FEATURES
Your iron has an Anti-Drip system and Auto-Off function.
Anti-Drip system:
This is to prevent water from escaping from the soleplate when the iron is
cold. During use, the anti-drip system may emit a ‘clicking’ sound when
heating up or cooling down. This is normal and indicates that the system is
functioning correctly.
Auto-Off function:
Automatically switches off the steam iron if it has not been moved for a
while, or if the iron is left resting on the stand for approximately 8 mins.
Cordless function:
Unlock the power base lock to use as Cordless Steam Iron.
Put the steam iron on the power base for charging, remove the iron from the
base when the indicator light goes off. The appliance is capable to operate as
steam iron for approximately 40 seconds or can discharge 10 bursts of steam
when fully charged.
OPERATION
Filling the water tank
- Ensure that the iron is cold and not connected to mains power.
- Open the water filling inlet (4) by lifting the cap.
- Hold the iron in a tilted position and fill the water tank with plain water by using the measuring cup.
- CAUTION! DO NOT exceed the max level on the water tank.
- Close the water filling inlet (4) by pressing down the cap until you hear a click. Ensure the water tank is properly closed to avoid water spillage.
NOTES: To avoid calcium deposits, we recommend using distilled water to fill the water tank.
IMPORTANT! To avoid damage or blockage of the steam iron, do not use any scented water or additives.
Steam Ironing
-
Fill the water tank with water.
-
Position the iron vertically on its charging base, stand on a suitable flat stable surface.
-
Ensure that the steam function is OFF: checked steam setting display (5) shows “0”.
-
Connect the supply cord plug into a suitable mains power outlet socket, the BLUE Power indicator lamp on the iron should illuminate.
-
Turn the temperature dial (9) to a setting within the steam range ****
-
When the indicator light is OFF, it means the iron is ready to use.
-
Press the steam setting button (8) to select desired steam level.
Check steam setting display (5):
“0” – no steam
“1” – low steam
“2” – high steam -
Now steam ironing can begin.
Dry Ironing
- Position the iron vertically on its charging base, stand on a suitable flat stable surface.
- Ensure that the steam function is OFF: check steam level indicator is showing “0”.
- Connect the supply cord plug into a suitable mains power outlet socket, the BLUE Power indicator lamp on the iron should illuminate.
- Turn the temperature dial (9) to the desired temperature setting.
- When the indicator light is OFF, you may start dry ironing.
Steam spray
- Set the temperature dial (9) at MAX position, when the indicator goes off, press the spray button 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.
Steam shot
- Set the temperature dial (9) at MAX position, when the indicator goes off, press the steam shot button 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. CAUTION: 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 (9) to the OFF position and disconnect the Powerbase (13) from the mains power.
- Let the iron cool down and empty the water tank to prevent the build-up of any residue in the water tank.
Self-clean function
The self-cleaning function should be used on a regular basis, depending on
usage and the hardness of the water used in the iron.
WARNING: Never pour white vinegar or 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 setting display (5) shows “0”.
- Connect the supply cord plug to a suitable power outlet socket.
- Set to maximum ironing temperature.
- Once the soleplate temperature is reached, unplug the iron from the mains power outlet socket.
- Hold the iron over a sink (away from your body), press the self-clean button. Boiling water and steam will now emit from the holes on the soleplate.
- Carefully shake the iron forwards and backwards to allow any scale and other deposits to be expelled with boiling water and steam.
- Release the self-clean button when the water tank is empty.
- Plug the appliance into a mains power outlet socket, set a temperature and leave it in operation for at least two minutes to dry the soleplate.
- Unplug the iron and let the iron cool down completely before storing it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- 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 soleplate, 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.
IRONING TIPS
Before you start ironing, always check whether a label with ironing
instructions is attached to the garment.
IMPORTANT! 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.
-
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 the 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.
