Frequently Asked Questions - SI16410N SWAN

How do I descale the Swan SI16410N iron?

To descale, fill the water tank with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Set the iron to maximum steam and let it steam for a few minutes. Then, empty and rinse with clean water. Repeat if necessary.

Can I use tap water in this iron?

Yes, but for optimal performance and to reduce scale buildup, it is recommended to use a mixture of tap water and distilled water, or use demineralized water.

How does the auto shut-off feature work?

The iron automatically switches off if left unattended for approximately 8 minutes in the upright position or 30 seconds when placed horizontally or tipped over.

What is the steam boost function?

The steam boost delivers an intense burst of steam (up to 120 g/min) to remove stubborn wrinkles. Press the steam burst button fully for maximum effect.

How do I use the vertical steam function?

Hold the iron vertically and press the steam burst button. Keep the iron at least 15 cm away from the fabric. Ideal for removing wrinkles from hanging clothes, curtains, and upholstery.

What does the anti-drip system do?

The anti-drip system prevents water leakage when the iron is at low temperatures, ensuring no water spots on your clothes.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a specialty soleplate cleaner. Do not use metal scouring pads.

What type of soleplate is on the SI16410N?

It has a non-stick ceramic coating that glides smoothly over fabrics and resists scratches.

Can I dry iron without steam?

Yes, set the steam control to the dry iron position (usually a '0' or 'dry' setting) and select the appropriate temperature.

How long is the power cord?

The power cord is 2.0 meters long, providing convenient reach to outlets.

HOW TO USE

Before first use

Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the sole plate or base [1].

Put the iron on its base and ensure the base lock button (2) is in the LOCKED position. Heat up the iron to maximum temperature. Put the base lock button in the UNLOCKED position and iron over a piece of damp linen, or other high temperature cloth (eg denim or tea towel) for several minutes for the purpose of removing any residue on the sole plate.

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

Open the water tank filler (7), then add clean water into the water tank (use the beaker not the tap). 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. NOTE: IF YOU OVER FILL THE TANK THE WATER WILL LEAK BACK OUT AGAIN WHEN YOU PUT THE IRON UPRIGHT.

Press down cover of water tank 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 (10) will illuminate.

Make sure steam control (6) is on dry [crossed out steam symbol] position then place the iron vertically

Once sole plate 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 the sole plate 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 sole plate temperature can drop. To prevent water coming from the sole plate, 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 a steam position. Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.

Note: when ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.

IRONING TIPS FOR CORDLESS IRONS

Using a cordless iron requires a slightly different technique than using a corded iron.

• Remember: Once the iron is removed from the base, it is disconnected from the electricity supply. The iron uses residual heat in the sole plate to create steam and smooth creases.
• Place the iron back on its base promptly after each ironing run.
• Once back on its base, the indicator light will illuminate and go out again once it has reached temperature. The iron will usually reheat in a few seconds.
• The length of time the iron stays at best temperature depends on the material being ironed, the temperature setting selected and how often the steam shot button is used.
• If you are ironing large or heavy fabrics on high temperature with frequent use of the steam shot, then it may be better to use the iron in corded mode (with the base locked to the hand unit).

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

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 sole plate.

Let the iron completely cool down, then wipe flakes and any other deposits on the sole plate 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 sole plate.

SELF CLEANING

The iron has a self clean function. This is useful from time to time to clean out the internal steam ways etc. To use the self clean function, heat up to max and hold the iron away from any fabric etc. Push the steam switch to the SELF CLEAN position for up to 10 seconds.

DE-SCALING

It will be necessary to de-scale the iron regularly. The frequency of de-scaling will depend on where you live. This is easy to do using a lemon juice solution. One part lemon juice to ten parts water.

Fill the iron with the solution, switch on and allow to come to temperature. Press and hold the self clean button until most of the solution has worked through the iron. Empty remaining solution from tank then repeat the above procedure with clean water.

There are also many proprietary de-scaling products available from supermarkets.

If you live in a particularly hard water area, using bottled or distilled water will greatly reduce the need for de-scaling and increase the life of your iron.

SWAN BRAND HERITAGE

Vintage iron iron with coiled cord and handle (no text or symbols visible)

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 s hillings (70p), it meant many households could own a prestigious Swan Product.
