Anti-drip System
The iron comprises an anti-drip system to prevent water from dripping on the clothes during
steam ironing, should the temperature of the soleplate be too low. The anti-drip system may
emit a loud ’click’, particularly when the iron is heating up and cooling down. This is quite
normal and does not mean that the iron is defective. If this ‘click’ is heard during ironing
it indicates that the amount of steam is too important for the chosen temperature. Either
reduce the amount of steam or increase the temperature.
If, contrary to expectation, some water drops should occur, this does not mean that the iron
is defective, but it can indicate that the water tank is about to being empty or that the iron
needs to be descaled.
Safety Stop Function (only valid for OBH Nordica 2108)
The iron comprises a safety stop function that automatically switches off the iron if you e.g.
forget to switch it off after use. This function switches off the iron if placed in a vertical position
on its heel and has not been moved for about 8 minutes. If the iron is placed on the soleplate
(i.e. in a horizontal position) and has not been moved for 30 seconds, the iron is automatically
switched off.
The safety stop light on the grip of the iron will start flashing, if the safety stop function
is activated. When you lift the iron, the safety stop light goes out automatically and the
thermostat light will flash to indicate that the iron is heating up. When the iron has been
heated up, you can start ironing again.
After use
When the ironing is done, put the steam selector in position “0”. Disconnect from the mains
supply and empty the water tank by opening up to the filling inlet and turn the iron upside
down over a sink to let the water run out. Reconnect the appliance and set the temperature
at “MAX” for 1 to 2 minutes to let any remaining water evaporate. Now disconnect from the
mains supply and position the iron on its heel to let the soleplate cool off.
NOTE! Always position the iron on its heel when not in use!
Even the smallest amount
of liquid in the steam chamber may damage the soleplate, if the iron is stored up with the
soleplate facing downwards. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
Descaling procedure – cleaning the steam chamber
You will obtain the best ironing quality and the iron will last longer if the self-cleansing
procedure is followed at regular intervals, such as once or twice a month, as this will remove
possible scale and ”lint” in the steam chamber and in the steam holes.
• Make sure that the plug of the iron is removed from the mains socket.
• Set the steam selector in position “0” (closed).
• Fill the water tank to the MAX water level.
• Place the iron on its heel.
• Set the temperature indicator at ••• and connect the plug in the socket and branch the
current.
• Let the steam iron heat up and wait until the thermostat light goes out and then on and
out once more.
• Unplug and keep the iron horizontally over a sink.
• Press the self-clean button and keep it pressed during the entire self-clean procedure.
The button may be a little tight – this does not mean that the iron is defective.
