FAQs

Can I use distilled water in this iron?

While tap water is recommended, if your water is very hard, you can use a 50/50 mix of tap and demineralized water. Avoid using 100% distilled or pure demineralized water, as this can affect steam performance.

How often should I clean the Scale Collector?

It is recommended to empty and rinse the Scale Collector every few uses or whenever the maintenance indicator light illuminates. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.

What does 'Sanitary Steam' do?

Sanitary Steam uses high heat and pressure to eliminate 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and germs from fabrics, providing a hygienic clean for your laundry without the need for chemicals.

How do I store the steam generator iron?

Allow the iron to cool down completely. Store it upright in a dry place. The power cord and steam hose can often be wrapped around the base or stored neatly.

Is the water tank removable?

Yes, the water tank is removable, making it easy to fill and empty.

What is the benefit of the Durilium Airglide soleplate?

The Durilium Airglide soleplate offers excellent scratch resistance and superior glideability, allowing the iron to move effortlessly across fabrics, speeding up the ironing process and providing professional results.

Troubleshooting

Iron is not producing steam.

Ensure the water tank is filled and the iron has reached the correct temperature. Check that the steam button is engaged and that the appliance is plugged in and powered on. If the problem persists, the appliance may require descaling.

Water is leaking from the soleplate.

Ensure the iron is fully heated. If used on a low setting, water may not vaporize completely. Allow the iron to reach its working temperature. If leaks persist, check the water tank seal and ensure it is properly closed.

White residue or scale on clothes.

This indicates limescale build-up. Empty and rinse the Scale Collector. If the issue continues, perform a descaling cycle as per the manufacturer's instructions and ensure the Scale Collector is properly installed.

Iron is not gliding smoothly.

The Durilium Airglide soleplate may have residue. Ensure the iron is cool and clean the soleplate with a damp cloth. Check for any fabric debris caught on the soleplate.

Maintenance light is on.

This indicates that the Scale Collector needs to be emptied and rinsed. Follow the instructions for removing and cleaning the Scale Collector.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fill the removable water tank with tap water. Ensure the iron is unplugged and cool before filling.
  2. Place the iron on its base.
  3. Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
  4. Select the appropriate heat and steam settings for your fabric type.

Compatibility:

This steam generator iron is suitable for use with most common fabrics. Always check the garment's care label before ironing. Use tap water as recommended; if your water is very hard, consider using a 50/50 mix of tap and demineralized water.

Care:

  • Scale Collector: Regularly remove and rinse the Scale Collector under running water to collect limescale. This should be done every few uses, or as indicated by the iron's maintenance light.
  • Soleplate Cleaning: After the iron has cooled completely, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For stubborn residues, use a non-abrasive cleaner designed for iron soleplates.
  • Storage: Allow the iron to cool down completely before storing. Store upright in a dry place.
