Frequently Asked Questions - SI30100N SWAN

How do I fill the water tank?

Hold the iron tilted and add clean water to the tank. Do not exceed the Max level mark. For best results, use bottled or purified water, especially in hard water areas.

How do I use the steam shot function?

Set the temperature to maximum (cotton/linen setting) and press the steam shot button. This function helps remove stubborn creases. You can also use it vertically on hung clothes or curtains.

Why does water leak from my iron?

Water may leak if the tank is overfilled (above Max) or if you iron at too low a temperature for the steam setting. The anti-drip function reduces steam when soleplate temperature drops, but if temperature is too low, water may escape. Always set temperature appropriate for the fabric.

How do I descale my iron?

Mix 1 part lemon juice to 10 parts water. Fill the iron, heat to maximum, set steam control to max, and press the steam shot button repeatedly until most solution is expelled. Empty remaining solution and repeat with clean water. Descale every few weeks if you live in a hard water area.

What temperature should I use for different fabrics?

Follow the temperature guide: Synthetic fibres/Silk (low), Wool (medium), Cotton/Linen (high). If fabric is a mixture, use the lowest temperature required. Always check the garment label first.

What does the anti-drip function do?

When ironing dense garments for a long time, the soleplate temperature can drop. The anti-drip function automatically reduces steam output to prevent water dripping onto the fabric.

Why does my iron smell strange when I first use it?

It is normal for the iron to emit a strange odour during first use due to light oils used to preserve components during manufacture. The odour will disappear after first use. You can also heat the iron to maximum and iron a damp cloth for several minutes to remove residues.

Can I use the iron vertically?

Yes, you can use the steam shot function vertically to remove creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc. Ensure the temperature is set to maximum.

How do I clean and store the iron?

After use, unplug and empty the water tank. To dry the soleplate, reconnect power, wait for indicator light to go off, then disconnect. Let cool completely, then wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. Clean the upper part with a damp cloth. Store horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.

What is the warranty period?

The Swan SI30100N comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of original purchase. The guarantee is valid in the UK and Eire only and covers domestic use. Return to the retailer with proof of purchase.

HOW TO USE

Before first use

Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate.

Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes for the purpose of removing any residue on the soleplate.

Note: It is normal for a strange 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.

Operation

Hold the iron in a tilted position, then add clean water into the water tank. For best results and longer product life, use bottled or purified water – especially if you live in a hard water area. Make sure not to exceed Max level on the tank. NOTE: IF YOU OVER FILL THE TANK THE WATER WILL LEAK BACK OUT AGAIN WHEN YOU PUT THE IRON UPRIGHT.

Press down cover of water tank and you will hear a click if it is in the correct position.

Connect plug to outlet and turn temperature dial to your desired setting, which is determined by the type of fabric you intend to iron. The indicator light will illuminate.

Make sure steam control is on dry (O) position then place the iron vertically

Once soleplate temperature has reached the preset temperature, indicator light will turn off, then set steam dial to your desired steam output or dry position and begin ironing. WARNING: Not touch hot soleplate at any time during ironing. It will be very hot.

Press spray button a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make sure that there is enough water in water tank. A few presses might be required to pump the water through on first use

Steam shot function is best used at max temperature, as it helps remove stubborn creases.

The iron has an anti-drip function: if you are ironing dense garments for a long time, the soleplate temperature can drop. To prevent water coming from the soleplate, the iron will automatically reduce the steam output.

"Steam shot" can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position, so this is useful for removing creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.

IRONING TIPS

Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article.

The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres.

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 be ironed on the inner side.

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 given moment.

Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position. Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.

Note: when ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

AFTER IRONING

Disconnect power supply and empty the water left in water tank. Reconnect the power supply and disconnect after indicator light goes off, this dries the soleplate.

Let the iron completely cool down, then wipe flakes and any other deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the upper part of iron with a damp cloth. Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.

DE-SCALING

If you live in a hard water area it will be necessary to descale the iron regularly (every few weeks). This is easy to do using a lemon juice solution. One part lemon juice to ten parts water.

Fill the iron with the solution, switch on and allow to come to temperature. Turn steam control to max. Press the steam surge button repeatedly until most of the solution has worked through the iron. Empty remaining solution from tank then repeat the above procedure with clean water.

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.
