The illustrations used in these instructions may differ slightly from the actual unit supplied.

FEATURES

1 Steam Generator Base unit

The base unit is large and should

always be positioned on a stable

work surface.

2 Water tank with Anti-Calc system

This water tank incorporates an anti-

calc cartridge which removes

limescale deposits and prolongs

the life of your iron. This is situated

inside the water tank.

3 Maximum water level indicator

Water should only be added up to

the ‘MAX’ level indication

(maximum water capacity: 1litre).

4 Water inlet

The water tank can be removed and

filled at the sink. Do not exceed the

MAX level marking.

5 Stainless steel soleplate

This durable soleplate transfers

heat evenly during ironing to

produce professional results.

6 Steam button

Press and hold this button to

produce a continuous burst of

steam to remove stubborn creases.

The steam button will also work

when the iron is held vertically.

This is ideal for removing creases

and wrinkles from delicate fabrics

or difficult to iron items, such as

curtains.

7 Temperature settings display

The selected temperature light will

flash when iron is heating. When

the iron has reached the desired

temperature, the light will stop

flashing and light continuously.

The temperature indicator lights will

flash on and off during ironing as

the iron maintains the soleplate

temperature.

8 Temperature / Standby select

button

To set the soleplate temperature,

press the temperature select button

to cycle through the four

temperature settings.

9Steam / Power pipe

The steam / power pipe feeds

steam and power from the base

unit into the iron.

10 Control panel

This panel allows you to set the

desired amount of steam. The

display clearly indicates when the

filter cartridge is fitted correctly and

when it needs to be changed.

11 Iron rest

The iron rest provides a stable rest

for the iron. The heat-resistant

rubber fins hold the iron securely in

place and protect the soleplate.

THE CONTROL PANEL

1 Remove all packaging materials

including any soleplate

protection, taking care not to

damage the soleplate or hot

water pipe. Position the steam

generator iron horizontally on

your ironing board (if large

enough) or on a heat resistant,

secure surface at the same

height as your ironing board.

Never position the steam

generator on an unstable

surface.

NOTE:

Before connecting to the

mains supply, ensure that

the supply voltage is the

same as the one indicated

on the underside of this

appliance.

2 Unwind and straighten the power

cord and hot water pipe.

3 Remove the water tank, by

pressing the release button

located on the underside of the

tank. (Fig 1).

4 Remove the anti-calc cartridge by

lifting from the tank. (Fig 2).

5 Fill with cold tap water and

empty. This will rinse out any

foreign particles which may

remain from the manufacturing

process.

6 Refill the water tank with cold

water before replacing the anti-

calc filter.

7 Insert the tank into the base unit,

ensuring that it latches securely

into place.

8 Connect the plug to the mains

supply and turn the power on.

BEFORE USE

First time use

1 When the iron is connected to the

mains supply and the power ON/

OFF button is pressed you will

hear a single beep.

2 The heat indicator on the control

panel will light to show that the

steam generator is preheating.

3 The minimum (LOW) steam

setting is selected by default.

Select the highest setting (HIGH).

4 Press the temperature / standby

select button on the iron handle

to set the soleplate temperature

to its maximum setting.

The iron will now start to heat up

and the temperature indicator

light on the handle will flash.

When the iron has reached the

desired temperature, the light will

stop flashing and light

continuously. The iron is now

ready to use.

The temperature indicator lights

will flash on and off during

ironing as the iron maintains the

soleplate temperature.

If the iron is not up to full

temperature before you use it,

water will leak through the

soleplate. If this happens, stop

using the iron until the

temperature indicator light stops

flashing to indicate that the iron is

up to temperature again.

5 Press the steam button for 30

seconds to clean the steam

generating system.

NOTE:

You will hear a repeated

buzzing sound as the pump is

primed ready for use. The

noise will subside after a

short time. This is NOT a

fault.

6 Iron an old towel to ensure that

any residues inside the iron are

not transferred to your good

laundry.

If you find it necessary to clean

the soleplate, allow the iron to

completely cool down then wipe

over it with a slightly damp cloth.

WARNING!

During use the hot water

pipe and iron rest become

very hot, avoid contact,

especially if you have

sensitive skin.

USING YOUR IRON

Steam ironing

IMPORTANT

Ensure that the soleplate has reached the correct operating

temperature before steam ironing garments. Too low a temperature

will result in water dripping from the soleplate.

NOTE:

For correct steam operation, always ensure that the iron temperature is

set to the two dot (••), three dot setting (•••) or maximum heat setting

1 Ensure that the water reservoir has been filled.

2 Press the temperature / standby select button on the iron handle to set the

soleplate to the desired temperature. The iron will now start to heat up and

the temperature indicator light on the handle will flash. When the iron has

reached the desired temperature, the light will stop flashing and light

continuously. The iron is now ready to use.

3 Set the desired amount of steam (see page 8). Use the HIGH steam setting

when ironing thicker fabrics, such as denim or linen on the three dot setting

(•••) or maximum heat setting .

Use the LOW steam setting when ironing more delicate fabrics on the two

dot setting (••).

NOTE:

Steam should never be used on fabrics like nylon, acrylic and

synthetics.

4 When the iron is on the garment, press the steam button for a couple of

seconds. It is not necessary to hold the button down continuously, as steam

will still be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the button has

been released.

If more steam is required, press and hold the steam button.

Always release the button and allow any residual steam to be released

before replacing the iron on its stand.

USING YOUR IRON

Dry ironing

You may see this ‘Do not

steam’ symbol on certain

delicate fabrics.

If you intend to dry iron fabrics,

there is no need to fill the water

tank. However, if water is already

in the water tank, you do not need

to empty it.

1 Press the temperature / standby

select button to set the soleplate

to the desired temperature.

2 Press the steam level selector

button until the MAX, MED and

LOW steam indicators are all off.

3 Iron your clothes as usual.

USING YOUR IRON

Auto Off function

If the steam button is not pressed for

more than 20 minutes, you will hear

two beeps. The iron then enters

‘sleep’ mode, whereby the iron and

the lights are switched off.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the

iron and the lights on again.

WARNING!

ALWAYS turn the iron off

and disconnect from the

power source after use.

NEVER leave the iron

unattended with the Auto Off

function in operation.

Anti-calc system

The anti-calc cartridge should be

replaced when the ‘change cartridge’

indicator illuminates. If a new

cartridge is not immediately available,

you may continue ironing, using

distilled water in place of tap water.

IMPORTANT

When the anti-calc

cartridge is exhausted, do

NOT continue to use the iron

with tap water as this may

damage the iron.

NEVER attempt to use the

iron without the anti-calc

cartridge in place.

Replacing the anti-calc

cartridge

1 Switch off and unplug the steam

generator at the mains supply.

2 Remove the water tank, by

pressing the release button

located on the underside of the

tank. (Fig 1).

NOTE:

The cartridge will contain a

small amount of water. Keep

the cartridge tilted upwards to

minimise dripping from the

connecting tube.

3 Lift the anti-calc cartridge from

the water tank and dispose in

the household waste (Fig 2).

Fig 2

USING YOUR IRON

4 It is recommend that you empty

and refill the water tank with cold

water at this point. Do not fill the

water tank above the ‘MAX’ mark.

top of the water tank. Push the

cartridge down, ensuring the

water-outlet rests in the recess

on the water tank.

6 Insert the tank into the base unit,

ensuring that it latches securely

into place.

1 Switch off and unplug the steam

generator at the mains supply.

2 Whilst pressing and holding the

Power on/off button and the

Steam level selector, plug the

steam generator back into the

mains supply.
