Frequently Asked Questions - SI9020N SWAN

How do I descale the iron?

To descale, fill the water tank with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water. Turn the iron on to high heat and press the self-clean button (if available) or allow steam to vent. Repeat if necessary. Rinse with clean water afterwards.

What type of water should I use?

For best performance and to avoid scale buildup, use distilled or demineralised water. Tap water can be used but may require more frequent descaling depending on hardness.

Why is the iron not producing steam?

Check that the water tank is filled above the minimum level and that the temperature dial is set to the steam range (usually 2-3 dots). Ensure the iron is not in a dry-iron-only mode. If still no steam, descale the iron.

How does the auto shut-off work?

The iron automatically switches off after a period of inactivity (usually 8 minutes upright or 30 seconds on its side). This is a safety feature to prevent accidents. To reset, simply shake or move the iron.

Can I use the iron without water?

Yes, the iron can be used for dry ironing. Simply set the temperature dial to the desired fabric setting and do not fill the water tank. Make sure the steam control is off.

What fabrics can I iron?

The iron has temperature settings for various fabrics: synthetics (low), silk/wool (medium), cotton/linen (high). Always check garment labels and test on an inconspicuous area first.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug the iron and let it cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For sticky residue, use a mild detergent or a dedicated soleplate cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Why is water leaking from the iron?

This could be due to overfilling the water tank, using the iron before it has reached the correct temperature, or having the steam control set too high. Allow the iron to heat up fully and adjust settings. If problem persists, descale.

How long is the warranty?

Swan typically offers a 2-year warranty on this model. Check your user manual or contact customer support for exact terms. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase.

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Spare parts such as soleplates, water tanks, and power cords can be obtained from Swan's official website or authorized service centers. Use the model number SI9020N to find compatible parts.

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 power light illuminates.

2. Press the tank lock button then take out water tank from stand. Remove the limescale filter. Fill the tank but do 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. 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 (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
