LOCATION OF CONTROLS

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 setting 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 stickers on the iron.
3. Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased during production and as result the iron may smoke slightly during first use. This is perfectly NORMAL and after a short amount of time 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.

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.
