Cleaning And Maintenance - Hotpoint SG E12 AA0 Operating Instructions Manual

wrinkles from hanging garments, curtains etc. To
use this function just place your iron in a vertical
position. All the functions of the steam generator
will remain unchanged in this position - refer to
paragraph "Using the appliance".
We also recommend using the shot-of-steam
function to iron any hanging garments, because
it ensures an extra steam flow that is excellent for
such garments.
Do not direct steam towards people or
animals and do not iron garments while
worn.
Eco function (H)
Your Power Perfection steam generator is
equipped with an Eco function that allows energy
savings of 30% compared to normal consumption
in terms of maximum steam level, thus always
ensuring the steam quantity needed to iron your
garments.
To start the Eco function set the steam control (16)
to Eco ( ). When the Steam Ready indicator
light (20) turns on, you can start steam ironing.
Automatic switch-off function (I)
The automatic switch-off function ensures total
safety.
This function automatically switches off the
steam generator when it is not used for a few
minutes. In particular, your Power Perfection will
automatically switch off after 11 minutes if it is left
unused in the ironing position, on one side or in a
vertical position.
If you leave the steam generator unattended, a
buzzer will sound to inform you that the automatic
switch-off function is active. To restart it, just press
one of the buttons (shot of steam, steam).
Wait for the Steam Ready indicator light
to turn on again and for the temperature
indicator light to turn off before start ironing
again.
