Frequently Asked Questions - SI30170N SWAN

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the water inlet lid and fill using the included water cup. Do not exceed the MAX level. Close the lid securely.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent scale buildup. Avoid tap water with high mineral content.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check that the water tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to the steam zone (2-3 dots). Wait for the iron to heat up. If still no steam, try the self-clean function.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Allow the iron to cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mixture of vinegar and water on a cloth, then dry.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

If the iron is left upright and stationary for 8 minutes, or left on its soleplate for 30 seconds, it will automatically switch off for safety.

How do I use the steam boost?

Press the steam boost button firmly. It provides a powerful burst of steam to remove tough creases. Do not use too frequently.

Can I use the iron on delicate fabrics?

Yes, use the lower temperature settings. Avoid direct contact with the soleplate; use a pressing cloth if necessary.

How do I perform the self-clean function?

Fill the tank to MAX, plug in and set to high temperature. When ready, unplug and hold the iron horizontally over a sink. Press and hold the self-clean button until water and debris flow out.

What does the anti-drip system prevent?

The anti-drip valve prevents water droplets from leaking out when the iron is not at the correct temperature, protecting your clothes from water stains.

Is the iron suitable for vertical steaming?

Yes, you can steam hanging garments by holding the iron vertically and pressing the steam boost button. Ensure the iron is set to a high temperature.

GETTING STARTED

A QUICK WORD ABOUT LIME SCALE

Modern Steam Irons (like this one) give a much higher steam output than their counterparts from the 80s and 90s. That makes ironing a lot easier! However, to get this high performance, modern Steam Irons use high precision components inside. These can be ruined by excessive lime scale build up.

Depending on where you live, lime scale can have a major impact on the operational life and efficiency of steam irons. Have a quick look inside your kettle. If it has a lot of lime scale deposits, then we strongly recommend that you use bottled, filtered or distilled water in this iron.

Your Steam Generator iron is equipped with a removable filter that can prevent some lime scale from damaging the pump inside. However, it does have limits and is not covered by your warranty. Replacement filters are available from our website at www.swan-brand.com but, depending on where you live, a filter can last 2 years in Halifax or just 2 months in Bristol!

PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR USE:

• Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the sole plate.
• Remove tank & filter.
• IMMERSE THE FILTER IN WATER FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. This only needs to be done once (or when replacing with a new filter)
• Fill tank to below MAX level, refit filter and replace the tank. A CLICK sound will be heard to indicate tank is in place (see image)
• Connect the iron to the mains supply and press the select button to the desired setting.

- Note: It is normal for a slight odour to come from the unit during the first use. This is due to evaporation of light oils used to preserve components during manufacture. The odour will disappear after first use.

GETTING STARTED

Operating Modes

When the iron is powered up, you have 3 modes available to you.

1. Eco mode. Lower power mode. Useful for ironing garments that don't need high temperatures
2. Max mode. Most commonly used for general ironing.
3. Self clean mode. For clearing any lime scale deposits from the sole plate

Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the 3 different operating modes.

HOW TO USE

PRIMING THE PUMP

OK so your Steam Generator Iron is now switched on and heating up nicely. When the indicator on the display stops flashing, it has reached temperature.

1. Lift the iron from the base
2. Hold it lower than the base (on first time use like this, gravity helps to get water to the hand unit more quickly)
3. Press and HOLD the steam release button (4) for up to 40 seconds
4. The pump will make a vibration noise that will become quieter as it becomes primed with water.
5. When fully primed and ready, steam [and lots of it] will come from the hand unit and the pump will make a quiet pulsing noise.
6. If this is the first time use, we recommend ironing a piece of scrap linen or cotton material to ensure any residual material from the manufacturing process is removed from the iron and sole plate.
7. Your new iron is now primed and ready for work!

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

Please refer to the ironing temperature guide above. When you begin your ironing session, start with the LOWER temperature fabrics first because the iron takes longer to cool down than it does to heat up.

If you need to go from high temperature to low temperature then set the thermostat to lower temperature and wait until the display stops flashing (NOTE: there is no steam function on the very low setting)

DRY IRONING

If the garment requires dry ironing then don't press the steam release button during ironing. On the lower temperature setting eg NYLON the steam function is not available, since the sole plate doesn't get hot enough to produce steam at this temperature.

If you are unsure about the correct setting for your iron or if the garment label is missing then try ironing a small inconspicuous area of the garment first.

HOW TO USE

TANK LEVEL

The tank should hold enough water to fuel even the longest ironing session but keep your eye on it. It's always best to refill the tank before it becomes completely empty. If the pump noise increases, it is a sure sign that the tank is empty!

After refilling the tank, you may need to prime the pump again. Hold the hand unit below the base and press/hold the steam release button. It should only take a few seconds to prime the pump - and you're ready to go again!

If you need to refill the tank more than twice during a single ironing session, then some pondering on the life choices you have made that have lead to the existential horror of having such a back log of ironing to do might be in order (our service line cannot help with this).

VERTICAL STEAM IRONING

• Follow the steam ironing process, and then hold the iron in vertical position about 5cm to 15cm away from the hanging fabrics. Press the steam release button, which will create vertical steam.
• This feature is especially used for removing creases from hanging clothes and curtains.
• Never direct steam toward people or animals
  • The room should be ventilated.
  • Note: Never block the steam hose.

AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE

For safety reasons, the product shuts down when the steam iron is not moved for approximately. 2 minutes horizontally, and approximately. 8 minutes vertically.

When the automatic shutdown feature activates, the power indicator and the heat indicator will flash. Power indicator and heat indicator flashes 5 times, the product turns off.

AFTER USE

When you have finished ironing:

• Unplug the product from the mains supply and allow to fully cool.
• If you are using tap water then remove the tank and empty the water out, then refit the tank.
• If using bottled, filtered or distilled water you can leave the water in the tank for a few days until your next ironing session
• The outside of the iron can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution
• Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of the iron
• Never immerse the base or hand unit in water
• Never run the base or hand unit under the tap

DE-SCALING

We highly recommend using bottled water as it is inexpensive and it could be a long time before you need to de-scale the product. In certain areas of the UK, the iron can become scaled up after only a few weeks!
