before first use
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.
Fill the water tank and then empty it. This will rinse out any foreign particles remaining in
the water tank from the manufacturing process. Never ll your iron by holding it directly
under a tap, always use a jug.
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.

6
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 to the no steam position (0).
3. Open the water tank inlet cover.
4. Fill the water tank with ordinary tap water. To avoid air locks, tilt your iron slightly
while lling it.
5. Don’t ll your iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water
level by standing your iron on its heel.
6. When your iron is lled, close the water tank inlet cover.

7
using your iron
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.
Important
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 comes on and then goes off 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 not be lit because your iron is still at a higher temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again. Your iron
has now cooled to the correct temperature.

using your iron
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 to the off (0) position.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Rotate the temperature control dial until the desired setting is aligned with the dial
pointer.
4. The temperature indicator light will illuminate while your iron is heating up. When the
light goes out, 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 dial to the lll setting. The hotter your iron, the more
steam is generated.
4. The temperature indicator light will illuminate. When the temperature indicator light
goes out your iron is ready to use. The temperature indicator light will turn on and off
during ironing as your iron maintains the correct temperature.
5. Your iron has three steam settings LO, HI and off (0). Adjust the steam control to
select the desired steam output.
6. 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 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.

9
Vertical steam ironing
Never iron garments when they are being worn.
Your iron can be used for vertical steam ironing curtains, dresses on hangers etc.
1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the lll setting. The hotter your iron, the more
steam is generated.
4. The temperature indicator light will illuminate to show that your iron is heating. When
the temperature indicator light goes out, your iron is ready to use.
5. Hold your iron 15cm (6 inches) from the fabric.
6. Press the shot of steam button. The steam will penetrate the fabric removing the
creases. To apply more steam press the shot of steam button again. Wait several
seconds between each press of the button.
Spraying
The spray function will only operate when there is water in the water tank.
1. 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.
2. Simply press the button as required to produce a spray of water. If the spray is being
used for the rst time, or if the iron has been standing for some time, you may need
to press the spray button a few times before it works correctly.
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.

care and cleaning
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior
of your iron because they will damage the surface.
Self-cleaning
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 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 dial to the highest (MAX) setting. Allow your iron to heat
up until the temperature indicator light goes out.
6. Unplug your iron and hold it over a sink with the soleplate facing downwards.
7. Turn the steam control to the SC setting and then pull the steam control out of the
iron. Shake the iron vigorously while continuing to hold it over the sink. Hot water and
steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate along with any impurities.
8. Ret the steam control after ve minutes 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 goes out, 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.

11
Cleaning the soleplate of your Iron
After each use, allow your iron to completely cool down before wiping 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. If necessary, allow your iron to completely cool down then wipe over
the soleplate with a soft cloth moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated
spirits with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate.
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.
