OPERATION
• 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.
• Switch on the power. The mains 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 mains indicator will turn “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.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage of your electricity supply matches the
voltage 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 is 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.
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
steam is regulated by the Steam button.

7. Iron Soleplate
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.
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 keeping the Steam button depressed for more than 5 seconds.
To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk
or synthetics, and be very careful when you
iron delicate fabrics.
SPRAY BUTTON
Press the Spray button to spray water on the fabric. It may be used during steam and
dry ironing.
During ironing:
In between operations and when filling the iron always stand the iron on its heel.
NEVER leave the iron face down.
After you have nished ironing:
Switch the iron off at the mains socket and unplug.
Stand the iron on its heel and let the iron completely
cool down .
When the iron is cool:
Invert the iron and pour away the excess water
from the water reseroir. When pouring away the water,
gently shake the iron to remove any loose
particles from the tank.
For spray and shot of steam functions to
operate, the water tank must be at least
one-quarter full. If these features stop
working, stand the iron on its heel and fill the
water tank.
Steam OFF position:
Press the Steam button to
cut off the steam discharge.
Steam ON position:
Press the Steam button
to discharge steam.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
FIRST TIME USE
Inspect the iron carefully.
Check that the voltage marked on the rating label matches your mains voltage.
Remove any protective film from the soleplate. Polish the soleplate lightly with a clean
soft cloth to remove any residues.
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 material and does not take
account of any finish applied to
the fabric. Fabrics 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.

FILLING THE IRON
Make sure the iron is unplugged from the mains
socket and the Steam button is at Steam OFF
position .
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.

SHOT OF STEAM BUTTON
This feature may be used during steam or dry
ironing but only when the iron is at its highest
setting.
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 mains indicator will illuminate. If this
happens, wait for the mains indicator to go out
before using the feature again.
