before rst use
Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before heating the
iron.
Wipe over the soleplate with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit. Remove 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 directly under a tap.
Always use the measuring cup supplied.
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.

lling your iron
Never use fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals or additives.
Ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
Set the steam control to the no steam position ( ).
Place the iron on its heel on a at, stable, dry, heat resistant and level surface and
open the water tank inlet cover.
Using the supplied measuring cup, ll the water tank with ordinary tap water. To avoid
air locks, tilt the iron slightly while lling it.
Don’t ll the iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water level
by standing the iron on its heel.
When the iron is lled close the water tank inlet cover.

The backlit temperature control display allows you to select from seven fabric types by
using the + or – buttons.
For example, to select the COTTON setting:
Press the increase temperature (+) button until COTTON is selected. The iron will
beep each time the button is pressed.
Your iron will begin to heat up and the temperature indicator icon ( ) will ash.
When your iron beeps once and the temperature indicator icon stops ashing your
iron is at the correct temperature and you can begin ironing.
To decrease the temperature of your iron (e.g from COTTON to SILK, press the
decrease temperature button (-) until SILK is selected.
Note: When the fabric type is changed from a type that requires a high temperature
to one that requires a lower temperature setting (e.g. from COTTON to SILK), the
temperature indicator icon will start to ash. This indicates that your iron is cooling
down to the new setting. To ensure that your iron has cooled to the selected
temperature and is not too hot, wait until your iron beeps once and the temperature
indicator icon stops ashing before ironing.

using your iron
We recommend that you:
Start with fabrics that require lower temperatures such as SYNTHETIC, SILK, etc.
Finish ironing with those fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures such as
DENIM, LINEN, etc.
If you iron a fabric made of a blend of bres set your iron for the most delicate bre
e.g. VELVET or SILK.
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 and zippers, as these
will scratch the surface of the soleplate.

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 do not need to empty it.
Set the steam control to the no steam position ( ).
Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
Select the desired fabric setting using the temperature increase/decrease buttons
(+ or –).
Your iron will begin to heat up and the temperature indicator icon will ash.
When your iron beeps once and the temperature indicator icon stops ashing your
iron is ready to use.
Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow the 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. 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. Select the desired fabric setting using the temperature increase/decrease buttons
(+ or –). For steam ironing, the fabric setting must be either WOOL, COTTON,
DENIM or LINEN. If you select any other fabric type, your iron will not produce
steam.
Note: When the iron is in the steam range, the steam range icon will appear on
the display. There are two steam icons depending on which fabric setting has been
selected. The WOOL and COTTON fabric settings produce less volume of steam
than the DENIM and LINEN settings.
4. Your iron will begin to heat up and the temperature indicator icon will ash.
5. When your iron beeps once and the temperature indicator icon stops ashing your
iron is ready to use.
6. Adjust the steam control for the desired steam output.
7. Move the steam control lever towards the maximum steam position ( ) to increase
the amount of steam, or towards the no steam position ( ) to decrease the amount
of steam.
8. The iron will automatically begin to steam as soon as the iron is used.
9. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the no steam
position ( ).

Shot of Steam
When using the shot of steam function the fabric setting must be either WOOL, COTTON,
DENIM or LINEN. If you select any other fabric type, your iron will not produce steam.
Wait for 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 into the fabric.
Vertical Steam Ironing
Never iron garments when they are being worn.
Your iron can be used for vertical steam ironing. This process can be applied to curtains,
dresses on hangers etc.
1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Select the desired fabric setting using the temperature increase/decrease buttons
(+ or –). For steam ironing, the fabric setting must be either WOOL, COTTON,
DENIM or LINEN. If you select any other fabric type, your iron will not produce
steam.
Note: When the iron is in the steam range, the steam range icon will appear on
the display. There are two steam icons depending on which fabric setting has been
selected. The WOOL and COTTON fabric settings produce less volume of steam
than the DENIM and LINEN settings.
4. Your iron will begin to heat up and the temperature indicator icon will ash. When
your iron beeps once and the temperature indicator icon stops ashing your iron is
ready to use.
5. Hold the 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.
Precondition Steam
Keep children away from the front of the iron and do not hold your ngers in
front of the soleplate when using the precondition steam feature.
For difcult areas (e.g. collars, cuffs, pockets, etc.) press the shot of steam button. The
special steam channels in the soleplate deliver more steam around the front part of the
iron preconditioning the fabric before you iron it for easier and faster ironing.

using your iron
Spraying
The spray function will only operate when there is water in the water tank.
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.
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.
Dry Tank Alert
Your iron will warn you if the water tank requires lling. The dry tank icon ( ) will appear
on the display when the water tank requires lling. Follow the instructions on page 5 to
rell the water tank.
Anti-Drip Function
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 Filter
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.
Safety Auto Shut-off Feature
ALWAYS turn the iron off and disconnect from the power source after use.
NEVER leave the iron unattended with the Auto Shut-off function in operation.
The iron will shut off if it has not been used for 10 minutes when resting on its heel, or
after 30 seconds with the iron resting on its soleplate. The AUTO OFF cursor on the
display will start to ash and your iron will sound a series of beeps. This sequence will be
repeated whilst the iron is in auto shut-off mode. To restart the iron, gently move it until
the AUTO OFF cursor turns off.

Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior
of your iron because they will damage the surface.
Cleaning the Soleplate on your Iron
After each use, ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply
socket. Allow the iron to cool fully before wiping the soleplate with a damp soft cloth. If
polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while hot. If necessary,
allow unit to cool fully and wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth and a small amount of
methylated spirits. Remove the methylated spirit with a damp cloth. Ensure soleplate is
dried thoroughly.
Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning
system. Never press the self-clean button when ironing.
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.
Ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
Set the steam control to the no steam position ( ).
Using the measuring cup, ll the iron with water to the MAX ll level.
Stand the iron on its heel rest, plug in and switch on at the mains supply.
Select the LINEN fabric setting using the temperature increase button.
When your iron beeps once and the temperature indicator icon stops ashing your
iron is ready to use.
Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink with the sole-plate facing downwards.
Press the ‘SELF CLEAN’ button. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes
in the soleplate, along with any impurities.
Release the ‘SELF CLEAN’ button after one minute or when the water tank is empty.
Stand the iron on its heel rest, plug into the supply and switch on. When the
temperature indicator icon stops ashing, iron an old piece of cloth to allow any
remaining water to escape.
After use, switch off and unplug the iron at the mains supply and allow to cool fully.
Empty any remaining water.
