Using the iron for steam ironing

Make sure the iron is not plugged in. Set the variable steam switch (1) to 'O'. Fill the water tank (11) via the filling hole (6). The MAX graphic on the side of the water tank has two positions, allowing the tank to be filled in either a horizontal or tilted position. To fill the tank with the maximum amount of water, we recommend the iron is tilted whilst being filled.

IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND A MIX OF 50% TAP WATER AND 50% DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.

Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, sugar, fragrant additives or defrosted water from a refrigerator.

NOTE: Please see point 2 of 'Exclusions' on page 8.

Plug in the iron and switch on at the mains.

Set the temperature dial (9) to the temperature required (see 'Temperature Guide' on page 3). The temperature indicator light (10) will illuminate until the required temperature is reached, then it will turn off.

Tip: We recommend the temperature indicator light is allowed to illuminate and extinguish twice before you begin ironing.

The temperature indicator light will switch on and off whilst you are ironing.

Tip: Begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools down so this will save you time and energy.

Vary the steam output using the variable steam switch (1).

Only use the steam function on heavy fabrics and when the temperature dial is set within the shaded area (as shown, right).

Steam boost

Press the steam boost button (3) for an extra steam burst for stubborn creases / heavy fabrics.

NOTE: If you need to use the steam boost whilst dry ironing, check the temperature dial (9) is set within the steam range.

NOTE: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.

Features of your iron

Dry ironing

Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the variable steam switch (1) to 'O' and set the temperature dial (9) as desired (see page 3). You won't need water in the tank unless using the water spray or steam boost features.

Vertical steam

Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc. Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from the item and press the steam boost button (3).

Anti-scale system

This system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.

Auto shut-off (certain models only)

The iron will automatically shut down if stationary in the horizontal position for 1 minute, or in the vertical position for 8 minutes.

When auto shut-off is activated, the indicator light (4) will flash.

Gently move the iron and it will reheat. Wait for the iron to heat-up and continue ironing.

Anti-drip system (certain models only)

This prevents water escaping from the soleplate (8) when the iron is too cold.

During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.

Maintenance

To clean a stainless steel soleplate

We recommend using a generally available gentle chrome, silver or stainless steel cleaner. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (8), set the iron at the 3-dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean a coated soleplate

Do not use scouring powder or solution as this could cause damage to the coating.

If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (8), set the iron at the MAX position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean the exterior

Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.

Emptying and storing

When you have finished ironing, unplug and empty all water from your iron and set the steam switch at the 'O' position. When cool, store the iron on its heel with the cord wrapped loosely around the heel.

NOTE: Please see point 3 of 'Exclusions' on page 8.

Self clean

Your iron has a built in cleaning system designed to keep the water valve, steam chamber and steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral deposits.

1 Half fill the iron with water.
2 Place the iron on its heel (12).

3 Move the variable steam switch (1) to the MAX position.

4 Connect to a mains supply outlet.

5 Set the temperature dial (9) to 'MAX'. See step 2 of 'Using your iron for steam ironing' on page 4.
6 Leave the iron switched on, rested on its heel (12) until the temperature indicator light (10) goes out.

WARNING: Keep hands and body away from the hot soleplate.

7 Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.
8 Whilst the iron is still very hot, hold the iron horizontally over a sink.

CAUTION: The soleplate will still be hot, so ensure the power cord and plug are kept away from it and the sink.

9 Push the variable steam switch (1) fully to the right and hold in the self clean position (5).

WARNING: Steam and boiling hot water will drain from the holes in the soleplate. Keep hands and body away from the hot water. This washes away the scale and minerals that have built up inside the steam chamber.

10 Whilst still holding the variable steam switch (1) in the self clean position, gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
11 When cleaning is complete, move the variable steam switch back to the 'O' position.
12 Rest your steam iron back on its heel and allow to fully cool down.
13 Wipe the soleplate (8) with a cold, damp cloth.

After this cleaning operation, empty out any remaining water.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to descale the soleplate with descaling products.
