Carlton C180IR09 Instruction Manual

To descale your Carlton C180IR09 Iron, fill the water tank with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Heat the iron to its maximum temperature, then press the steam button until the tank is empty. Refill with clean water and repeat to ensure all vinegar is removed.
If your iron is not heating up, ensure it is plugged in and the power outlet is functioning. Check if the temperature control is set correctly. If the problem persists, the heating element might be faulty, and professional servicing is recommended.
To prevent water leakage, avoid overfilling the water tank and ensure the iron is not left on its soleplate when not in use. Always allow the iron to reach the set temperature before using the steam function.
To clean the soleplate, allow the iron to cool completely, then wipe it with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. Never use metal objects to clean the soleplate.
Store your iron in an upright position on a stable surface. Ensure the water tank is empty and the cord is neatly wrapped. Avoid storing in humid environments to prevent rust.
A clicking noise can occur due to the thermostat adjusting the temperature. This is normal. If the noise is unusually loud or persistent, it may indicate a mechanical issue, and a professional check-up is advised.
To improve steam output, ensure the water tank is filled with clean water and that the steam setting is appropriately adjusted. Regular descaling may also help maintain optimal steam performance.
If your iron leaves marks, check the soleplate for residues and clean it if necessary. Ensure the temperature setting matches the fabric type. Pre-test on a small area of the fabric if unsure.
To use the self-clean function, fill the water tank, heat the iron to maximum, and unplug it. Hold over a sink and activate the self-clean button. Move the iron gently until all water is expelled.
While tap water can be used, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup and prolong the iron's lifespan. If using tap water, ensure regular descaling.
