IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been supervised/instructed and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Keep the iron and cable out of reach of children under 8 years.
Sit the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably a purpose-built “steam generator” type ironing board.
Rest the iron only on the base unit.
Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in or standing on the ironing board. It could be knocked over.
Don’t use the iron if it’s dropped, damaged, malfunctions or leaks.
If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.

The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.

B Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or. outdoors.

• Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
• Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer.
• Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
• Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.
• Don’t sit the base unit on a soft, carpeted, or upholstered surface, as this may block the vents underneath the base unit.
• Keep the cables and steam pipe away from hot parts.
• Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
• Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
• The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens, the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
• Before using the iron for the first time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a scrap piece of cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
• Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it will soon stop as the manufacturing residues evaporate.

FILLING/REFILLING

You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.

1. Remove the reservoir by pulling it away from the body of the steam generator using the grip on the front of the reservoir .
2. Fill the reservoir to the max mark. Do not exceed the max mark.
3. Refit the reservoir into the base unit

PRELIMINARY SETTINGS

1. Put the iron on top of the base unit.
2. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
3. Turn the unit on by setting the on/off button to I.
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you require next to the mark. The thermostat light will flash until the iron has reached its desired temperature. Once the temperature has been reached the light will remain on.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION GUIDE

1. Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures first, then those that need medium temperatures , and finish with those needing high temperatures (or max).
3. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you require next to the mark. If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the label.
   

STEAM IRONING

1. If you intend to use steam, the temperature setting must be at lor higher.
2. Squeeze the steam button to produce steam, release it to stop.
   NOTE: When you first start your steam station and pull the trigger for steam ironing, there will be a delay as your steam station pumps water from the reservoir to prime the system. This is normal and may take 20-30 seconds. This will also happen after refilling the reservoir.

REPLACEMENT ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGES

Contact your local service agent with the model number for information on how to purchase replacement anti-scale cartridges. See the enclosed guarantee card for details.

FILTER

We recommend that you remove and clean the filter every 6 uses depending on the water hardness in your area. The warning light/reset button will flash to remind you that the filter needs cleaning. Doing this will extend the life of the unit.
To remove the filter:

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. C Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour until the soleplate is cold.
3. Remove the reservoir from the front of the unit. The filter is behind the reservoir.
4. Turn the filter anticlockwise and remove it (Fig B).
5. Rinse the filter under a tap.
6. Refit the filter and tighten it firmly.
7. Reset the reminder light.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
