FEATURES
Your iron has an Anti-Drip system and Auto-Off function.
Anti-Drip system:
This is to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is cold. During use, the anti-drip
system may emit a ‘clicking’sound when heating up or cooling down. This is normal and indicates
that the system is functioning correctly.
Auto-Off function:
Automatically switches off the steam iron if it has not been moved for a while, or if the iron is left
resting on the stand for approximately 8 mins.
Cordless function:
Unlock the power base lock to use as Cordless Steam Iron.
Put the steam iron on the power base for charging, remove the iron from base when the indicator light
goes off. The appliance is capable to operate as steam iron for approximately 40 seconds or can
discharge 10 bursts of steam when fully charged.

OPERATION
Filling the water tank
⚫Ensure that the iron is cold and not connected to mains power.
⚫Open the water filling inlet (4) by lifting the cap.
⚫Hold the iron in a tilted position and fill the water tank with plain water by using the measuring cup.
⚫CAUTION! DO NOT exceed the max level on the water tank.
⚫Close the water filling inlet (4) by pressing down the cap until you hear a click. Ensure the water tank is properly
closed to avoid water spillage.
NOTES: To avoid calcium deposits, we recommend using distilled water to fill the water tank.
IMPORTANT! To avoid damage or blockage of the steam iron, do not use any scented water or
additives.
Steam Ironing
⚫Fill the water tank with water.
⚫Position the iron vertically on its charging base, stand on a suitable flat stable surface.
⚫Ensure that the steam function is OFF: checked steam setting display (5) shows “0”.
⚫Connect the supply cord plug into a suitable mains power outlet socket, the BLUE Power indicator lamp on the
iron should illuminate.
⚫Turn the temperature dial (9) to a setting within the steam range
⚫When the indicator light is OFF, it means the iron is ready to use.
⚫Press the steam setting button (8) to select desired steam level.
Check steam setting display (5):
“0” – no steam
“1” – low steam
“2” – high steam
⚫Now steam ironing can begin.
Dry Ironing
⚫Position the iron vertically on its charging base, stand on a suitable flat stable surface.
⚫Ensure that the steam function is OFF: check steam level indicator is showing “0”.
⚫Connect the supply cord plug into a suitable mains power outlet socket, the BLUE Power indicator lamp on the
iron should illuminate.
⚫Turn the temperature dial (9) to a desired tempereature setting.
⚫When the indicator light is OFF, you may start dry ironing.
Steam spray
⚫Set the temperature dial (9) at MAX position, when the indicator goes off, press the spray button a couple of
times to moisten the garment. Before spraying make sure that there is enough water in the water tank.
NOTE: Do not spray water on silk.
Steam shot
⚫Set the temperature dial (9) at MAX position, when the indicator goes off, press the steam shot button to
instantly provide a powerful burst of steam to eliminate stubborn wrinkles.

⚫The steam shot button can also be used when holding the iron in a vertical position. This is useful for removing
creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.

Do not direct steam towards the body when ironing.
After ironing
⚫After use, rotate the temperature dial (9) to OFF position and disconnect the Power base (13) from mains power.
⚫Let the iron cool down and empty the water tank to prevent built up of any residue in the water tank.
Self-clean function
The self-cleaning function should be used on a regular basis, depending on usage and the hardness of water used in
the iron.
WARNING: Never pour white vinegar or an liquid cleaners into the water tank!

⚫Plug the appliance into a mains power outlet socket, set a temperature and leave in operation for at least two
minutes to dry the soleplate.

⚫Do not use alcohol, acetone, benzene, scourging cleaning agents etc., to clean the iron. Do not use hard brushes
or metallic objects.
⚫Remove any deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth. To avoid scratching the sole plate, never use a metallic
pad to clean the soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.
⚫To remove synthetic residue from the soleplate, iron over an old cotton rag in high heat setting.
⚫Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.
IRONING TIPS
Before you start ironing, always check whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the garment.
IMPORTANT! Always follow the ironing instructions attached to the garment.
⚫The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles first requiring the

lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibre.
⚫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 always 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 all times.
⚫Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set to steam position. Preferably set steam button to
the maximum position and use a dry cloth between the garment and the iron for protection.
⚫Do not touch plastic buttons on the garment with a hot iron because they may melt.
⚫Be careful around zippers and similar items to prevent the soleplate from scratching.
