Before using for the rst time
Warning: Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before using
your iron.
Wipe over the soleplate with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit. Wipe off the
methylated spirit with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate thoroughly.
Before connecting your iron to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the
same as the one indicated on your iron.
When you rst use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for
the rst few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.
Cleaning your iron before use
Follow these simple steps to remove any impurities or residues inside your steam iron
that may be left over from the manufacturing process.
1. Follow the instructions under lling your iron and ll the water tank as described.
2. Empty the water tank to rinse out any foreign particles then rell it.
3. Follow the instructions under steam ironing. Set the temperature to the MAX
setting and the steam control to the high steam setting.
4. Iron an old piece of cloth (cotton or towelling is ideal) for a few minutes. While
ironing, press the steam button 4 or 5 times.
5. Any impurities will be ushed from your iron by the steam and absorbed by the
cloth. Your iron is now ready for use.
Filling your Iron
Never add fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals to the water in
your iron.
1. Ensure your iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
2. Set the steam control w to the off position (0).

3. Open the water tank inlet cover q.
4. Using a jug, ll the water tank with ordinary tap water. To avoid air locks, tilt your
iron slightly while lling it.
5. Don’t ll the iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water
level by standing the iron on its heel.
6. When the iron is lled, close the water tank inlet cover.
We recommend that you:
• Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g.
synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures
and steam—such as cotton and linen.
• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of bres set the temperature of your iron to the
most delicate bre.
• Never use the burst of steam button on silks or synthetics.
• When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and
the soleplate cleaned more frequently.
• Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs or zippers as they
will scratch the soleplate of your iron.
We recommend that you:
Your iron takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the temperature setting on
your iron, you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.
This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It
takes your iron longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the reason we
recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.
If you do need to reduce the temperature of your iron, wait until the temperature
indicator light goes out and then comes on again before ironing. This will ensure that
your iron has reached the lower temperature and is not too hot for the fabric being
ironed.
For example, you have been ironing using the lll setting and want to change to the
ll setting:
1. Move the temperature control dial to the ll setting. Initially, the temperature
indicator light will be lit because your iron is still at a higher temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light goes out and then comes on again. Your
iron has now cooled to the correct temperature.
Ironing without steam
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to ll the water tank. However, if water
is already in the water tank, you don’t need to empty it.
1. Set the steam control w to the no steam position (0).
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Rotate the temperature control y until the desired setting is aligned with the dial
pointer a.
4. When the temperature indicator light t comes on, your iron is ready to use.
Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow your iron to reach the
selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should
be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should
never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Set the temperature control y to the lll setting. The hotter your iron, the more
steam is generated.
4. When the temperature indicator light u comes on your iron is ready to use. The

5
temperature indicator light will turn on and off during ironing as your iron maintains
the correct temperature.
5. Adjust the steam control w to select the desired steam output.
6. Move the steam control to the high steam ( ) setting to increase the amount of
steam, or towards the off (0) setting to decrease the amount of steam.
7. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the off (0)
position.
Burst of steam
The temperature control dial must be set within the ll and lll setting. Wait
several seconds between each press of the steam button.
Press the shot of steam button e whenever you have a stubborn crease that needs
extra steam. Steam will burst from the holes in the soleplate of your iron into the fabric.
Vertical steam ironing
Never iron garments when they are being worn.
1. Prepare your iron as for steam ironing.
2. Hold your iron 15cm from the fabric.
3. Press the shot of steam button e as required. Wait several seconds between
each press of the button.
Spraying
The water spray can be used to help iron heavy fabrics or difcult areas (collars,
pockets, sleeves, creases, etc). It can also be used when ironing delicate fabrics which
cannot be steam ironed.
Make sure there is water in the tank. Press the spray button r to produce a spray of
water.
Anti-drip feature
When the temperature of your iron is insufcient to create steam, the supply of water is
cut off automatically to avoid any drips from the soleplate.
Anti-scale lter
Your iron is tted with a permanent anti-scale lter. This lter is xed and cannot be
removed for cleaning.
The lter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale inside your iron. Limescale
occurs during steam ironing due to water hardness.
Water hardness varies from one area to another. The effectiveness of the lter will
depend on how ‘hard’ your water is.
Care and Cleaning
Warning: Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean
the exterior of your iron.
Allow your iron to completely cool down and wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If
polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while your iron is still hot.
Wipe over the rest of your iron with a soft damp cloth then wipe dry.
Self-cleaning
Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning
system. Never press the self-clean button when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function once
every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be
used more frequently.
1. Ensure your iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
2. Set the steam control w to the no steam (0) position.
3. Fill your iron with water to the MAX level.
4. Stand your iron on its heel rest, plug in and switch on at the mains supply.

5. Set the temperature control yto the highest (MAX) setting. Allow your iron to
heat up until the temperature indicator light u comes on.
6. Unplug your iron and hold it over a sink with the soleplate facing downwards.
7. Press and hold the self-clean button t. Hot water and steam will be ejected from
the holes in the soleplate along with any impurities.
8. Release the self-clean button after one minute or when the water tank is empty.
9. Stand your iron on its heel rest, plug it in to the mains supply socket and switch on.
When the temperature indicator light comes on, iron an old piece of cloth to allow
any remaining water to escape.
10. After use, switch off and unplug your iron from the mains supply and allow it to fully
cool. Empty out any remaining water.
Cleaning the steam holes
To remove any build-up in or around the steam holes which may affect steam
performance, use a cotton wool tip moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the
methylated spirits with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate.
Cleaning the exterior of your Iron
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
Storing
Warning: Allow your iron to completely cool before storing. Always store your iron
on its heel rest. Do not store your iron resting on its soleplate.
The Safe-Store™ heat indicator shows you when the soleplate of your iron has
cooled sufciently for it to be safe to store. If the strip is red, your iron is too hot. When
the words SAFE-STORE appear on the strip against a solid black background, the
soleplate is at a safe temperature for storing.
Never wrap the power cord around the soleplate. The cord can be neatly wrapped
around the heel of your iron.
