Frequently Asked Questions - SI30110BLKN SWAN

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the water inlet cover. Tilt the iron and pour water using a measuring cup. Do not exceed the MAX line. Close the cover.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or de-mineralized water to prevent scaling. Tap water may be used if it is soft, but regular descaling is recommended.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mixture of vinegar and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What does the self-cleaning function do?

The self-cleaning function flushes out mineral deposits from the steam chamber. Fill the tank to MAX, heat the iron to maximum, then hold the self-clean button while moving the iron horizontally.

Does this iron have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, the iron automatically turns off if left horizontal for 30 seconds or vertical for 8 minutes.

Can I use the iron without water?

Yes, you can use it as a dry iron. Set the temperature according to the fabric and press the steam button to avoid accidental steam release.

What is the best temperature setting for delicate fabrics?

For synthetics (nylon, polyester) use low heat. For silk and wool use medium heat. For cotton and linen use high heat. Always check garment care labels.

How do I use the vertical steam function?

Hang the garment, set the iron to high temperature, press the steam boost button while holding the iron vertically a few inches from the fabric. Use for removing wrinkles from hanging clothes or curtains.

Why is the iron not producing steam?

Ensure the water tank is filled, the temperature dial is set to steam zone (high heat), and the iron is heated. If still no steam, use the self-clean function.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as soleplates, water tanks, and buttons can be ordered from authorized Swan service centers or through the official website.

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 strange 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

Hold the iron in a tilted position, then add clean water into the water tank. 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.

Press iller cap down and you will hear a click if it is in the correct position.

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.

Make sure steam control is on dry (O) position then place the iron vertically

Once soleplate temperature has reached the preset temperature, indicator light will turn off, then set steam dial to your desired steam output or dry position and begin ironing. WARNING: Do not touch hot soleplate at any time during ironing. It will be very hot.

Press spray button a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make sure that there is enough water in water tank. A few presses might be required to pump the water through on first use

Steam shot function is best used at max temperature, as it helps remove stubborn creases.

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.

"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 in 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 & MAINTENANCE

Self cleaning:

Set the temperature control to the maximum position, press the self clean button for about 1 minute, steam will be emitted to clean the steam chamber. Use this function once every two weeks or so.

Limescale:

If you live in a particularly hard water area, we recommend using bottled or distilled water. Limescale will severely reduce the working life of your iron!

After ironing

Disconnect power supply and empty the water left in water tank. Reconnect the power supply and disconnect after indicator light goes off, this dries the soleplate.

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. Clean the upper part of iron with a damp cloth. Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.

SWAN BRAND HERITAGE

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 an element with a handle, which plugged straight into a light bulb socket. And at a mere 14 shillings (70p), it meant many households could own a prestigious Swan Product.
