Frequently Asked Questions - SI9021N SWAN

How do I use the steam function on my Swan SI9021N iron?

Fill the water tank up to the MAX line, plug in the iron, and set the temperature dial for the fabric. Once the iron reaches the selected temperature, press the steam burst button for extra steam or slide the steam control for continuous steam.

What type of water should I use in the iron?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup. Tap water may be used in areas with soft water, but avoid water with a high mineral content.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug the iron and let it cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for irons. Avoid using scouring pads.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Ensure the water tank is filled, the iron is set to a high enough temperature (above minimum for steam), and the steam control is open. If still no steam, try the self-clean function to remove blockages.

How do I descale the iron?

Use the self-clean function: fill the tank to MAX, set to high heat, unplug and hold vertically over a sink, press the self-clean button. Alternatively, use a descaling solution. Rinse with fresh water afterwards.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The iron automatically turns off after 8 minutes of inactivity to prevent accidents. To restart, simply move the iron. This feature saves energy and enhances safety.

Can I iron delicate fabrics with this iron?

Yes, the temperature dial allows you to select low settings for delicates like silk and synthetics. Always test on a hidden area first and use a pressing cloth if needed.

What should I do if the iron drips water?

The anti-drip system prevents water from leaking at low temperatures. If dripping occurs, ensure the soleplate is hot enough before using steam, and avoid overfilling the tank. If problem persists, clean the iron.

How do I store the iron?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Empty the water tank and wrap the cord around the base. Store upright in a dry place to prevent damage.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Contact Swan customer service or visit the official website for original soles, water tanks, and other parts. Use only genuine accessories to maintain safety and performance.

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. Press both Handle Release Buttons at the same time and put the handle down (fig 1). Connect the power cord to outlet, the power light illuminates. NOTE: The iron might not operate unless handle is in DOWN position
2. Press the tank lock button then take out water tank from stand. Remove the limescale filter. Fill the tank but do not exceed the MAX level indication on the side (fig 2 - 6).
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.

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!

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 60-90g/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.

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.

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 (fig 2 - 6).
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
