ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scale build-
up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
Please note:
Use tap water only. Distilled and/demineralised water makes the “Zero-Calc” anti-
calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances or decalcifiers. Failure to com-
ply with the above-mentioned regulations leads to the loss of guarantee.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the anti-drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point
where no more steam comes out, but rather drops of boiling water that can leave marks
or stains. In these cases, the Anti-drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporiza-
tion, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining
them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF (Only SNG 5.22)
The automatic shut off device trips after the iron has been left for approx. eight minutes in
the upright position or unused for approx. Thirty seconds in the horizontal position. The
light comes on to indicate that shut off has tripped. As soon as you move the iron, the
device turns off and the iron starts working again.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear
some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a
short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for
the first time.
PREPARATIONS
Soft the laundry to be ironed according to the international symbols on the garment label,
or if this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and
eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
