Important
Your steam generator takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the
temperature setting on your steam generator, 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 steam generator longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the
reason we recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.
Forexample,youhavebeenironingusingthe●●●settingandwishtochangetothe

1. Turn the temperature control dial ttosetthepointertothe●●setting.Initially,
the temperature indicator light wmay pulse while the unit adjust to the new
temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on solidly again. Your steam
generator has now cooled to the correct temperature.
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. Do not immerse the
appliance or power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Self-cleaning
Only activate the self-clean when you want to activate the self-cleaning
system. Never activate the self-clean function when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. The steam generator has an
intelligent reminder cleaning mode which activates after continuous steam ironing over
a total of 25 hours. If you are in a hard water area you can perform the cleaning cycle
sooner than the allocated 25 hours by following the steps below.
The cleaning indicator light qwill illuminate to remind users to clean the machine.
1. To activate the self-clean function, adjust the temperature control knob tto the
Max setting. Press and hold the self-clean button qfor 3 seconds. The clean
