Electrical Information
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage of your electricity supply is
suitable for that indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The ultimate disconnection from the power source is the mains plug. Always make
sure it is easily accessible to be unplugged in the event of an emergency.
This appliance is fitted with a fused three pin mains plug to BS 1363 which will be
suitable for use in all houses fitted with mains sockets to current specifications.
If the fitted mains plug is not suitable, remove the fuse and dispose of the mains plug
safely, immediately after removing it from the mains cable.
Fitting a new mains plug
If for any reason you need to fit a new mains plug, the mains cable must be
connected as shown here. The wires in the mains cable fitted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
If the colours of the wires in the mains
cable of this appliance do not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your mains plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured
• Green and Yellow: MUST be connected
to the terminal which is marked with
the letter E (Earth) or symbol or
coloured Green.
• Blue: MUST be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter
N (Neutral) or coloured Blue or Black.
• Brown MUST be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter
L (Live) or coloured Brown or Red.
Before refitting the mains plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of
wire inside the mains plug. Only BSI or ASTA approved 13 Amp BS1362 fuses should
be used. If you are in any way unsure which mains plug or fuse to use, always refer to
a qualified electrician.
Note: After replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded mains plug which has a fuse
cover, the cover must be refitted to the mains plug, the appliance must not be used
without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be obtained from an
electrical shop.

Before Using The Iron
Inspect the iron carefully.
Check that the voltage marked on the rating matches your mains voltage.
Remove any protective film from the soleplate. Polish the soleplate lightly with a
clean soft cloth to remove any residues.
Maintaining the finish of the iron’s soleplate is essential. Keep the soleplate
smooth: do not scratch it on metal objects (e.g. the edge of the ironing
board, buttons, zippers, etc.) as these may impair performance.
Filling the Iron
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the mains socket
and the Steam Control is at Steam position.
Open the Water Filler & Cap, tip the iron up slightly and
fill it carefully with fresh water using the supplied filler cup.
If you live in a hard water area, it is advisable to use
distilled or de-mineralised water. Avoid using water
containing softeners, perfumes or additives.
Do not fill the iron above the max mark indicated on
the side of the iron.
GB - 3
Operation
• Ensure the mains socket is switched off at the wall and
the Steam Control is at Steam position.
• Fill the iron with water as described above.
• Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board rest and
connect the mains cable to the mains socket.
• The Temperature Indicator will illuminate.
• Select the correct temperature by turning the Temperature
Dial.
Turn clockwise to increase and anticlockwise to reduce temperature.
Note: Some parts have been lightly greased and the iron might smoke slightly when
switched on for the first time. After a short while, this will cease. We
recommend passing the iron over a clean cotton cloth before using it for the
first time. The Temperature Indicator will go off when the indicated setting
reaches the correct temperature. The iron is now ready for use. During use the
indicator will light on and off as the thermostat maintains the iron at the
correct temperature setting.
INCREASEDECREASE
Steam Ironing
Steam ironing should be carried out at the highest
settings on the Temperature Dial. Steam ironing at
lower temperatures may cause water to leak from
the soleplate.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the Steam
Control. Move the steam selector to a suitable position
depending on the quantity of steam required and the
ironing temperature.
The iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You
can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by
moving the steam selector to .

(Dry Ironing)(Max)
Ironing Temperatures
Check the ironing instructions attached to the article (they are on a label showing a
symbol of an iron). Always follow these ironing instructions. The indications on the
iron’s Temperature Dial and the table below will help you.
If there are no ironing instructions but you know the fabric, then use the table
below. The table is valid only for the actual materials and does not take into account
any finish applied to the fabric. Textiles to which a finish has been applied (wrinkle
relief, printed T shirts etc.) should be
ironed at a lower temperature.
If the fabric contains mixed fibres, select
the lowest ironing temperature of the
composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester /
40% cotton mix at the temperature
indicated for polyester.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools
down. Sort fabrics to be ironed into groups according to temperature: wool with
wool, cotton with cotton, etc. Start by ironing articles requiring low temperature
settings and progress to higher ones.
Note: Do not iron garments that are dirty or stained. The iron’s heat may set the
stain. Pure (100%) wool fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position
and the garment protected by a dry cloth.

This feature may be used during steam or dry
ironing but only when the iron is at highest
settings.
Press the Shot of Steam button to release a
powerful surge of steam. You may need to press the
button a few times to prime the surge of steam.
Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the
fabric before pressing the button again.
Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to
cool, and the Temperature Indicator will illuminate.
If this happens, wait for the Temperature Indicator
to go off before using the feature again.
Shot of Steam Button
Vertical Steam
Hold the iron upright and press the Shot
of Steam button for vertical ironing. If
the Temperature indicator illuminates,
stop pressing the Shot of Steam button
and wait until it goes off.
To avoid staining, do not use the spray on
silk or synthetics, and be very carefully
when you iron delicate fabrics.
Press the Spray button to spray water on the
material. It may be used for steam or dry
ironing.
Spray Button
For spray and shot of steam functions to operate, the water reservoir must be at
least one-quarter full. If these features stop working, stand the iron on its heel and
fill the water reservoir.
