Filling Cup

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin filter inside the Water Tank softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the plate. The resin filter is permanent; it does not need replacing.
PLEASE NOTE! Mueller irons are designed to use a REGULAR TAP WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder than this, we recommend mixing tap water with distilled water (1:1 ratio), which reduces the hardness; or just use inexpensive bottled water.
Do not use chemical additives, scented substances, or decalcifiers.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the Anti-Drip system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron delicate fabrics at low temperatures. The plate may cool down to the point where no more steam comes out, leaving drops of boiling water that can leave marks or stains on the fabric. In these cases, the Anti-Drip system automatically activates to prevent vaporization, so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics without risk of spoiling or staining them.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The Auto Shut-Off indicator will automatically show a flickering green light if the Steam Iron is tipped over or placed horizontally for more then 30 sec or vertically for 8 min. In this case, the Steam Iron will produce a warning sound and will automatically switch off.

To save time, start ironing garments requiring a low temperature. This reduces the waiting times (the Steam Iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
STEAM IRONING
Filling With Water
­ Check that the plug is disconnected from the socket. ­ Move the Steam Selector to . ­ Open the Water Inlet Cover. ­ Hold the Steam Iron at an angle (~60°) and flip
open the Water Inlet Cover. Fill the Water Tank with water (containing no additives) to the “MAX” water level mark using the provided Filling Cup, and close the cover.
NOTE: ­ If you need to add water during ironing, UNPLUG
the Power Cord from the outlet and repeat the above steps. ­ Ensure the Steam Iron is fully reheated after filling.

6 | PREPARATIONS

Selecting the Temperature
­ Place the Steam Iron on an even and stable surface on its heel rest.
­ Insert the Power Cord into an electric power socket.
­ Adjust the Temperature Dial according to the international symbol on the garment label (see chart at left). The Temperature Indicator Light indicates that the Steam Iron is heating up. Wait until the Temperature Indicator Light goes off before ironing.

NOTE: The Temperature Dial does not adjust the amount of steam.

Also, steam will only work at the specified temperature settings when

set to

or

WARNING!
During ironing, the Temperature Indicator Light comes on at intervals, indicating that the selected temperature is maintained. If you lower the thermostat temperature after ironing at a high temperature, do not start ironing until the Temperature Indicator Light turns on again.
Selecting the Steam ­ The amount of steam is regulated by the Steam
Selector. ­ Move the Steam Selector to a position between
minimum and maximum depending on the quantity of steam required, and the temperature selected.

WARNING!
The Steam Iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the Steam Iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the Steam Iron in a vertical position or by moving the Steam Selector to . As indicated on the Temperature Dial you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate.

STEAM IRONING | 7

Choose “Burst of Steam” Instead of Continuous Steam When Ironing Vertically Press the “Burst of Steam” button once to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again. IRONING VERTICALLY: Use the “Burst Of Steam” button to iron curtains, hanging garments, etc.
WARNING!
The “Burst Of Steam” function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the steaming when the plate temperature control light comes on then start ironing again only after the light has gone off.
WARNING!
To avoid scald injury, do not touch the heating Soleplate or hot steam when using the Iron.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, follow the instructions in “Steam Ironing” (See Page 6) leaving the “Burst of Steam” button on position . Spray Function Make sure that there is water in the Water Tank. Press the “Spray” button down slowly for a jet or press quickly and firmly for a mist.
NOTE: Do not use the “Spray” function on silk and synthetics. Ensure the Steam Iron is fully reheated after filling.

CLEANING
­ Before cleaning the Steam Iron, make sure that the appliance plug is not connected to the electric outlet.
­ Any deposits or starch residue left on the plate can be removed using a damp cloth or an unabrasive liquid detergent.
­ Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or metal objects. ­ Clean the plastic parts with a damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
Self-Cleaning Button The “Self-Cleaning” feature cleans inside the Soleplate, removing scale and impurities. We recommend using it every 10­15 days. ­ Fill the Water Tank to the maximum level and set
the Steam Control switch to OFF. ­ Set the Temperature Dial to the maximum and
wait for the Temperature Indicator Light to turn off. ­ Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the Steam
Iron horizontally over the sink. ­ Hold the “Self-Cleaning” button until all the boiling
water, steam, impurities and scale come out of the Soleplate.
BE CAREFUL!
Water might be hot so keep it away from any skin exposed areas.
STORAGE
­ Make sure the Steam Iron is disconnected from the outlet. ­ Let the Steam Iron cool down completely. ­ Empty the Water Tank by turning the Steam Iron upside down over the sink,
and gently shaking it. ­ Roll up the Power Cord using the “Retract” button. ­ Store the Steam Iron, in a vertical position, in a cool and dry place.
ADVICE FOR GOOD IRONING
We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have fine finishes (sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g., 40% cotton 60% synthetics), set the Temperature Dial to the temperature of the fiber requiring the lower temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the fabric, test the temperature on a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
CLEANING | 9

Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks: the heat of the plate will make the stain “stick” to the fabric, making them irremovable.
To avoid leaving a burn mark on silk, woolen or synthetic garments, iron them inside out.
Velvet garments can be handled by ironing in one direction (following the fiber). Do not press down on the Steam Iron.
It is easier to iron fabrics if they are not completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed damp.
IRON TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
Steam Iron is leaking
Steam Iron is leaking
Steam Iron won’t heat
Temperature Indicator Light turns OFF and ON intermittently

Possible Cause

Solution

DISTILLED WATER

DO NOT use 100% pure distilled water, use tap water. In very hard water areas mix half tap water with half distilled to reduce hardness; or use inexpensive bottled spring water.

SOFTENED WATER
Auto-Off activated? Overuse of burst of steam

Most softened water is alright, but if you experience leaks or spitting, change to untreated tap water or inexpensive bottled spring water. DO NOT use 100% distilled water.
Move Steam Iron or gently shake.
Allow more time between each burst.

Is Steam Iron plugged in?
Temperature Dial set too low?
Auto-Off activated?

Make sure the plug is in the socket. Turn Temperature Dial higher. Move Steam Iron or gently shake.

This is normal

The Temperature Indicator Light will turn from ON to OFF intermittently, indicating that the selected temperature is being maintained.
