• If the appliance shows evidence of damage, malfunction, water leaks or other abnormality, DO NOT use it.

• Always make sure the appliance is switched off, unplugged and cooled down before cleaning.

• IMPORTANT! The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to mains power and before it has cooled down.

• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord or on the appliance.

• Never immerse the iron, the stand, the cable or the cord plug in water. Never wash them under a water tap.

• The soleplate of the iron can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched. Do not allow the supply cord to come in contact with the soleplate.
  CAUTION! For electrical safety, if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrical person only to avoid a hazard or the product must be disposed of.

• Disconnect from mains power when filling the reservoir in the iron with water.

• The iron must be used and rested on a flat, stable surface.

• Always place and operate the iron on a flat, solid, clean and dry surface. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.

• For additional protection, this appliance should be connected to a household residual current device (RCD/safety switch) with a rating of no more than 30mA. If unsure consult your electrician for advice.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Unpack the appliance and check if all parts are there and undamaged. Should this not be the case, return the product to Kmart for replacement.
The packaging contains:

•  One steam iron
• One charging base
•  One filler cup
  Clean all parts before first use. See Cleaning and Maintenance
  Heat up the iron to its maximum temperature and iron over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes. This will burn off any manufacturing residue from the iron. Smoke and odour may occur for a short period during this process, which is normal.

FEATURES

Your iron has an Anti-Drip system, Anti-Scales 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 loud ‘clicking’ sound, particularly when heating up or cooling down. This is normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly. Anti-Scale system: The built-in anti-scale cartridge is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale in the iron which occurs during steam ironing. The anti-scale cartridge is designed to prolong the working life of your iron. The anti-calc cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced. Auto-Off function: Automatically switches ‘off’ the steam iron if it has not been moved for a while.  Approx. after 8 mins., if the iron is left resting on the stand.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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

Cleaning

• Clean the upper part of iron with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent.
•  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 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 (water quality) of water used.

WARNING: Never pour white vinegar or any liquid cleaners into the water tank!

• Plug the appliance into the mains power 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 fully.

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.

•  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 any moment.

• 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 with a hot iron because they may melt.

• Be careful around zippers and similar items to prevent the soleplate from scratching.
