Before using for the first time

Warning: Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before using your iron.
Before connecting your iron to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on your iron.
When you first use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the first few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear

Cleaning your iron before use

Follow these simple steps to remove any impurities or residues inside your steam iron that may be left over from the manufacturing process.

1. Follow the instructions under filling your iron and fill the water tank as described.
2. Empty the water tank to rinse out any foreign particles then refill it.
3. Follow the instructions under steam ironing. Set the temperature to the MAX setting and the steam control to the high steam setting.
4. Iron an old piece of cloth (cotton or towelling is ideal) for a few minutes. While ironing, press the steam button 4 or 5 times.
5. Any impurities will be flushed from your iron by the steam and absorbed by the cloth. Your iron is now ready for use.

Filling your iron

Never add fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals to the water in your iron.

1. Ensure your iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
2. Set the steam control r to the off position (0).
3. Open the water tank inlet cover e.
4. Using a jug, fill the water tank with ordinary tap water. To avoid air locks, tilt your iron slightly while filling it.
5. Don’t fill the iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water level by standing the iron on its heel.
6. When the iron is filled, close the water tank inlet cover.

We recommend that you

• Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g. synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and steam—such as cotton and linen.
• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres set the temperature of your iron to the most delicate fibre.
• Never use the burst of steam button on silks or synthetics.
• When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the soleplate cleaned more frequently.
• Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs or zippers as they will scratch the soleplate of your iron.

Temperature settings

Your iron takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the temperature setting on your iron, you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.
This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It takes your iron longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the reason we recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.
If you do need to reduce the temperature of your iron, wait until the temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again before ironing. This will ensure that your iron has reached the lower temperature and is not too hot for the fabric being ironed. For example, you have been ironing using the  **** setting and want to change to the setting:

1. Move the temperature control dial to the setting. Initially, the temperature indicator light will not be lit because your iron is still at a higher temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on then goes out again. Your iron has now cooled to the correct temperature.

Ironing without steam

If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to fill the water tank. However, if water is already in the water tank, you don’t need to empty it.

1. Set the steam control r to the no steam position (0).
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Rotate the temperature control until the desired setting is aligned with the dial pointer.
4. The temperature indicator light i will come on, indicating that the iron is heating up. When the light turns off, the set temperature has been reached and your iron is ready to use.

Steam ironing

**** During steam ironing, if you do not allow your iron to reach the selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate.

It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.

1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Set the temperature control 9 to the ****setting. The hotter your iron, the more steam is generated.
4. The temperature indicator light 8 will come on, indicating that the iron is heating up. When the temperature indicator light turns off, the set temperature has been reached and your iron is ready to use. The temperature indicator light will turn on and off during ironing as your iron maintains the correct temperature.
5. Adjust the steam control 4 to select the desired steam output.
6. Move the steam control to the high steam  ****setting to increase the amount of steam, or towards the off (0) setting to decrease the amount of steam.
7. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the off (0) position.

Using the shot of steam

The temperature control dial must be set within the and ****setting. Wait several seconds between each press of the steam button.
Press the shot of steam button 6 whenever you have a stubborn crease that needs extra steam. Steam will burst from the holes in the soleplate of your iron into the fabric.

Vertical steam ironing

Never iron garments when they are being worn.

1. Prepare your iron as for steam ironing.
2. Hold your iron 15cm from the fabric.
3. Press the shot of steam button 6 as required. Wait several seconds between each press of the button.

Spraying

The water spray can be used to help iron heavy fabrics or difficult areas (collars, pockets, sleeves, creases, etc). It can also be used when ironing delicate fabrics which cannot be steam ironed.
Make sure there is water in the tank. Press the spray button 5 to produce a spray of water.

Anti-drip feature

When the temperature of your iron is insufficient to create steam, the supply of water is cut off automatically to avoid any drips from the s

Anti-scale filter

Your iron is fitted with a permanent anti-scale filter. This filter is fixed and cannot be removed for cleaning.
The filter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale inside your iron. Limescale occurs during steam ironing due to water hardness.
Water hardness varies from one area to another. The effectiveness of the filter will depend on how ‘hard’ you

Care & cleaning

Warning: Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of your iron. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
Allow your iron to completely cool down and wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while your iron is still hot. Wipe over the rest of your iron with a soft damp cloth then wipe dry.

Self-cleaning

Only press the self-clean slider when you want to activate the self cleaning system. Never press the self-clean dial when ironing. The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be used more frequently.

1. Ensure your iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.

2. Set the steam control 4 to the no steam position.

3. Fill your iron with water to the MAX level.

4. Stand your iron on its heel rest, plug in and switch on at the mains supply.

5. Set the temperature control 9 to the highest (MAX) setting. Allow your iron to heat up until the temperature indicator light 8 turns off.

6. Unplug your iron and hold it over a sink with the soleplate facing downwards.
   **Warning:** Be careful not to touch the iron’s hot surfaces.

7. Push and hold the steam control slider to the self-clean position 4. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate along with any impurities.

8. Slowly rock the iron side-to-side and front to back for 30 seconds. When rocking the iron, dip the nose of the iron slightly below the rear to make certain the water circulates completely.

9. Release the self-clean slider after 30 seconds and pour out the remaining water out of the fill hole.

10. Rest the iron soleplate horizontally on an old piece of cloth (cotton or to welling is ideal) to dry.

11. ]Plug in the iron and turn the temperature control to the ****setting.

12. When the temperate indicator light turns off, iron an old piece of cloth to allow any remaining water to escape.

13. Stand your iron on its heel rest and let the iron heat for two minutes to ensure that the iron is dried out completely.

14. After use, switch off and unplug your iron from the mains supply and allow it to fully cool before storing.

Cleaning the steam holes

To remove any build-up in or around the steam holes which may affect steam performance, use a cotton wool tip moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated spirits with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate.

Cleaning the exterior of your iron

To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.

Storing

Warning: Allow your iron to completely cool before storing. Always store your iron on its heel rest. Do not store your iron resting on its soleplate.
The SAFE-STORE™ heat indicator shows you when the soleplate of your iron has cooled sufficiently for it to be safe to store. If the strip is red, your iron is too hot. When the words SAFE-STORE appear on the strip against a solid black background, the soleplate is at a safe temperature for storing.
Never wrap the power cord around the soleplate. The cord can be neatly wrapped around the heel of your iron.
