Frequently Asked Questions - SI11010BMN SWAN

How do I use the Swan SI11010BMN griddle for the first time?

Before first use, wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Plug into a mains outlet, turn the temperature dial to maximum, and heat for about 10 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. Then let it cool, wash gently, and it's ready.

What foods can I cook on this griddle?

The non-stick surface is ideal for pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausages, grilled vegetables, and panini. Avoid cooking highly acidic foods for prolonged periods as they may damage the coating.

How do I clean the griddle after use?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Wipe the cooking surface with a soft damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, use a mild detergent. Never submerge the griddle in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal utensils.

Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?

No, metal utensils can scratch and damage the non-stick coating. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils instead.

What does the indicator light mean?

The indicator light shows when the griddle is heating up. When the set temperature is reached, the light will turn off. It cycles on and off to maintain the temperature.

Is the griddle safe to leave unattended?

No, never leave the appliance unattended while in use. Always keep it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.

What should I do if the griddle stops working?

First, check that it is properly plugged in and the outlet is working. If the problem persists, contact Swan customer service or a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

Can I use the griddle outdoors?

The griddle is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors may expose it to moisture and cause electrical hazards.

How much oil should I use?

The non-stick surface requires little to no oil. A light coating or cooking spray is sufficient to prevent sticking.

GETTING STARTED

A QUICK WORD ABOUT LIMESCALE

Modern Steam Irons (like this one) give a much higher steam output than their counterparts from the 80s and 90s. That makes ironing a lot easier! However, to get this high performance, modern Steam Irons use high precision components inside. These can be ruined by excessive limescale build up.

Depending on where you live, limescale can have a major impact on the operational life and efficiency of steam irons. Have a quick look inside your kettle! If it has a lot of limescale deposits, then we strongly recommend that you use bottled, filtered or distilled water in this iron.

Your Steam Generator iron is equipped with a removable filter that can prevent some limescale from damaging the pump inside. However, it does have limits and is not covered by your warranty. Replacement filters are available from our website at www.swan-brand.com but, depending on where you live, a filter can last 2 years in Halifax or just 2 months in Bristol!

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR USE:

• Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate.
• Remove tank & filter, fill tank to below MAX level, refit filter and replace the tank. A CLICK sound will be heard to indicate tank is in place (see image)
• Connect the iron to the mains supply and turn the thermostat control to MAX
• Note: It is normal for a slight odour to come from the unit during the first use. This is due to light oils used to preserve components during manufacture. The odour will disappear after first use.
• The carry handle can be lifted or lowered by pressing the buttons either side simultaneously (see image)

GETTING STARTED

PRIMING THE PUMP

OK so your Steam Generator Iron is now switched on and heating up nicely. When the indicator light on the hand unit goes out, it has reached temperature.

1. Lift the iron from the base
2. Hold it lower than the base (on first time use like this, gravity helps to get water to the hand unit more quickly)
3. Press and HOLD the steam release button for up to 30 seconds
4. The pump will make a vibration noise that will become quieter as it becomes primed with water.
5. When fully primed and ready, steam (and lots of it) will come from the hand unit and the pump will make a quiet pulsing noise.
6. If this is the first time use, we recommend ironing a piece of scrap linen or cotton material to ensure any residual material from the manufacturing process is removed from the iron and soleplate.
7. Your new iron is now primed and ready for work!

Please refer to the ironing temperature guide below. When you begin your ironing session, start with the LOWER temperature fabrics first because the iron takes longer to cool down than it does to heat up.

If you need to go from high temperature to low temperature then:

• Set the thermostat to lower temperature (NOTE: there is no steam function on the very low settings)
• Wait for the indicator light on the hand unit to cycle on and off TWICE. This ensures the sole plate is an even temperature.

IRONING TIPS

DRY IRONING

If the garment requires dry ironing then don't press the steam release button during ironing. There are some lower temperature settings eg NYLON where steam function is not available, since the soleplate doesn't get hot enough to produce steam at his temperature

If you are unsure about the correct setting for your iron or if the garment label is missing then try ironing a small inconspicuous area of the garment first.

TANK LEVEL

The tank should hold enough water to fuel even the longest ironing session but keep your eye on it. It's always best to refill the tank before it becomes completely empty. If the pump noise increases, it is a sure sign that the tank is empty!

After refilling the tank, you may need to prime the pump again. Hold the hand unit below the base and press/hold the steam release button. It should only take a few seconds to prime the pump - and you're ready to go again!

If you need to refill the tank more than twice during a single ironing session, then some pondering on the life choices you have made that have lead to the existential horror of having such a back log of ironing to do might be in order (our service line cannot help with this).

VERTICAL STEAM IRONING

• Follow the steam ironing process, and then hold the iron in vertical position about 5cm to 15cm away from the hanging fabrics. Press the steam release button, which will create vertical steam.
• This feature is especially used for removing creases from hanging clothes and curtains.
  • Never directsteam toward people or animals
  • The room should be ventilated.
  • Note: Never block the steam hose.

5CM \~ 15CM

AFTER USE

When you have finished ironing:

• Unplug the product from the mains supply and allow to fully cool.
- If you are using tap water then remove the tank and empty the water out, then repfit the tank.
- If using bottled, filtered or distilled water you can leave the water in the tank for a couple of days until your next ironing session
- The outside of the iron can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution
- Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of the iron
• Never immerse the base or hand unit in water
• Never run the base or hand unit under the tap

DESCALING

We highly recommend using bottled water as it is inexpensive and it could be many years before you need to descale the product. In certain areas of the UK, the iron can become scaled up after only a few weeks! Call 0871 200 0003 for more info.

SWAN BRAND HERITAGE

Did you know...

In 1933 most homes were heating their irons over the gas ring or still putting hot coal in them. This Swan iron was basically an element with a handle, which plugged straight into a light bulb socket. And at a mere 14 s hillings (70p), it meant many households could own a prestigious Swan Product.
