BEFORE FIRST USE
1. It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced the first time the Digital Iron is used.
This will disappear quickly.
2. When using the Steam function for the first time, do not direct the steam towards the laundry,
as there could be debris from the steam vents.

FILLING WITH WATER
1. Make sure that both the Variable Steam Control and LCD screen are in the “OFF” position.
2. Hold the Digital Iron upright so that the waterfilling inlet is in a horizontal position.
3. Fill with water through the Water Filling Inlet until the water reaches the ‘MAX’ mark indicated
on the side of the Digital Iron. Never fill above the ‘MAX’ mark.

the type of fabric, please consult the following table.
NOTE: If the fabric consists of various kinds of fabrics, always select the temperature required by the
most delicate fabrics.

ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•Select the fabric setting and temperature indicator by pressing on the Electronic Temperature
Control.
FABRIC & TEMPERATUR E INDICATOR
•With each fabric selection, there is a corresponding light colour in the water tank as shown
above. Once fabric selection is made, the water tank will illuminate with the corresponding light
colour and start flashing until the selected temperature is reached.
STEAM IRONING
1. Place the Digital Iron in a vertical position, insert the plug into the mains electrical supply and
press the Electronic Temperature Control to select the low fabric setting.
2. Then press on the Electronic Temperature Control to the “high heat” marking. The words on the
LCD screen start blinking, indicating that the Digital Iron is heating up.
3. When the words stop blinking, the required set temperature has been reached and the Digital
Iron is ready to use.
4. During ironing, the words on the LCD screen automatically switch between ‘blinking’ and ‘not
blinking’ as the thermostat maintains the set temperature (you may continue ironing during this
process).
5. Turn the Steam Control Knob to the required position.
6. Steam is produced as soon as the Digital Iron is held horizontally.
SPRAYING
•Press the Spray Button to spray water on clothes as often as required.
NOTE: When using the water spray function, ensure that there is enough water in the water tank.
You may have to pump the Spray Button several times at first time in order to start the spraying
function.
BURST OR VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
•Press the Burst of Steam Button to generate a powerful burst of steam that will penetrate the
fabric and smooth the toughest of creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again.
•By pressing the Burst of Steam Button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains; hung
garments, etc.).
NOTE: The Burst of Steam function can only be used at high temperature. Stop the emission when
the words on the LCD screen start blinking; then start ironing again only after the words stop
blinking.

7
DRY IRONING
•For ironing without steam, follow the instruction in section ‘steam ironing’, however, the Steam
Control Knob should remain in the ‘OFF’ position (no steam).
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
•A special filter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents scale buildup in the
soleplate. The filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
NOTE: Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralized water makes the anticalc system ineffective
by altering its physicochemical characteristics.
ANTI-DRIPPING SYSTEM
•This Digital Iron is equipped with a ‘drip stop’ function: the Digital Iron automatically stops
steaming when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate.
•With the antidripping system you can iron even the most delicate of fabrics.
SELF-CLEANING SY STEM
The selfcleaning feature cleans the inside of the soleplate, removing impurities.
We recommend using it every 1015 days.
•Set the steam control switch to the OFF position (no steam).
•Fill the water tank to the MAX level.
•Set the temperature control to MAX heat temperature.
•Plug the Iron into the electrical socket.
•Place the Iron upright on a level, sturdy surface.
•Wait for the pilot light to turn off.
•Unplug the Iron from the electrical socket.
•Hold the Iron in a horizontal position over a sink.
•Press the SelfCleaning button down until the boiling water, steam and impurities come out of
the holes in the soleplate.
•When the soleplate has cooled down, wipe it with a damp cloth.
AUTO SHUT-OFF
•An electronic safety device will automatically switch the heating element off if the Digital Iron
has not been moved for more than 30 seconds in a horizontal position. If in a vertical position,
this will happen after 8 minutes. To indicate that the heating element has been switched off, the
LCD screen will start blinking.
•When picking up the Digital Iron again, the LCD screen will stop blinking. The words on the LCD
screen start blinking. This indicates that the Digital Iron is heating up again.
•Wait for the words to stop blinking. The Digital Iron will be ready for use once again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. After using, lift the Digital Iron with the filling hole pointing downwards to empty the remaining
water from the water tank.
2. Insert the plug into the electrical socket, and set the Temperature Control to ‘MAX’ for 12
minutes to evaporate the remaining water.
3. Thereafter unplug the Digital Iron from the mains electrical supply and allow it to cool down
completely before storing.
