Instructions for Use
Before First Use
STEP 1: Switch off and unplug the iron from the main power supply.
STEP 2: Wipe the exterior surface of the iron with a soft, damp cloth and
dry thoroughly.
STEP 3: To remove any impurities that may have occurred during the
manufacturing process, it is best to use the iron on an old piece of cloth,
making sure that it is on the highest temperature setting suitable for the
material. Plug In and switch on the iron at the mains power supply, place the
iron onto the cloth and then push the steam burst button 2-3 times, waiting
approx. 5 seconds in-between each burst; this will remove any Impurities from
the ceramic soleplate. Do not immerse the Iron in water or any other liquid.
NOTE: When using the iron for the first time, a slight odour and a small
amount of smoke may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow
for sufficient ventilation around the iron when it is in use.
Filling the Water Tank
STEP 1: Switch off and unplug the iron from the main power supply.
STEP 2: Check that the steam control switch is in the off position
(centre).
STEP 3: Open the water tank cap.
STEP 4: Fill the measuring jug with water, without exceeding the max.
fill mark. Carefully pour the contents of the measuring jug into the water
tank.
STEP 5: Close the water tank cap.
CAUTION: Do not fill the water tank past the max. fill mark; it is best
to check the water level when the iron is positioned upright. Do not fill the
water tank when the iron is switched on.
WARNING: Never add descaling, aromatic, alcoholic, or detergent products
to the water tank, as this could cause damage to the iron or injury to the
user.
Using the 2 in-1 Cordless Iron
Using as a Cordless Iron
STEP 1: Check that the iron is switched off and unplugged from the main
power supply.
STEP 2: Move the locking switch right to the cordless position. This will
unlock the iron from the iron base.
STEP 3: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply; the
power indicator light will illuminate blue to indicate the power unit is on.
This does not indicate that the iron is heating up.
STEP 4: Rotate the temperature control dial to the desired temperature
(1-dot position minimum). The temperature indicator light will illuminate red
to signal that the iron is heating up.
STEP 5: When the temperature indicator light switches off after approx.
25 seconds, remove the iron from the iron base and use it as a cordless iron.
STEP 6: Put the iron back onto the iron base to recharge. This will need
to be done regularly in order for the iron to maintain heat. Recharge time is
approx. 5 seconds.
NOTE: The iron will only heat up when the temperature control dial is at
a minimum of the 1-dot setting.
Using as a Corded Iron
STEP 1: Check that the iron is switched off and unplugged from the main
power supply.
STEP 2: When the iron is on the Iron base, move the locking switch to the
‘locked’ position. This will lock the power unit to the iron.
STEP 3: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply.
STEP 4: Rotate the temperature control dial to the desired temperature
(1-dot position minimum).
NOTE: When the iron is not in use, keep the locking switch in the
‘locked’ position. This is ideal for storage.
Ironing with Steam
The steam settings are ideal for removing creases from fabrics such as cotton
and linen with ease.
STEP 1: Fill the water tank following the instructions in the section
entitled ‘Filling the Water Tank’.
STEP 2: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply.
STEP 3: To increase the temperature of the iron, rotate the temperature
control dial in a clockwise direction until the desired heat setting is
reached. Reduce the temperature by rotating the temperature control dial in an
anticlockwise direction. The temperature indicator light will illuminate red
to signal that the iron is heating up; this will switch off once the iron is
ready to use. The iron will only produce steam when the temperature control
dial is set to the 3-dot heat setting.
STEP 4: Select the desired steam setting by sliding the steam control
switch to the right. The first click is the lowest steam setting whilst the
last click delivers the highest steam setting. The steam setting can be
switched off at any time by sliding the steam control switch to the off
position.
STEP 5: After use, rotate the temperature control dial to the ‘Off’
position. Switch off and unplug the iron from the mains power supply and allow
it to cool thoroughly.
NOTE: Allow the iron to reach the desired heat setting before use; not
doing so may cause water to drip from the ceramic soleplate. The temperature
control dial needs to be at the 1-dot setting in order for the iron to heat
up. The temperature indicator light will illuminate whilst the iron is heating
up but not when it is cooling down; it should not be misinterpreted as a
ready-to-use indicator light. The temperature indicator light will cycle on
and off during use to regulate the temperature.
WARNING: Never leave the iron’s ceramic soleplate resting on the fabric
for any longer than 15 seconds. If ironing with steam for prolonged periods of
time, it is advisable to use the iron as a corded unit.
Ironing without Steam
For removing creases from more sensitive fabrics, try ironing without steam.
STEP 1: Move the steam control switch to the off position.
STEP 2: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply.
