before first use
Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before operating your
steam generator.
Wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth.
Position your steam generator iron horizontally on your ironing board (if it is large enough)
or on a heat resistant and secure surface at the same height as your ironing board.
Before connecting your steam generator to the mains supply, make sure your supply
voltage is the same as the one indicated on your steam generator.
When you rst use your steam generator, 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.
When you rst use your steam generator, iron an old towel to ensure that any residues
inside the iron are not transferred to your laundry.

filling your steam generator
Never add fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals to the water in
your steam generator. Use cold tap water only in your steam generator.
1. Remove the water tank by pressing the water tank release button underneath the
tank.
2. Slide the water tank out.
3. Open the water tank lling cover.
4. Fill the water tank with cold tap water to the MAX mark.
5. Close the water tank lling cover and slide the water tank back into the base unit until
it latches securely into place.
Note that when you use your steam generator for the rst time or after rinsing the boiler, a
lot of water will be pumped out of the water tank. Rell the tank as required.
Filling during use
You can ll your steam generator during use without having to remove the water tank.
The low water indicator light will ash to let you know that the water tank needs lling.
Simply open the water tank lling cover and add water as required. Do not ll past the
MAX indicator mark on the tank.

using your steam generator
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.
• 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 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.
If you do need to reduce the temperature of your steam generator, wait until the
temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again before ironing. This will
ensure that your steam generator has cooled to the lower temperature and is not too hot
for the fabric being ironed.
For example, you have been ironing using the lll setting and wish to change to the ll
setting:
1. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to the ll setting. Initially, the
temperature indicator light will be off because your steam generator is still at the
higher temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on and then goes out again. Your
steam generator has now cooled to the correct temperature.

Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow your steam generator to reach the
selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate. During use the steam pipe
and iron rest will become very hot.
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 the water tank with water.
2. Plug your steam generator into the mains supply and press the on/off button to switch
your steam generator on.
3. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to between the ll and the
maximum heat (MAX) setting.
4. The temperature indicator light will light up as your steam generator heats up. When
the temperature indicator light goes out your steam generator is at the selected
temperature. The temperature indicator light will turn on and off during ironing as
your steam generator maintains the correct temperature.
5. You will hear a buzzing sound as the pump inside your steam generator operates and
transfers water from the water tank to the boiler where steam is produced. Set the
desired amount of steam as described below in the Adjusting the amount of steam
section. The steam indicator light will ash as your steam generator heats the water
to create steam. When the steam indicator light stops ashing, your steam generator
is ready to use. The steam indicator light will occasionally ash during ironing. This is
normal.
6. With the soleplate in contact with the garment, press the steam trigger for a couple of
seconds. It is not necessary to hold the trigger down continuously as steam will still
be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the trigger has been released. If
more steam is required, press the steam trigger again.
Always release the trigger and allow any residual steam to be released before
replacing the iron on its stand.
The pump will occasionally start and stop during ironing. This is normal
Adjusting the amount of steam
1. You can adjust the amount of steam using the steam control.
2. Turn the steam control clockwise to increase steam, or anticlockwise to decrease
steam. Steam can be switched off by turning it fully anticlockwise to OFF.

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.
1. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to the desired heat setting.
2. Turn the steam control fully anticlockwise to OFF.
3. When the temperature indicator light goes out your steam generator is ready to use.
The light will continue to turn on and off during ironing as your steam generator
maintains the soleplate temperature.
4. Iron your laundry without pressing the steam trigger or using the steam lock button.
Vertical steam ironing
Vertical steam ironing is especially useful for ironing items such as curtains while they are
hanging, or jackets, suits and coats.
Hold the iron in a vertical position and press the steam trigger as required.
Steam lock
To prevent fatigue, your steam generator can be set to produce steam without having to
constantly hold the steam trigger in the on position.
1. Slide the steam lock button forwards and steam will be continuously emitted from the
soleplate.
2. To stop, slide the steam lock button backwards. Always release the steam lock button
when you put the iron back onto the iron rest.
