Frequently Asked Questions - SI12010N SWAN

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron and wait 15 minutes for it to cool. Remove the filler cap on the boiler and fill with water using the provided jug. Do not overfill. The tank holds approximately 500 ml. Always close the cap tightly before use.

Can I use tap water?

In hard water areas, use bottled, distilled, or filtered water to prevent limescale buildup. Tap water may cause scaling, which voids the warranty. If you notice flecks on the soleplate, descale immediately.

How do I use the steam lock?

Press the steam button, then push the steam lock switch forward to lock continuous steam. To release, press the steam trigger and pull the steam lock switch back. This is useful for steady ironing.

Is vertical steaming possible?

Yes. Hold the iron vertically 5-15 cm from hanging fabrics and press the steam button. Use for curtains or hanging clothes. Always ventilate the room and never direct steam at people or animals.

How often should I descale the iron?

Descale regularly, especially if you live in a hard water area. A mixture of 1 part lemon juice to 10 parts water can be used. Run on max steam for 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Ignoring scale may damage the iron.

What should I do if the iron produces smoke on first use?

This is normal. The sealers inside the steam generator burn off during first heating. The smoke and odor will disappear after a few minutes. Ensure good ventilation.

Can children use this iron?

Children aged 8 years and above can use it under supervision. Cleaning and maintenance should not be done by children unless they are older and supervised. Keep the appliance and cord out of reach of children under 8.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth or non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Never immerse the iron in water. For stubborn deposits, use a gentle cleaner suitable for irons.

What does the indicator light mean?

The 'steam ready/empty water tank' light indicates when the boiler is ready for steam or if water is low. The heating indicator on the iron turns on during heating and off when the set temperature is reached.

What is the warranty period?

The Swan SI12010N comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, valid in the UK and Eire. It covers faulty materials or workmanship. Keep the proof of purchase.

HOW TO USE

CONTROLS

- When used for the first time, the appliance may give off smoke and an odour for several minutes. This is caused by heating and subsequent drying of the sealers used in assembling the steam generator and iron. This will only happen one time.

DRY IRONING (Just don't press the steam button!)

1. Connect the appliance to a suitable socket outlet. Then the heating indicator light will light up to indicate that the unit has been connected to the power supply.
2. Set temperature control knob to desired position according to above ironing temperature setting guide or fabric setting chart. Heating indicator (B) light on the iron unit will turn on to indicate that the soleplate is being heated up. When heating indicator light turns off, it indicates that desired temperature has been reached. It is ready for dry ironing. During use, it is normal that heating indicator light will cycle on and off, which means that the soleplate is automatically keeping temperature constant. (For every first time use, it should be pre-heated for about 3 minutes to ensure even temperature across the soleplate)
3. After use, put iron unit back on the base unit, turn temperature control knob to "MIN" and turn off power switch on the control panel.
4. Unplug the appliance from main socket.
5. Note: When changing your temperature setting from higher setting to lower, do not start ironing immediately since it may burn your fabrics. Please wait until heating indicator light turns on, and then turn off again.
6. For best results always start with the fabrics that need coolest setting first.

STEAM IRONING

1. Follow the steps above but press the steam button during ironing. The high pressure system and the constant flow of steam makes ironing much easier!
2. For constant steam, press the steam button then push the Steam Lock switch forward. This will lock the steam trigger in the ON position.

3. To release the steam lock, press the steam trigger and pull the steam lock switch back.

HOW TO USE

FILLING THE BOILER

1. Make sure the supply cord is unplugged from the main socket.
2. Do not open the filler cap while using the appliance or before the water is completely used up [when the iron stops producing steam indicates that the tank is empty]. To add water, unplug and wait 15 minutes to avoid sudden temperature changes. Place a cloth over the safety valve and unscrew slowly to allow any remaining steam/pressure to escape slowly
3. Fill the boiler with water using refill cup. 12)
4. Refit the filler cap fully.
5. After use, put iron unit back on the base unit, turn temperature control knob to "MIN" and turn off power switch on the control panel.

STEAM IRONING TIPS

1. Before steam ironing, make sure the fabric is suitable for this kind of ironing. Check the garment label for the correct ironing temperature
2. Sort the garments by ironing temperature with lowest first. This saves time as the iron takes longer to cool down than it does to heat up.
3. Always unlock the steam button between garments and when not ironing.

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 button, which will create the 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.

HOW TO USE

EMPTYING AND STORING

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down for 60 minutes at least.
  • After use, pour out all the remaining water. Take care when removing the filler cap as described on page 7
  • The iron should be placed on the iron rest, and then stored

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance from the main socket and let the iron completely cool down.
• Clean the iron with a damp cloth.
- Wipe off scale and any other deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth or non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
• Never clean the appliance under the tap.
- The outside of the base can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution

DESCALING

It is very important to descale the iron regularly - especially if you live in a hard water area! If you notice small flecks of scale coming from the soleplate, it is a sure sign that the product needs descaling.

A cheap method of descaling is to use 1 part lemon juice to 10 parts water. Add to tank and run through for about 5 minutes on max steam setting. Empty out the water and repeat process with clean water.

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!

SWAN BRAND HERITAGE

Vintage iron iron with coiled cord and handle (no visible text or symbols)

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 shillings (70p), it meant many households could own a prestigious Swan Product.
