. The
harder the water the more the iron should be self-cleaned.
• Open the fi ll cover and fi ll the water tank with water up to the MAX position,
then close the fi ll cover.
• Set the temperature dial to MAX.
• Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
• Allow the iron to heat up until the pilot light goes out. Then set temperature
dial to position MIN.
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink, then press the self-clean button
enabling the iron to self clean.
• Boiling water and steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate.
Impurities are washed away with it. Move the iron forwards and backwards
while this happens.
• Set the steam control to "0" position when the water tank has emptied.
• Repeat self-cleaning if you notice that impurities haven't been washed out.
• Move the iron over a (preferably) old piece of cloth. This is to ensure that
the soleplate will be dry during storage.
• Unplug and allow the iron to cool down before storing it.
