The Reliable Maven 125IS is a home ironing station designed for domestic use. It features a programmed temperature system, vertical steaming capabilities, and an anti-scale cartridge system to prolong the appliance's lifespan. Always handle with care as the appliance generates high-temperature steam.
Key Features
The ironing station consists of an iron unit and a base. Key components include the function button, control panel, anti-scale cartridge, carry lock, water inlet cover, water tank, steam trigger, steam hose, soleplate, and power cord.
Before First Use
Follow these steps to prepare your appliance:
- Remove all protective films or stickers.
- Unwind and straighten the power cord.
- Immerse the new anti-scale cartridge in water for 5 minutes to ensure it is fully soaked before insertion.
- Iron an old towel first to clear any residue from the steam function.
Operating Instructions
Filling the Water Tank: Disconnect the power cord, pull out the water tank, open the inlet cover, fill with tap water to the maximum level, and ensure it is firmly positioned back in place.
Ironing: Connect to a power outlet. Press the function button to turn on the appliance. Wait until the icons on the display panel stop flashing, indicating the required temperature has been reached. Always disconnect after use.
Temperature Settings
The appliance defaults to 'Auto Mode' for all ironable fabrics. To adjust, press the function button to cycle through: Auto Mode, Dot 1, Dot 2, Dot 3, Dot 4, and Max. The ECO indicator lights up when the lowest temperature is used.
Vertical Steaming
To remove wrinkles from hanging garments or curtains:
- Select the desired steam temperature setting.
- Hold the iron in a vertical position, 15 to 30 cm away from the fabric.
- Press the steam trigger.
Warning: Never apply steam to clothes or fabrics being worn by humans or pets.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Anti-Scale Cartridge: Replace the cartridge when the indicator lights up. Ensure the new cartridge is soaked in water for 5 minutes before installation.
Self-Cleaning: When the self-clean indicator lights up, fill the tank to max, plug in, and hold the function button and steam trigger for 3 seconds. Hold the iron 15 cm above a sink to release deposits through steam holes.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not work, check if it is plugged in, wait for it to heat up, or ensure the anti-scale cartridge is installed correctly. If there is no steam, fill the water tank or select a higher temperature setting.
