Using Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight
for the first time
Before ironing your clothing or fabrics for the
first time, it is recommended that you use
Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight on a damp piece of
cloth for a few minutes. This will ensure that
any residue left over from the manufacturing
process is burnt off the Ceramic Plate and
won’t transfer to your clothes.
You may notice a slight odour and a small
amount of smoke during this time, but this
is perfectly normal and should disappear
quickly.
In hard water areas, we recommend a
mix of 50% tap water and 50% distilled or
‘demineralised’ water.
Only use clean, pure water that contains
no contaminants or additional chemicals.
Important - Each iron is checked at the
factory so some water may remain in the tank.
Please flush the system by filling the
tank and setting the iron on the highest
temperature and press the steam trigger
to release steam.
Do this at least once before first use and
also if you haven’t used your Phoenix Gold®
FreeFlight for a long period.
Basic instructions
1. Lift the Water Tank Cap (C) and fill with
water. When filling the tank from empty,
hold nearly vertical and, using the jug
provided, fill to the ‘Max’ line on the
Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight. When topping
up, remove the iron clear of the base,
open the Water Tank Cap, and tilt the iron
upwards. Slowly fill below the ‘Max’ line,
and close the cap again.
Using Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight Using Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight continued
Note: Some water can get trapped inside
the cap and come out of the small air hole
when the iron is held vertically. This is not a
leak, simply open the cap and empty out
any residual water.
Also, there can sometimes be a noise
created by air being vented through the air
hole in the cap. If this occurs, simply open
the cap to stop it happening.
2. Plug Phoenix Gold®FreeFlight into the mains
and switch on. Make sure the steam is set
to off while the iron is heating (indicated by
the thermostat light on the iron).
When used with the cord the light will go
on and off as the temperature regulates.
When used cordless the iron should be
placed back on the base unit to maintain
heat. When the thermostat light is off
the iron is ready.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE STEAM
SELECTOR IS CLOSED WHEN USING
THE STEAM TRIGGER IN QUICK
SUCCESSION TO AVOID WATER
SPITTING. Do not open the selector
immediately after using the Steam Blast as
the pressure can cause water to come out
of the soleplate. Always check to make sure
the 'Auto-Off' feature has not activated when
using the Steam Blast as this can cause the
iron to cool quickly and water to spit from
the soleplate.
Anti-calc system
A special resin filter inside the water tank
prevents scale build-up in the plate. The
resin filter is permanent and does not need
replacing.
Do not use chemical additives, scented
substances or decalcifiers.
Anti-drip system
With the anti-drip system, you can iron even
the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures.
The plate may cool down to the point where
no more steam comes out, but rather drops
of boiling water that can leave marks or stains.
Turn the steam selector to the off position so
the Anti-drip activates to prevent vaporization,
to help avoid the risk of staining.
Preparation
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to
the international symbols on the garment
label or, if this is missing, according to the
type of fabric.
Garment label Fabric type Thermostat regulation
Synthetic Low temperature
Silk - Wool Medium temperature
Cotton - Linen High temperature
Fabric not to be ironed
Start ironing the garments requiring a low
temperature.
This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes
less time to heat up than to cool down) and
eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.
Automatic shut-off
If the iron (connected to the base with
the power on) has been left idle for approx.
30 seconds in the horizontal position,
heating will shut-off. When this happens,
the automatic shut-off indicator light (K) will
blink. Lift the iron to the vertical position to
deactivate this safety feature and allow the
iron to heat before commencing with ironing
again.
If the iron (connected to the base with
the power on) is in use over 30 minutes
(approx) a safety feature will activate and the
heating will shut-off. When this happens,
the Automatic Shut-off Indicator Light (K)
will blink. Lift the iron to the horizontal and
back to the vertical position to deactivate
this safety feature, (which will be indicated
by a constant blue light) and allow the iron
to heat to the required temperature before
commencing with ironing again.

performance.
5. When the Temperature Indicator Light (H)
goes out, you can start to iron.
• If the iron is connected to the base, you
can continue ironing.
• If the iron is being used separately,
you can use for about 30 seconds
after the Temperature Indicator Light
(H) goes out (this will vary depending
on various factors), then you need to
replace the iron on the base for heating,
you can continue to use again after the
Temperature Indicator Light (H) goes out.
6. Set the Steam Selector (D) to a required
position. [Fig. 1]
Using the Steam Blast Trigger (F) and
steam when ironing vertically.
IMPORTANT: Place the steam selector
to the CLOSED position to maintain the
pressure for the steam blast function
and to avoid water spitting when the
steam trigger is pressed.
After the iron has fully heated press the
Steam Blast Trigger (F) to generate a
powerful burst of steam that can penetrate
fabrics and smooth difficult creases.
Wait for at least 2 seconds before pressing
again. [Fig. 6]
By pressing the Steam Blast Trigger (F) at
intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains,
hung garments, etc.). [Fig. 7]
Warning: the Steam Blast Trigger (F)
function can only be used at high
temperatures. Remember to replace the
iron on the base when using in cordless
mode. Once the temperature light has
gone out remove from the base and
continue to steam. Always read the care
label.
Steam Ironing
Filling the tank
1. Check that the plug is disconnected from
the socket.
2. Detach and move the iron clear of the
base before filling.
3. Move the Steam Selector (D) to
[Fig. 1]
4. Open the Water Tank Cap (C).
5. Raise the tip of the iron to help the water
enter the opening without overflowing.
6. Slowly pour the water into the tank using
the jug (supplied) and take care not to go
over the maximum level (about 370ml)
indicated by “MAX” on the tank (O). [Fig.
2]
7. Close the Water Tank Cap (C).
Selecting the steam
1. Use the higher temperature setting from
dot positon two to dot position three to
generate even steam flow and to avoid
the possibility of water spitting.
2. Ensure there’s enough water in the water
tank, put the iron in the vertical position.
Wipe away any water that may be around
the cap.
3. Select the required temperature on the
Temperature Control Dial (G) (must be
within the steam range as shown on the
dial). [Fig. 3]
4. Connect the iron to the base and insert
the plug into the socket:
• When using the iron connected to its
base [Fig. 4], make sure that the Base
Lock Switch (L) is in the locked position.

