fabric that contains 60% polyester
and 40% cotton should be ironed at
the temperature that corresponds to
the polyester).
- Turn on the iron and the heater, by
pressing the corresponding switches.
The respective pilot lights will turn
on. (Fig. 3).
- Wait until the pilot light (C) steam
ready indicator is connected.
- The appliance will be ready to use
for ironing. From this moment, the
pilot light steam ready indicator (C)
will switch on and off automatically,
according to the steam consumption.
You will also hear a slight sound
intermittently, caused by the water
pump that replaces water in the
heater. Continue ironing normally.
- When the water reaches a minimum
level in deposit J, fill it up without
exceeding the maximum level. (Fig.
1)
Ironing with steam:
- Ironing can be carried out with
steam always when the deposit
contains water and the selected
temperature is suitable.
The appliance has a control (H),
which enables the steam control to
be blocked thus obtaining continuous
steam without having to constantly
press the steam blast control.
Steam flow control: (Fig. 3)
- Control (F) on the appliance allows
the steam flow to be regulated.
How to iron in a vertical position
(Fig. 6)
It is possible to iron hanging curtains,
items of clothing on its hanger, etc.
To do so, follow the instructions:
- Select the maximum temperature
of the iron, while turning the
temperature regulator of the iron in a
clockwise direction (Fig. 2).
- Move the iron in a top to bottom
direction while pressing the steam
control (G).
Important: for cotton and linen,
it’s recommended to put the iron
base in contact with the material.
For other more delicate fibres, it’s
recommended to keep the iron base
at some centimetres of distance.
Once you have finished using the
appliance:
- Select the minimum position (MIN)
via the temperature control dial.
- Unplug the appliance from the
mains.
- Remove the water from the deposit.
Temperature safety protector:
- The device has a temperature safety
protector, which protects the device
from overheating.
Cleaning
- Disconnect the appliance from the
mains and allow it to cool before
undertaking any cleaning task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp
cloth with a few drops of washing-up
liquid and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products
with an acid or base pH such as
bleach, or abrasive products, for
cleaning the appliance.
- Do not submerge the appliance in
water or any other liquid, or place it
under a running tap.
How to deal with lime scale
incrustations:
- For the appliance to work correctly
it should be kept free of lime scale or
magnesium incrustations caused by
the use of hard water.
- To prevent this kind of problem, we
recommend the use of distilled water.
- However, if it is not possible to
use the kind of water recommended
above, you should periodically remove
the lime scale from the appliance:
- Every 6 weeks if the water is “very
hard”.
- Every 12 weeks if the water is
“hard”.
- To do so, we recommend the use
of the specific product Taurus Decal,
which can be found in specialised
shops and authorised technical
services.
- Homemade solutions are not
recommended in the descaling of this
appliance, such as the use of vinegar.
Cleaning the detachable water heater
- Check that the appliance has cooled
down (wait at least 3 hours after
disconnecting the appliance)
-Empty the water deposit (J) first and
later the detachable water heater
- To empty the detachable water
heater open the stopper lid of the
boiler (k) and unscrew the deposit
lid (L) in an anti-clockwise direction.
(Fig. 5)
- Empty the water boiler and close
it by screwing on the stopper and
turning it in a clockwise direction.
- Fill the water deposit J with
