Frequently Asked Questions - SI3060N SWAN

How do I fill the water tank of the Swan SI3060N iron?

Press the tank release button (11) to remove the water tank. Fill with clean water up to the MAX level. Replace the tank until it clicks into place. Use bottled or purified water for best results, especially in hard water areas.

What temperature setting should I use for different fabrics?

Refer to the temperature guide on the iron: synthetic/silk (low), wool (medium), cotton/linen (high). Always start with the lowest temperature for delicate fabrics. The iron heats up faster than it cools down, so begin with synthetics.

How do I use the self-clean function?

Fill the tank with water, set temperature to max, and ensure the steam control is in the self-clean position. Hold the iron over a sink and press the self-cleaning button (12). Steam and boiling water will flush out impurities and limescale. Do not use vinegar or other cleaners.

Can I use the steam shot vertically?

Yes, the steam shot function works both horizontally and vertically. This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, and upholstery. For best results, use at maximum temperature.

What does the anti-drip system do?

The anti-drip function prevents water from leaking out of the soleplate when the temperature drops, such as when ironing dense garments for a long time. The iron automatically reduces steam output to avoid drips.

Why does the iron produce an unusual smell during first use?

It is normal for a strange odor to occur during first use due to light oils used to preserve components. Heat the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a damp cloth for a few minutes. The smell will disappear after that.

How should I clean and maintain the soleplate?

After each use, unplug the iron and empty the water tank. Reconnect and let it heat until the indicator light goes off to dry the soleplate. Once cool, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth or non-abrasive cleaner. Store empty and horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.

What type of water should I use?

For best results and longer product life, use bottled or purified water, especially if you live in a hard water area. Tap water can be used but may cause limescale buildup. Never use vinegar or chemical descalers in the tank.

How should I store the iron?

Always empty the water tank after use. Let the iron cool completely, then store it horizontally on a stable surface. Place a cloth under the soleplate to protect it. Do not store the iron upright unless specified.

What is the warranty period for the Swan SI3060N?

The iron comes with a 2-year guarantee from the date of original purchase, valid in the UK and Eire only. It covers defects due to faulty materials or workmanship. Proof of purchase is required. The guarantee does not cover wear and tear, misuse, or consumable parts.

Operation

1. Press the tank release button (11) and remove the tank. Add clean water into the water tank to the MAX level. Replace the tank ensuring that it “clicks” into place. 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.
2. Press down filler cap (3) of water tank and you will hear a click if it is in the correct position.
3. 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.
4. Make sure steam dial is on dry position then place the iron vertically
5. Once soleplate temperature has reached the preset temperature, indicator light will turn off, then set steam dial (3) 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.
6. Press spray water button a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make sure that there is enough water in water tank.
7. Steam shot function is best used at max temperature, as it helps

remove stubborn creases.

1. 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.

2. “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.

Do not iron

TIP: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the variable steam control to “0”. As indicated on the thermostat knob for temperature regulation and in the initial table, you can only use steam at the highest temperatures. If the selected temperature is too low, water may drip onto the plate.

For dry ironing, put the steam control (4) into the "0" position

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

After ironing

1. Disconnect power supply and empty the water left in water tank.
2. Reconnect into power supply and disconnect after indicator light goes off, this dries the soleplate.
3. 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.
4. Clean the upper part of iron with a damp cloth.
5. Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.

Self-clean function

Clean the unit regularly – more so if you live in a hard water area.

1. Fill water into the water tank and set the temperature selector to Max position
2. Connect into power supply and indicator light will be illuminated, make sure Steam control button (4) is in the self clean position Warning: never pour white vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank!
3. Hold the iron over the sink and press the button while the steam control is in the self-clean position. Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate along with any impurities and limescale flakes.

Auto-decalcification feature

There is a decalcification unit inside the appliance, which can absorb insoluble calcium ions and send out soluble natrium ion so that water can be softened, and the process of calcium deposits building up is greatly reduced. This is an automatic process and not controllable by the user.
