IRONING TEMPERATURES
WARNING! Always check the label on the article to be ironed for correct ironing instructions!
• Sort the laundry separating different fabric types – wool with wool and cotton with cotton etc. Start
ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperatures (synthetics) first and progress to a higher
temperatures as the iron heats up quicker than it cools. If the fabric to be ironed has various fiber
materials (e.g. cotton with polyester), use the lower/lowest ironing temperature.

IRONING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The iron may smoke slightly when
switched on for the first time. This is normal
and will soon cease.
Please read these instructions carefully before
use.
Important!: have you read the section “Impor
tant Safeguards”?
CHOICE OF WATER
- This iron can be used with normal tap water.
- If the water in your area is particularly hard. It
is advisable to use distilled or demineralized
water to prevent the scale forming on the
critical point of the iron.
- Do not use chemically de-scaled water.
FILLING WITH WATER
- Ensure that the iron is disconnected from the
power supply before filling.
- Turn the dry/steam selector dial to “0” or dry
position.
- Fill water through the aperture using the
measuring cup only. (If you fill the iron at the
tap water can spill into the electrics and trip
your earth leakage or blow the iron.)
Note* Do not fill higher than indication “MAX”
of the water tank, In order to avoid spilling out
of water.
- Do not fill with any thing but clean water. If you
have to refill while ironing, remove the mains
plug from the wall socket before filling.
- Pour out any remaining water after use.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
- Insert the plug in the wall socket and stand the
iron upright.
- Set the temperature control dial to the correct
temperature as indicated in the ironing
instructions on the label or as per table above.
- The correct temperature will be reached when
the indication light has gone. The indication
light will be on and off from time to time
indicating that the selected temperature is being
maintained.
Note: Water may leak from the soleplate if the
temperature selected is too low.
This will then cause stains. If it happens, Set the
temperature control to the advised position for
steam ironing. Steaming will re-commence as
soon as the appropriate temperature has been
reached.

SPRAYING
- At any temperature by pressing on the spray
button a couple of times, the laundry can be
damped down.
- Ensure that there is enough water in the water
tank.
DRY IRONING
• Insert the main plug into the wall socket.
• Ensure that the dry/steam selector button (C) is
in position“0”.
• Select the setting on the temperature control
dial best suited for the fabric to be ironed.
• When the indication light has gone out, ironing
may commence.
STEAM-IRONING
• As indicated on the temperature control dial
and the temperature table, steam ironing is only
possible at higher ironing temperature:
• Ensure that there is enough water in the water
tank.
• Stand the iron on its rear side.
• Insert the plug into the wall socket.
• Set the temperature control dial to the steam
position.
• Wait a little while for the power indication light to
go out and to come on again.
• Set the dry/steam selector knob to the steam
position. The steam will emerge from the vents
in the soleplate when the iron is held in the

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE
Note: When using the iron for the first time,
testing on an old piece of fabric to ensure that
the soleplate and water tank is completely
clean.
SAFETY PROTECTIVE CUT – OUT
In the unlikely event of the thermostat failing, the
protection cut – out will operate to prevent the iron
overheating. The iron should then be taken to an
authorized dealer/service agent for repair.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Please read all instructions before use.
2. Ensure the voltage rating on the type plate
corresponds to the main voltage in your home.
3. Use the iron only for its intended use.
4. The iron should always be switched off before
connecting or disconnecting from the power
supply. Never yank/pull the cord to disconnect
the plug from the wall socket.
5. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord
or plug. Never use the iron if it is damaged in
any way. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not re-assemble the iron. Take it to a qualified
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect
re-assembling can cause electric shock when
the iron is used.
6. If you leaving the appliance momentarily always
switch it off, remove the plug from the wall
socket and stand the iron on its base.
7. Take care that children cannot touch the iron
when the iron is hot and make sure they cannot
pull the mains cord.
8. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do
not immerse the iron, cord or plug in water or
other liquids.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts,
hot water or steam, Be caution when you turn
a steam iron upside down: there may be hot
water in the tank.
10.Do not allow the mains cord to touch hot
surface. Let the iron cool down completely
before taking it away. Wind the main cord
around the iron when storing.
11.Always disconnect the main plug from wall
socket before filing the iron with water or
pouring the remaining water out.
12.To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate
another high voltage appliance in the same
electric circuit.
13.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a
10-ampere (Europe) or 15 ampere (America)
cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken
to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
14.This iron is for household use only.
15. Traveling irons are not intended for normal use.
