IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

When using your new iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Use iron only for its intended use. For HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron when storing.
It is always recommended to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying. It should also be disconnected when not in use.
Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of an electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified service depot for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or on an
ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amp cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect it from the power supply and have it serviced by qualified service personnel.
The iron is not be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
Use caution when you turn on a steam iron upside down – there might be hot water in the reservoir
The 270IR should be used on a stable ironing surface.
Keep the 270IR in an upright position during storage, leaning on its heel part, set on a stable surface.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, one service agent authorized or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Never leave the appliance unattended while it is connected to the mains supply.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 year and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge only if they are supervised and have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
This appliance is not a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not tug on the power cord. Never use the power cord to lift, carry or unplug the appliance.
Check that the lid is closed properly before switching the appliance on.

ATTENTION

Before using your Velocity 270IR, remove all the paper or plastic bags, plastic sheets, cards and possible stickers that may be on the outside or inside of the appliance that acted as handling protection or sales promotion material. Remove the soleplate protector before using your 270IR.
Read these instructions before first using your appliance.
This manual is an integral part of the product. Please safeguard it for future reference.
Do not plug it in without checking that the voltage of the appliance is the same as your home mains voltage.
Take care that the cord does not touch the hot parts of the appliance.
Check that the socket outlet has a suitable ground connection.
To fill your 270IR or fill it while ironing, follow the instructions in the “BEFORE STARTING TO IRON” section on pages 7-8, unplugging it and using the beaker provided.
Do not use your 270IR steam function without water in the tank as this may cause irreparable damage to the system.
The appliance may emit a little smoke and a plastic smell during the first few minutes of use. This is normal and will disappear quickly.
Do not spray “vertical” steam on a garment hanging in the wardrobe or on a person. Vertical ironing must be done with the garment on a hanger and away from other garments, elements or persons.
When you finish ironing, always empty the water from the tank. If you want to drain it while ironing, always unplug the appliance from the mains first.
To disconnect the 270IR, never pull on the power cord, take out the plug.
The 270IR should not be used if it has been dropped or has a crack or is leaking.

BEFORE STARTING TO IRON

• Make sure that all of the products’ packaging has been removed.

• Prepare the appliance according to the function you wish to use:

FILLING WITH WATER

Connect the appliance to the main power supply.
Once plugged in, the product will start to heat up, during this heating period, do not press the steam button, first wait for the pilot light to switch off.
Do not use temperatures higher than those indicated on the garments to be
treated.

Temperature and steam status are shown on the screen (C), when both values remain steady this indicates that the iron is ready for use, it will also beep when it reaches its setting.
To select the various programs just turn the digital screen to the left or right depending on whether we wish to increase or decrease the program number, the program will change with a slight turn. Left decreases, right increases. (Fig. 2) once turned, the dial will return to position. $RELIABLE VELOCITY- 270IR-Steam-Iron-FIG- $5$$
Given that the soleplate can take a long time to cool, we recommend starting off with delicate garments and then increasing the program setting.

PROGRAMS

Off
Antisheen, special setting to avoid creating sheen on dark garments.
ECO setting, the most efficient, optimised for cost-effective ironing.
Delicates; ironing directly on T-shirts with printed decals and any delicate garment.
AUTO; single setting suitable for all type of ironing, except for very delicate garments.
Ironing shirts and cotton garments
Denim jeans and heavy cotton
Linen; fabrics that are difficult to iron.
TURBO; Maximum temperature and steam flow for ULTRA FAST ironing.

If garment has various kinds of fibres, select the temperature for the fibre that requires the lowest temperature. (For example, select the temperature for polyester for an article made out of 60% polyester and 40% cotton).
Temperature and steam status are shown on the digital display.

SENSOR HANDLE $RELIABLE VELOCITY-270IR-Steam-Iron-FIG- $6$$

The 270IR is equipped with a presence sensor (F) that instantly shuts off the steam outlet if the handle is not being held. This leads to energy savings and increased autonomy of the water tank (lower water consumption).
Steam flow is automatically re-established by holding the handle on the iron
Removing your hand from the handle does not switch off the selected steam function, it only interrupts the steam flow temporarily until it detects that the handle is being gripped again

DRY IRONING

The appliance has a steam control button (E) which, when set to off, allows dryironing (without steam) or with steam if it is switched on, a light indicates itsstatus, on/enabled off/disabled.

STEAM IRONING

It is possible to iron with steam as long as the tank has water and at any setting.

VERTICAL IRONING

It is possible to iron hanging curtains, items of clothing on their own hanger, etc.To do so, follow these instructions:
Iron from top to bottom.
Important: for cotton and linen, it is recommended to put the base of the iron incontact with the material. For other more delicate fabrics, it is recommended tokeep the base of the iron a few centimetres away

AUTO SHUT OFF BYPASSFor those who want to leave their iron on for periods longer than 8 minutes at a time (without the automatic shut off system activating) the Velocity 270IR has a auto bypass feature that allows the iron to stay on indefinitely. To activate this feature, with your hand completely off of the sensor handle, simply press the steam on/off button (E) for 5 seconds.After holding the steam button for 5 seconds, the LEDs will flash for 5 seconds indicating that the auto shut off bypass has been deactivated. When the iron is unplugged, the auto shut off bypass returns to its default position.Do not leave your iron unattended while the auto bypass feature is activated.
