CAUTION: Hot Surface

• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the mains supply.
• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
• The iron must be used and rested on a flat, stable surface.

• Do not wrap the cord around the iron.

WARNING

• Burns can occur from touching the hot metal parts, hot water or steam.
• Caution should be advised when turning the iron upside down as there may be hot water in the water reservoir.
• Push steam button a few times and lightly shake iron after use to ensure all water is drained from reservoir.
• Allow to cool before storing.

Location Of Control

• A- Pilot Lamp
  The light illuminates to indicate that the heating element is warming up to the temperature setting required. Once the correct temperature is reached, the pilot lamp will turn off.

• B- Adjustable thermostat control dial
  Adjusting the dial allows users to set the temperature to particular settings dependant upon the types of fabrics being ironed.

• C- Stainless Steel soleplate
  Pressing the soleplate onto fabrics will iron out creases once the iron has heated up. This iron has a stainless steel soleplate, which is easy to clean and prevents clothing from sticking to the soleplate under high temperatures.

• D-Power cord
  Connect the power cord to a suitable 220-240v-50Hz mains socket to operate the iron.

• E-Handle
  Gripping the handle allows users to have greater stability and control over the iron during use.

• F – Heel rest
  Standing the iron vertically on the heel rest allows users to set the iron aside safely.

• G-Water Spout
  Pouring water through the water spout will fill up the water tank. Do not fill past the ‘Max’ mark.

• H-Spray Button
  Pressing the spray button will cause a small jet of water to spray from the nozzle.

• I-Spray Nozzle
  This is where the jet of water ejects from the iron when the spray button is pressed.

• J -Adjustable Steam Rate Control
  Adjusting this controls the amount of steam released when the steam button is pressed. A higher seting will cause a large amount of steam to release from the iron whereas lower settings will cause a small, more concentrated release of steam.

OPERATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. BEFORE using the iron for the first time, CHECK if the voltage rating on the base plate corresponds to  the mains voltage in your home.
2. REMOVE any removable labels or slickers on the iron.
3. Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased during production and as a result the iron may smoke slightly during first use. This is perfectly NORMAL and after a short amount of lime the smoking will STOP.
4. Normal tap water can usually be used for ironing. However, if you live in a hard water area, it is recommended that distilled or de-ionised water is used to ensure optimum performance of this product.

WARNING
The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the mains supply.

IRONING TIPS
Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam of the garment. These instructions should be followed at all times.

1. SORT the garments according to the TYPE of fabric before ironing.
2. START your ironing with the fabrics that require the LOWEST heat setting.
3. If you are UNSURE of the fabric content of a garment, TEST a small area (a seam or inside hem) BEFORE ironing.
4. When in doubt, START with a low heat. If the wrinkles remain, GRADUALLY INCREASE the heat to find the best heat setting for good results without damaging the fabric.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. ENSURE that the steam button is set to ‘OFF’ when filling the water tank.
2. OPEN the cover to REVEAL the water spout and CAREFULLY POUR water into the spout.
3. FILL the water tank to the ‘MAX’ mark.
4. CLOSE the water spout cover to stop any spillages during use.

DO NOT
Do Not overfill past the ‘Max’ mark.
Note: remove the power cord from the mains supply before filling the water tank.

USING AS A STEAM IRON

1. ENSURE the power cord is UNPLUGGED from the mains supply before filling the water tank.
2. STAND the iron on the heel rest.
3. TURN the adjustable thermostat control dial ANTI-CLOCKWISE FULLY to the ‘OFF’ position.
4. FILL the water tank to the ‘MAX’ mark. DO NOT OVERFILL past the ‘MAX’ mark.
5. PLUG the power cord into a suitable mains power supply.
6. Based on the type of fabric being ironed, ADJUST the control dial CLOCKWISE to the suitable temperature setting and ALLOW the iron a few minutes to warm up.
7. After a while, the pilot lamp will turn OFF, indicating that the correct temperature for the chosen setting has been reached. At this point, ironing of garments CAN BEGIN.
8. Use the adjustable steam rate control to INCREASE or DECREASE the volume of steam produced when the steam button is pressed.

Note: the pilot lamp will intermittently switch on/off to indicate that the thermostatic heating control is operational.
Note: The steam feature can only be used when ironing on high temperature settings.

DRY IRON
The iron can be used as a dry iron, even if there is water in the water tank.

DO NOT
Do not put water in the water tank if the iron is only being used as a dry iron for many hours at a time.

1. STAND the iron on the heel rest and PLUG the power cord into a suitable mains supply.
2. TURN the adjustable thermostat control dial ANTI-CLOCKWISE fully to ‘OFF’.
3. Based on the type of fabric being ironed, ADJUST the control dial CLOCKWISE to the suitable temperature setting and allow the iron a few minutes to warm up.
4. After a while, the pilot lamp will turn OFF, indicating that the correct temperature for the chosen setting has been reached. At this point, ironing of garments CAN BEGIN.

STEAM BURST BUTTON
Be sure there is water in the tank and the Temperature Control Dial is on steam.

1. Using the iron Horizontally. Lift the iron and press the steam burst button. You may need to press the button a few times after filling to activate the pump. The burst steam facility can be used only when ironing with high ironing temperatures.
2. Using the iron Vertically. The burst function can also be used when the iron is held in the vertical position to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc.

SPRAY BUTTON
Pressing the spray button will cause a small jet of water to spray from the nozzle, providing there is water within the tank. You may need to press the button repeatedly to begin with to activate the pump.

CARE AND USE

1. AVOID ironing over zippers, buttons and rivets on jeans etc. as they will SCRATCH the soleplate. IRON AROUND these types of features instead.
2. Depending upon geographical location, water content can vary widely, as can the mineral content within water. If you live in a HARD WATER AREA, it is RECOMMENDED that DISTILLED or DE­IONISED water is used to ensure optimum performance of this product.

DO NOT
Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the iron yourself.

DO NOT
Do not wrap the cord around the base of the iron or the heel rest during storage, as this type of manipulation may damage the cord.

TO EMPTY AND STORE

1. ENSURE the iron is UNPLUGGED before attempting to empty the water tank.
2. TURN the iron upside down and POUR any remaining water out of iron via the water spout.
3. After emptying the water tank, STAND the hot iron in an UPRIGHT position on the heel rest so that any remaining moisture will evaporate quickly.
4. LEAVE the iron to COOL COMPLETELY before putting it away into storage.
   Note: caution should be advised when turning the iron upside down as there may be hot water in the water reservoir.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Turn your temperature control dial to the position you desire according to the following fabric indications:

• Synthetics
• Silk/Wool
• Linen/Cotton

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit at the same time as using the iron.
