If your appliance is supplied with a nonrewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating). If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you. If you need to remove the plug – disconnect it from the mains – then cut it off of the mains lead and immediately dispose of it in a safe manner. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of an electric shock.

Ironing tips:

Before each use, check the care label on the fabric to be ironed to ensure the correct temperature setting is selected.
Always start on a low heating setting and gradually work your way up to a higher one where it is needed; it takes less time for the iron to heat up than it does to cool down.
When ironing a garment made from multiple fibre types, use the lowest heat setting if possible.
Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in only one direction with light pressure applied.
• plways keep the iron moving to avoid overheating the fabrics.
pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set to a steam position, preferably High. Use a dry cloth as a mat when steam-ironing wool. Take care not to steam-iron woollen items for too long, as this may damage the fabric.
To prevent staining, do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.
It is advised that the steam function is used for short bursts rather than prolonged periods of time, as this prevents water from dripping from the steam holes, minimizing the need to refill the water tank.

Cleaning & Care
NOTE: Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the mains power supply and allow it to cool for approximately 30 minutes.

Once cooled, drain the remaining water from the water tank to prevent it leaking during cleaning.
Wipe the casing of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
To remove any build-up around the steam holes on the soleplate, use a cotton wool tip dampened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated spirits with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning agents.

Anti-calc:

The anti-calc function filters certain minerals from the water to prevent lime-scale residue from building up inside the steam compartment. However if you live in a particularly hard water area, we recommend using bottled or distilled water.

WARNING: never pour vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank.