The plastic parts can be cleaned with a
damp cloth then wiped over with a dry cloth.
Self-Cleaning
The Self-Cleaning (N) feature cleans inside the
plate, removing impurities. We recommend
using it every 10-15 days. Directions:
1. Fill the tank up to the Maximum Level (O)
and set the Steam Selector (D) to “0FF”.
2. Place the iron in the vertical position.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial (G) to
the Max position.
4. Plug the iron into the mains power and
allow to heat for 2 mintues.
5. Unplug the iron, remove from the base
and place it horizontal over a sink or
basin.
6. Press the Self-Cleaning Button (N)
repeatedly for around one minute to
activate the cleaning function. This will
release both steam and water through
the soleplate to clear any deposits.
Repeat above steps again if needed,
particulary in hard water areas. [Fig. 9]
Caution: When using the Self-Clean
function hot water and steam will rush
through the solepate.
Dry ironing
To iron without steam, simply turn the Steam
Selector (D) to the ‘OFF’ position.
Spray Function
Make sure that there is water in the tank.
Press the Spray Button (E) slowly (for a
dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized
spray). [Fig. 8]
Warning: for delicate fabrics, we
recommend moistening the fabric
beforehand using the Spray Button (E),
or putting a damp cloth between the
iron and the fabric. To avoid staining,
do not use the spray on silk or synthetic
fabrics.

Cleaning
Note: before cleaning the iron in any
way, make sure that it is unplugged
from the electrical supply.
Any deposits left on the plate can be
removed using a damp cloth or a non-
abrasive liquid detergent.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or
metallic objects.
7. Place the iron in the vertical position
and allow to cool. This will enable any
residual water to dry.
8. After completing the Self-Cleaning
cycle, turn the iron on again at the
mains and allow to heat for two minutes
to dry out any residual water inside the
steam chamber.
9. Run the soleplate over an old piece of
cloth to clean it of any impurities.
10. When the soleplate has cooled down,
you can clean it with a damp cloth.
When using again, allow the iron to
heat fully and activate the steam setting
again, ironing on a old piece of cloth to
get any remaining impurities that may
have settled around the steam vents.
How to put it away
1. Disconnect the plug of the iron from the
socket.
2. Empty the tank by turning the iron
upside down and gently shaking it.
3. Leave the iron to cool down completely.
4. Wind the power cord around the base.
Do not overpull the cord as this may
weaken the anchor point. [Fig. 10]
5. Always put the iron away in a vertical
position.

Technical Information
Disposal and the environment
This product is covered by the waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE) regulations. It should not be discarded with normal household waste,
but taken to your local collection centre for recycling. For further information,
please contact your local authority or approved disposal agency.
Advice For Good Ironing
We recommend using the lowest
temperatures with fabrics that have unusual
finishes (sequins, embroidery, transfers etc.).
If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton
60% synthetics), set the thermostat to the
temperature of the fibre requiring the lower
temperature.
If you don’t know the composition of the
fabric, determine the suitable temperature
by testing on a hidden corner of the
garment. Start with a low temperature and
increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal
temperature.
Never iron areas with traces of perspiration
or other marks: the heat of the plate fixes the
stains on the fabric, making them irremovable.
To avoid making silk, woolen or synthetic
garments shiny, iron them inside out.
To avoid making velvet garments shiny, iron
in one direction (following the fibre) and do
not press down on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded,
the more garments come out creased.
This also happens when the spin drying
revolutions are very high.
Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not
completely dry.
For example, silk should always be ironed
damp.
Cleaning & Care
General care
Ensure Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight is
unplugged and has completely cooled down
before cleaning.
Clean the Ceramic Plate and the body of the
iron using a lightly-damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive scourers or brushes to clean any
part of the iron.
If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate, set
the iron on MAX and pass it over a clean piece
of cotton to draw the deposits off the surface.
To clean the exterior, allow the unit to cool
and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild
detergent, then wipe dry.
