• Close the water filling inlet (2) by pressing down the cap until you hear a click. Ensure the water tank is properly closed to avoid water spillage.
• NOTE: To avoid calcium deposits that can cause staining on clothing, we recommend using distilled water to fill the water tank when using the steam function.

IMPORTANT! To avoid damage or blockage of the steam iron, do not use any scented water or additives.

•  Position the iron vertically on its stand on a suitable flat stable surface.
• Ensure that the steam control (3) is on OFF position
•  Connect the plug to a suitable mains power outlet.
• Turn the temperature dial (6) to a setting within the steam range
•  The indicator lamp (8) will light up. The light will turn off as soon as the selected temperature is reached.
• Turn on the steam control and begin ironing.

NOTE: Always follow the recommended ironing instructions found on the garment. If there is no ironing instructions on the garment, use the heat settings in the table as a reference.
Dry Ironing

• Position the iron vertically on its stand on a suitable flat stable surface.
• Ensure that the steam control (3) is set to OFF position
• Connect the power cord plug into a suitable mains power outlet socket.
• Turn the temperature dial (6) to the desired heat setting.
• The indicator lamp (8) will light up. The light will turn off as soon as the selected temperature is reached.

Using Spray button

•  Set the temperature dial (6) at MAX position, When the indicator lamp goes off, Press the spray button (5) a couple of times to moisten the garment. Before spraying makes sure that there is enough water in the water tank.

NOTE: Do not spray water on silk.
Using the Steam Shot button

•  Set the temperature dial (6) at MAX position, When the indicator goes off, Press the steam shot button (4) to instantly provide a powerful burst of steam to eliminate stubborn wrinkles.
• The steam shot button can also be used when holding the iron in a vertical position. This is useful for removing creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.

ATTENTION: To protect against burns or injury to persons do not iron or steam fabrics while being worn on the body. Do not direct steam towards the body when ironing.

After ironing

•  After use, rotate the temperature dial (6) to the OFF position and disconnect the iron from the mains power outlet socket.
• Let the iron cool down and empty the water tank to prevent built up of any residue in the water tank.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT! Unplug the iron from mains power and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning and storing.

• Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent if necessary.
• Do not use alcohol, acetone, benzene, scourging cleaning agents etc., to clean the iron. Do not use hard brushes or metallic objects.
• Remove any deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth. To avoid scratching the finishing, never use a metallic pad to clean the soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.
• To remove synthetic residue from the soleplate, iron over an old cotton rag in high heat setting.
•  Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.

Self-clean function
The self-cleaning function should be used on a regular basis, depending on usage and the hardness of water used.
WARNING: Never pour white vinegar or any liquid cleaners into the water tank!

•  Fill the water tank. Refer to OPERATION: Filling the water tank.
•  Position the iron vertically on its stand on a suitable surface.
•  Ensure the steam control (3) is in OFF position.

• Set to maximum ironing temperature.
• Once the soleplate temperature is reached, unplug the iron from mains power.
•  Hold the iron over a sink (away from your body), press and hold the self-clean button (3). Boiling water and steam will now emit from the steam holes on the soleplate.
•  Carefully shake the iron forwards and backwards to allow any scale and other deposits to expel with boiling water and steam.
•  Release the self-clean button (3) when the water tank is empty.
•  Plug the appliance into a mains power outlet socket, set a temperature and leave in operation for at least two minutes to dry the soleplate.
•  Unplug the iron and let the iron cool down completely.

IRONING TIPS

IMPORTANT! always check whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the garment. Always follow the ironing instructions attached to the garment.

• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles first requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibre/material.
•  If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the composition of those fibres.
•  Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should always be ironed on the inner side.
•  To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.
•  Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at all times.
•  Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set to steam position. Preferably set the steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth between the garment and the iron for protection.
•  Do not touch plastic buttons on the garment with a hot iron because they may melt.
•  Be careful around zippers and similar items to prevent the soleplate from scratching.
