Advice On Disposal - Siemens SensorSteam TS12 Series Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning
Attention ! Risk of burns !
Always unplug the appliance from the mains supply
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operation on it.
• If the iron is only slightly soiled, pull out the plug
and allow the soleplate (13) to cool down. Wipe the
housing and the soleplate with a damp cotton cloth
only.
• If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the high
temperature on the soleplate (13), switch off the
steam and rub off any residue immediately with a
thickly folded, dry cotton cloth.
• To keep the soleplate (13) smooth, you should avoid
hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring
pad, or chemicals to clean the soleplate.
• Never decalcify the tank (11) or treat it with detergents
or solvents, otherwise the iron will drip water whilst
steaming.
Storing
• Open the illing opening lid (9).
• Hold the iron with the front facing down and shake it
gently until the water tank (11) is empty.
• Set the iron aside in a vertical position to cool down.
• Coil the power cable (16) loosely around the heel of
the iron, before storing.
• Store the iron in an upright position.
Tips to help saving energy and water
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help
minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest
ironing temperature. Check the recommended ironing
temperature in the label on the garment.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected ironing
temperature, following the instructions in this manual.
Iron at "eco" steam setting (see "setting the steam
level" section).
• Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp and
reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated
from the fabrics rather than the iron. If you tumble dry
your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier
on the 'iron dry' programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, set the steam to the
position (see "ironing without steam" section).
