Frequently Asked Questions - SI9020TTN SWAN

How do I fill the water tank on my Swan SI9020TTN iron?

Unplug the iron and set the steam control to "Dry" or "0". Open the water tank cap, tilt the iron slightly, and fill with water using a jug. Do not fill above the "MAX" mark. Close the cap securely.

Can I use tap water in my Swan SI9020TTN iron?

Yes, but depending on your water hardness, frequent use of tap water may cause scale buildup. To prolong the life of your iron, it is recommended to use a mixture of 50% distilled and 50% tap water, or use a descaling solution periodically.

How do I use the steam burst function?

Ensure the iron is hot enough (temperature setting at least two dots) and water is in the tank. Press the steam burst button (usually marked with an asterisk) firmly. Allow a few seconds between bursts for the iron to reheat.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check if the water tank is empty. Make sure the steam control is not set to "Dry" and the temperature is high enough (two dots or more). If still no steam, the iron may need descaling to clear mineral deposits.

What does the anti-drip system do?

The anti-drip system prevents water from leaking when the soleplate is not hot enough. It automatically stops water flow below a certain temperature, ensuring no drips on your clothes.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and cool the iron. For light residue, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn buildup, use a soft cloth with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. You can also use the self-clean function to flush out impurities.

What is the self-clean function and how do I use it?

The self-clean function helps remove scale and residue. Fill the tank to max, set the iron to maximum temperature, and when the thermostat cuts off, unplug it. Hold the iron over a sink and press the self-clean button. Steam and water will flush out impurities.

Does the iron have auto shut-off?

Yes, the Swan SI9020TTN features auto shut-off for safety. It will turn off if left horizontal for 30 seconds or vertical for 8 minutes. To restart, simply pick it up or move it.

What temperature should I use for different fabrics?

Refer to the fabric guide on the iron: Nylon/Silk (low), Wool (medium), Cotton/Linen (high). When in doubt, start with a low setting and increase. Always check garment care labels.

How should I store my iron after use?

Allow the iron to cool completely. Empty any remaining water from the tank. Wrap the cord loosely around the heel rest or use the cord storage. Store upright on a stable surface.

Ironing Temperature Setting Guide

1. Follow the ironing instructions on the garment label. If there is no instruction label, but you know what kind of fabric it is, please refer to the fabric setting chart described opposite.
2. The fabric setting chart is only valid for plain fabrics and not for materials to which finishes, glosses etc, have been applied. Textiles to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, crinkle, relief etc.) is best ironed at a lower temperature.
3. First sort laundry according to ironing temperature setting guide: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
4. The iron heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing articles that need to be ironed at the lowest temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.
5. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the most delicate fibres, i.e. the lowest temperature. If, for example, an article consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, according to the fabric setting chart it should be ironed for polyester.
6. If you do not know what kind of fabric the article is made of, iron a piece of the material which is not visible when you wear it to find out the appropriate temperature for your articles.
7. Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) should be ironed with the iron setting to steam ironing position. It is advisable to set the selection control button to "COTTON" position and use a dry pressing cloth.
8. When steam ironing woolen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. You may prevent this by turning the article inside out and ironing the reverse side.
9. After using steam ironing for cotton fabrics, do not iron articles requiring a lower temperature (such as nylon etc.) immediately. It is advisable to adjust the selection button to the lower setting, waiting for about 2-4 minutes until the blue indicator light turns off, and then you can start ironing.

Important Hints

Do not fill water tank with vinegar, starch, chemically descaled water or descaling agents.

Fill Water Tank

I. Press the water tank lock upwards and slide the detachable water tank outwards from the base.
2. Take the filter upwards out from the water fill hole. (You can take the filter out of the opening for filling water into water tank, or fill water into water tank directly with the filter already in the opening).
3. Fill the water tank up to or below the "MAX" fill line with clean tap water.
4. Replace filter back into water filling hole.
5. Replace the water tank into the base unit again. It will be locked in place with the base when a "click" sound is heard.
6. Always pour out the remaining water after use.
7. When the water level reaches a low level or is empty, pump will provide sound to indicate refilling. You must stop using the appliance immediately and refill the water tank as mentioned above.

Note:

When the water level in the tank falls below a certain level, the pump will make a noise. When this happens, stop ironing and refill the tank.

Steam Ironing

I. Fill water tank with clean tap water referring to the filling instructions. For better performance, please immerse filter in water for several minutes before installing it into the water tank.

1. Connect the appliance to a suitable socket outlet. The power indicator light (red) “ ⏻ will light up on the iron unit showing that the unit has been connected to the power supply.

2. Set selection button to desired position according to fabric setting chart on page 08. The setting indicator light (blue) on the iron unit will blink slowly to indicate the unit is heating up. When the blue indicator light changes to a steady light and an audible “Bi” signal is produced, the desired temperature has been reached and it is ready for steam ironing. During use, temperature indicator light will sometimes blink and sometimes be a steady light. This does not indicate a defect or hazard - this is because the appliance temperature is constant.

3. Before first use, clean the iron unit as following methods: Take the iron up from the base unit, press steam button underneath the handle to allow steam ON for 30 seconds, and then OFF for 30 seconds. This cycle should be repeated for 2 times. When blue indicator light stop blinking, it is ready for use.

a. For first use, it is normal that a slight vibrating sound may occur from the electrical pump inside the base unit for a few seconds when steam ironing is started. It is because there is air inside the filter. It will stop when the air inside the filter has been pumped out. If this abnormal condition continues to happen for more than 60 seconds, please check whether water tank and filter is assembled correctly.
b. When set at "NYLON" position, no steam is released since dry ironing is most suitable.
c. When fabric setting is set at "POLYESTER" / "RAYON" / "COTTON" "LINEN", steam will automatically vary according to sole-plate temperature. The pump will stop working and no steam released when the sole-plate temperature becomes too low. It will resume once reheated to the desired temperature.

Dry Ironing

1. Connect the appliance to a suitable socket outlet and lay handle down. Power indicator light (red) “ 🍼on iron unit will light up indicating that the unit has been connected to the power supply.
