before rst use

Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before heating the

iron.

Wipe over the soleplate with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit. Remove the

methylated spirit with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate thoroughly.

Fill the water tank and then empty it. This will rinse out any foreign particles remaining in

the water tank from the manufacturing process. Never ll your iron by holding it directly

under a tap. Always use the measuring cup supplied.

Before connecting your iron to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the

same as the one indicated on your iron.

When you rst use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the

rst few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.

lling your iron

Never use fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals or additives.

1. Ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.

2. Set the steam control to the no steam position (0).

3. Place the iron on its heel on a at, stable, dry, heat resistant and level surface and

open the water tank inlet cover.

4. Fill the water tank with ordinary tap water. To avoid air locks, tilt the iron slightly while

lling it.

5. Don’t ll the iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water level

by standing the iron on its heel.

6. When the iron is lled close the water tank inlet cover.

MAX

using your iron

We recommend that you:

• Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g.

synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and

steam—such as cotton and linen.

• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of bres set the temperature of your iron to the

most delicate bre.

• Never use the burst of steam button on silks or synthetics.

• When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the

soleplate cleaned more frequently.

• Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs or zippers as they will

scratch the soleplate of your iron.

Important

Your iron takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the temperature setting on

your iron, you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.

This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It takes

your iron longer to cool down than it does to heat up. This is the reason we recommend

that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.

If you do need to reduce the temperature of your iron, wait until the temperature indicator

light comes on and then goes off again before ironing. This will ensure that your iron has

reached the lower temperature and is not too hot for the fabric being ironed.

For example, you have been ironing using the lll setting and want to change to the ll

setting:

1. Move the temperature control dial to the ll setting. Initially, the temperature indicator

light will be off because your iron is still at a higher temperature.

2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again. Your iron

has now cooled to the correct temperature.

using your iron

Ironing without steam

If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to ll the water tank. However, if water is

already in the water tank, you don’t need to empty it.

1. Set the steam control to the no steam position (0) position.

2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.

3. Rotate the temperature control until the desired setting is aligned with the

temperature control index mark.

4. When the temperature indicator light goes out, your iron is ready to use.

Steam ironing

During steam ironing, if you do not allow your iron to reach the selected

temperature water may drip from the soleplate.

It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should

be used when ironing.

When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should

never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.

1. Fill your iron with water.

2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.

3. Set the temperature control so it is within the steam range (between ll and MAX).

The hotter your iron, the more steam is generated.

4. When the temperature indicator light goes out your iron is ready to use. The

temperature indicator light will turn on and off during ironing as your iron maintains

the correct temperature.

5. Adjust the steam control to select the desired steam output.

6. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the no steam

(0) position.

Burst of steam

The temperature control must be set within the ll and MAX setting. Wait several

seconds between each press of the steam button.

Press the shot of steam button whenever you have a stubborn crease that needs extra

steam. Steam will burst from the holes in the soleplate of your iron into the fabric.

using your iron

Vertical steam ironing

Never iron garments when they are being worn.

Your iron can be used for vertical steam ironing curtains, dresses on hangers etc.

1. Fill your iron with water.

2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.

3. Set the temperature control so it is within the steam range (between ll and MAX).

The hotter your iron, the more steam is generated.

4. When the temperature indicator light goes out, your iron is ready to use.

5. Hold your iron 15cm (6 inches) from the fabric.

6. Press the shot of steam button. The steam will penetrate the fabric removing the

creases. To apply more steam press the shot of steam button again.

Spraying

The spray function will only operate when there is water in the water tank.

1. The water spray can be used to help iron heavy fabrics or difcult areas (collars,

pockets, sleeves, creases, etc). It can also be used when ironing delicate fabrics

which cannot be steam ironed.

2. Simply press the button as required to produce a spray of water. If the spray is being

used for the rst time, or if the iron has been standing for some time, you may need

to press the spray button a few times before it works correctly.

Anti-drip feature

When the temperature of your iron is insufcient to create steam, the supply of water is

cut off automatically to avoid any drips from the soleplate.

Anti-scalelter

• Your iron is tted with a permanent anti-scale lter. This lter is xed and cannot be

removed for cleaning.

• The lter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale inside your iron. Limescale

occurs during steam ironing due to water hardness.

• Water hardness varies from one area to another. The effectiveness of the lter will

depend on how ‘hard’ your water is.

using your iron

Dry water tank alert

The water tank illumination will ash when the water tank needs relling.

Safety auto shut-off function

ALWAYS disconnect your iron from the mains supply socket after use. NEVER

leave the iron unattended with the Auto Shut-off function in operation.

Your iron will shut off if it has not been used for 10 minutes when resting on its heel, or

after 30 seconds if it is resting on its soleplate. The water tank illumination will ash and

your iron will sound a series of beeps. This will be repeated whilst your iron is in auto

shut-off mode. To restart your iron, gently move it until the water tank illumination stops

ashing.
