homelife 750w Travel Iron

Product Information

The product is an iron with a steam button feature. It has a water tank that needs to be filled before using the steam button. The steam feature can only be used when ironing on high temperature settings. The iron can also be used as a dry iron, even if there is water in the water tank. It is recommended to use distilled orde-ionized water in hard water areas for optimal performance. The iron has an adjustable thermostat control dial for selecting the suitable temperature setting based on the fabric being ironed.

Product Usage Instructions

Before using the steam button, ensure that there is water in the tank.
To use the steam button, lift the iron horizontally, and press the steam button. Press the button a few times after filling the tank to activate the pump.
Note: The steam feature can only be used when ironing on high temperature settings.
If using the iron as a dry iron, stand it on the heel rest and plug the power cord into a suitable mains supply.
Turn the adjustable thermostat control dial anti-clockwise fully to ‘MIN’.
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.
Avoid ironing over zippers, buttons, and rivets on jeans. Iron around these types of features instead.
If you live in a hard water area, it is recommended to use distilled or de-ionized water for optimal performance.
Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the iron yourself.
Do not wrap the cord around the base of the iron or the heel rest during storage, as this may damage the cord.
Before storing the iron, ensure it has completely cooled down and the water tank is empty.
Do not wrap the power cord around the base of the iron during storage.
Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position according to the fabric indications provided.
Clean the exterior surface of the appliance and the soleplate with a clean damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit while using the iron.
If an extension cord is necessary, use a 13A cord. Position the cord in a way that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

BEFORE FIRST USE

BEFORE using the iron for the first time, CHECK if the voltage switch on the base plate corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.
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 time the smoking will STOP.
REMOVE any removable iron.
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.

SORT the garments according to the TYPE of fabric before ironing.
START your ironing with the fabrics that require the LOWEST heat setting.
If you are UNSURE of the fabric content of a garment, TEST a small area (a seam or inside hem) BEFORE ironing.
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.