STEP 3: To increase the temperature of the iron, rotate the temperature
control dial in a clockwise direction until the desired heat setting is
selected. Reduce the temperature by rotating the temperature control dial in
an anticlockwise direction. The temperature indicator light will illuminate
red to indicate that the iron is heating up; this will switch off once the
iron is ready to use.
STEP 4: Test the iron on a small area of the fabric to check that the
selected temperature is suitable; adjust if necessary.
STEP 5: After use, rotate the temperature control dial to the ‘Off’
position. Switch off and unplug the iron from the mains power supply and allow
it to cool thoroughly.
Steam Burst Function For creases that are stubborn and difficult to remove,
use the steam control trigger to select the desired steam setting; if
necessary, press the steam burst button for extra steam. Wait approx. 5
seconds in-between each burst to prevent any water from leaking out from the
steam holes.
NOTE : The iron will only produce steam when the temperature control dial
is set to the 3-dot heat setting.
Vertical Steam Ironing The steam burst button can also be used to vertically
steam curtains and other hanging garments.
STEP 1: Hang up the item to be vertically steamed.
STEP 2: Slide the steam control switch to the ‘Off’ position.
STEP 3: Fill the water tank following the instructions in the section
entitled ‘Filling the Water Tank’.
STEP 4: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply.
STEP 5: Rotate the temperature control dial until the 3-dot heat setting
is selected; the higher the temperature, the more powerful the steam.
STEP 6: Hold the iron approx. 15 cm away from the item and press the
steam burst button to remove any creases, waiting approx. 5 seconds in-between
each burst.
Water Spray Function
The water spray function can be used to help to remove stubborn creases on
heavier fabrics. It can also be used when dry ironing delicate fabrics that
cannot be steam ironed. To use the water spray function, hold the iron over
the area to be ironed and then press the water spray button.
NOTE: The water spray function will not work if the water tank is empty.
When using the water spray function for the first time, it may be necessary to
press the water spray button several times.
Anti-drip Feature The iron has an anti-drip feature to prevent water from
leaking out from the steam holes when the temperature is not high enough to
generate steam. This is an automatic feature that is permanently activated.
Anti-calcium Feature The iron has a built-in resin anti-calcium filter located
in the water tank to prevent calcium and limescale build-up. Calcium build-up,
which is prominent in areas with hard water, can hinder performance and lower
the lifespan of the iron. This is an automatic feature that is permanently
activated.
NOTE: The filter is built in and does not need replacing.
Self-clean Function The self-clean function removes limescale and impurities
from within the ceramic soleplate. It is recommended to use this function on a
fortnightly basis or more often if the iron is used in a hard water area.
STEP 1: Switch off and unplug the iron from the main power supply.
STEP 2: Slide the steam control switch to the off position.
STEP 3: Fill the water tank following the instructions in the section
entitled ‘Filling the Water Tank’.
STEP 4: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply.
STEP 5: Set the temperature control dial to the highest heat setting and
allow the iron to heat up until the temperature indicator light switches off.
STEP 6: Switch off and unplug the iron from the main power supply.
STEP 7: Remove the iron from the iron base and carefully hold it over a
sink, making sure that the power supply cord and plug are kept away from the
ceramic soleplate.
STEP 8: Slide and hold the self-clean switch to the self-clean position.
Hot water and steam will expel from the steam holes along with any impurities.
STEP 9: After approx. 1 minute or when the water tank is completely
empty, release the self-clean switch.
STEP 10: Place the iron onto the iron base, slide the locking switch to
the left to lock the iron in position, and allow it to cool thoroughly. Make
sure the iron base is still unplugged from the main power supply.
STEP 11: When the iron has sufficiently cooled, wipe it with a soft, damp
cloth.
STEP 12: Plug in and switch on the iron at the mains power supply.
STEP 13: Set the temperature control dial to the highest heat setting.
STEP 14: Once the temperature indicator light has switched off, use the
iron on an old piece of fabric to remove any excess water and impurity build-
up from the steam holes.
NOTE: Water may be ejected from the steam holes whilst the iron is
heating up. For best results, carry out the self-clean process immediately
after unplugging the iron from the main power supply.
CAUTION: Never slide the steam control switch to the self-clean position
when using the iron; only use it when the iron is switched off and unplugged
from the mains power supply and is safely held over a sink.
Hints and Tips
Always start ironing on a low heat setting and work up to a higher one, if
necessary; it takes less time for the iron to heat up than it does to cool
down. The temperature of the iron is the hottest when it has initially heated
up and will therefore need time to stabilize. Once the iron has heated up,
allow the temperature indicator light to cycle off and on again before using
the iron.
Storage
Check that the iron is cool and dry and that the water tank is empty before
storing it in a cool, dry place. Wrap the cord loosely around the iron; never
wrap it tightly as this could cause damage.
