Anti-Drip This iron is designed to reduce dripping and spitting while in use. Steam is automatically disabled when the soleplate temperature is too low to create steam, preventing spitting or dripping. The Anti-Drip system may make a loud clicking sound during use. This is normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly. Anti-Scale System The built-in Anti-Scale cartridge is designed to reduce the buildup of mineral substances in the water which occurs during steam ironing, thereby extending the life of your SINGER Classic Finish Iron. However, please note that the anti-scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural process of lime scale buildup. Cleaning and storage Self-Cleaning This feature removes loose minerals and other impurities that have been built up in the steam chamber. It is recommended that this function be performed at least once a month or more regularly depending on the hardness of the water used. WARNING: THE SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION WILL CAUSE HOT STEAM AND WATER TO BE EJECTED FROM THE SOLEPLATE. TAKE ALL PROPER PRECAUTIONS AND HOLD IRON AWAY FROM BODY. STEAM AND WATER are VERY HOT AND CAN CAUSE BURNS. • Fill the water tank as described in "Filling the Water Tank" section. • Plug the iron into a grounded electrical outlet. The iron will begin to heat. • Select the MAX temperature setting by turning the Temperature Control Dial clockwise. • When the selected temperature is reached, the Temperature Indicator light will turn off. The iron is ready to use. • Unplug the iron. • Hold the iron horizontally over a sink with the soleplate pointing away from the body and press and hold the Self-Clean Button. Steam and hot water will drain from from the soleplate holes, washing away the scales and minerals that have built up inside the steam chamber. 10 • Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty. • When self-cleaning is complete, release the Self-Clean Button. • Place iron on its heel and let it cool completely. • Carefully wipe all water from the soleplate with an old towel, as the water and minerals may leave stains. NOTE: Before using the iron after self-cleaning, test the steam and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth that can be discarded. Self-Clean Button Emptying and Storing • Move the Variable Steam Control Dial to position. • Unplug the iron. • Place the iron on its heel and allow to cool completely. • Empty water from the iron before storing. • To protect the soleplate, store the iron on its heel. Cleaning the Soleplate In normal use, a coating may build up on the soleplate from starch, detergent or burnt synthetic fibers. This can be easily removed by using a quality iron soleplate cleaner. When the iron is cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. NOTE: Never use abrasive household cleaners or other chemical agents to clean the iron. Never use sharp or rough objects to remove deposits on the soleplate. 11
