Maintenance And Care; Troubleshooting - Fakir 2150 Watt User And Care Manual

Most types of fabric, other than delicates can be
STEAM ironed at this temperature, Fabric indications
on dial are for DRY ironing, NOT steam ironing.
• Wait for a few minutes until the "Iron heating"
indicator light (2) goes out, to show that the soleplate
of the iron has reached the required temperature.
• Press the steam request button (3) to enable the
steam to come out. The steam flow will stop when the
button is released. After each filling, when you first
start to use the iron, a few drops of water mixed with
the steam may be emitted (due to imperfect heat
stabilisation). It is therefore advisable to direct the
first jet of steam onto a rag.
• To obtain a continuous jet of steam move the sliding
button (4). The steam will continue to come out even
when the steam request button (3) is released. To
stop the flow of steam push the sliding button
backwards
(4).
Dry Ironing
• If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT steamironing),
press the boiler switch (2) and adjust the temperature
of the iron by turning dial to the temperature required
for the fabric (as shown on the dial).
ATTENTION: When dry ironing, be careful not to
press the steam request button, as hot water could
come out of the iron onto your garment and board.
Important note
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected
to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces
that allow the steam to escape e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is necessary
to have it checked by an authorized fakir service center
as the internal safety features may have been affected.
ATTENTION: If you iron sitting down, do not
place your legs under the ironing board, the
steam can cause burns.
General maintenance
Before carrying out any type of maintenance make sure
that the power cable has been disconnected from the
mains.
After using the brushes it is advisable to allow the bristles
to cool in their natural position so as to avoid them getting
deformed in any way.
Check the conditions of the gaskets located inside the
monobloc plug (B2) periodically. If necessary, replace
them with the appropriate spares. Also carry out the
same check on the gaskets for connecting the extension
tubes (D) and the handle (A2). To clean the outside of
the appliance, just use a damp cloth. Do not use solvents
or detergents as these might damage the plastic surface.
To clean the "ECOACTIVE-FILTER" holder and clean
or change the sponge filter, follow the instructions in the
paragraph headed "EMPTYING AND CLEANING
THE dirt container".
Washable hepa filter
WARNING: Magic Steam Vac Basic is equippedwith
a washable filter. To clean the filter, proceed as follows:
• Unfasten the handle (22) of the dirt container and
remove the container (20) as described in the paragraph
headed "PREPARATION FOR USE".
• Lift the Hepa filter release lever (18) and remove the
filter from its recess (Fig. 14).
• Rinse the filter in cold running water. Shake it gently
after washing to eliminate any residual dirt and excess
water.
NOTE: Let the filter dry naturally, far away from light
and heat sources. You should wait 24 hours before
reassembling the filter in the appliance.
• Replace the filter if it is torn.
• The filter should be cleaned every 4 months for average-
frequency of use.
• To position the Hepa filter correctly (17) make sure that
it fits properly into its recess (19) and then that the release
lever closes over it holding it in place (18) (Fig.14).
WARNING:
• Do not clean the filter with the brush, as this could
damage it, decreasing its filtering capacity.
• Do not use detergents, do not scrape filter, and do not
attempt to wash it in a dishwasher.
