Frequently Asked Questions - SI4030GRN SWAN

How do I fill the water tank on the Swan SI4030GRN iron?

Unplug the iron. Open the water inlet cap and fill the 250 ml tank with tap water using a measuring jug. Do not exceed the MAX level. Close the cap securely.

What fabric settings should I use?

Refer to the fabric guide on the iron. For delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic) use low temperature. For cotton and linen, use high temperature. Always start with low heat and increase if needed.

How do I use the shot of steam?

Press the steam shot button firmly. This releases a powerful burst of steam (up to 100 g/min) to remove stubborn creases. Ensure the iron is at high temperature and the tank has enough water.

Why is water dripping from the soleplate?

The anti-drip system prevents leakage when the iron is too cold. If dripping occurs, set the temperature higher or allow the iron to heat up. Also check if the water tank is overfilled.

How do I clean the iron?

Unplug and let it cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For descaling, use the self-cleaning function or a recommended descaler. Run a cycle with water and descaling solution.

What is the auto shut-off feature?

The iron automatically turns off if left horizontal for 30 seconds or vertical for 8 minutes. This saves energy and prevents accidents. Simply move the iron to reactivate.

Can I use the iron vertically?

Yes, the vertical steam function allows you to steam hanging curtains or garments without ironing. Hold the iron vertically and press the steam shot button.

What should I do if the iron is not producing steam?

Check that the water tank is filled and the iron is at correct temperature. If still no steam, unplug and descale to remove mineral deposits. Also ensure the steam control is set to a steam position.

How should I store the iron?

Allow the iron to cool completely. Empty the water tank. Wind the cord loosely around the cord wrap. Store upright in a dry place. Do not store with water inside.

Is the Swan SI4030GRN iron repairable?

Spare parts are available through Swan customer service for many components. However, soleplate and water tank are not user-replaceable. For repairs, contact an authorized service center.

Parts Important Safeguards

Temperature light

When indicator light is illuminated, it indicates that the iron is heating up; it will go out when it has reached selected temperature. The light cycles on and off during ironing as the iron maintains the selected temperature.

Steam Button

When this button is pressed the pump will start and the steam will start to be pumped from base to iron through the interconnection cord. Please note that small amounts of water left in the interconnection cord from previous ironing sessions may be ejected from the sole plate when this button is pressed for the first time. For this reason it is advisable to perform the first steam surge away from garments (a 5 – 10 second surge should expel any water from previous ironing sessions). The pump may make a noise for a few seconds until it is properly primed.

Temperature dial

Turn the temperature dial clockwise to increase iron temperature and anti-clockwise to reduce it. Temperature guidelines for particular garment materials are shown on the dial.

Limescale Filter

This is a removable filter that collects limescale and calcium deposits from the water. Please call the help line to order limescale filters (these are chargeable)

Tank Lock button

The button locks the water tank in stand, so that the tank can not slip out and be damaged. Pump light

This light illuminates when the Steam Button is pressed.

Power light

When the light is on, it indicates that the unit has been connected to power supply. Steam ON/OFF Switch

In the OFF position the iron has no steam function, which is ideal for dry ironing applications. In the ON position all steam functions are available.

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 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.

Operation

1. Connect the power cord to outlet, the power light illuminates.

2. Press down tank lock button then take out water tank from stand. Turn clockwise then draw it out – you may need to invert the tank to facilitate this. Fill the tank but do not exceed the MAX level indication on the side.

3. Replace the limescale filter and slide the tank back into the iron base, making sure it "clicks" into place. Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature. Then turn the temperature dial to your desired setting. And the heating light will be illuminated.

Temperature settings

1.(one star) 80-120C Synthetic fibres/silk

2.(two star) 120-160C Wool

3.(three star) 160-200C Cotton/linen

Tips: to prevent shiny spots, iron the reverse side of the fabric for silk, wool and synthetic materials; and to prevent stains, avoid using the steam functions (put Steam ON/OFF switch in OFF position). Once the soleplate temperature has reached the preset temperature, the heating light will go out, press down Steam Button. The pump will start and after a few seconds the steam will come through. Please note when pressing the steam button for the first time at the start of the new ironing session, direct the iron away from garments to allow any small amounts of water from previous ironing sessions to be ejected.

NOTE: THE PUMP MAY MAKE A NOISE FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY PRIMED. YOU CAN PRIME THE PUMP A LITTLE QUICKER IF YOU HOLD THE HAND UNIT BELOW THE HEIGHT OF THE BASE - GRAVITY WILL GET THE STEAM THROUGH QUICKER!

At the beginning of the ironing session, you should iron the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature first, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

Tip: the interconnection cord can become quite hot after extended use, do not touch!

At any time during the ironing session, you can place the iron on the silicone cushion or on the heel rest (and have a nice cup of tea). Note: the steam output is 40-70g/min

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.

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.

aPure fillwoollen 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 and Maintainance

AFTER IRONING

1. Take out the water tank, remove the limescale filter and empty all the water out, replace the filter then place tank back into the iron base.

2. With the tank empty, press down the steam surge button button a couple of times to remove any remaining water in the interconnecting cord, then place the iron back on the base. Warning: the soleplate is still hot, be careful!

3. Turn the temperature dial back to 0 position and unplug from the mains socket. Allow the iron to completely cool before cleaning. Note: you can wipe the surface of unit clean with a soft cloth. Try not to dislodge the silicone cushion out of it's mountings because it is difficult to fit back!

Warning: do not immerse the steam iron or stand in water or other liquids.

AUTO-DESCALING FEATURE

There is a limescale filter inside the tank. The filter can absorb insoluble calcium ions and convert them to soluble natrium ions, which makes the water softer. This greatly reduces the build-up of limescale. However, if you do live in a hard water area, the life of your iron will increase significantly if you use bottled water.

Note: to keep the soleplate smooth, never let any metal materials rub against it.

REPLACE THE LIMESCALE FILTER EVERY 3 MONTHS OR MORE REGULARLY IF YOU LIVE IN A HARD WATER AREA. VISIT WWW.SWAN-BRAND.CO.UK FOR SPARE FILTERS

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 a n 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.
