Important Safety Notes
Caution! Always place on a heat resistant surface.
Warning! Hot Steam. Do not open the water reservoir cap without first releasing all steam pressure that may
have built up. Release by pressing and holding the steam button on. Do not touch hot surfaces.
Caution! Use the cup provided or another proper dispenser to fill water reservoir. Do not fill direct from the tap.
Caution! Never direct steam directly towards any person.
Read fully all safety instructions in this manual before use.
Steam Iron Use.
Before using for the first time, check if the voltage rating on the base plate corresponds to the mains voltage in
your home. Mains supply: 220-240V ~ 50 Hz – AC only. Unwrap the cord fully.
Remove any labels or stickers on the iron soleplate.
Sort the articles to be ironed according to the fabric. Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam
of the garment and these should be followed at all times. Start your ironing with the fabrics requiring the lowest
heat setting. When using the iron for the first time, test on an old piece of fabric to ensure the soleplate and water
tank are completely clean and that you know how to operate this equipment.

Filling Water Reservoir.
Warning! The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is filled with
water. The filling aperture must not be opened during use. Warning! Do not open the water
reservoir cap without first releasing all steam pressure that may have built up. Release by pressing
and holding the steam button on. Hot steam may exit causing burns.
Open water tank cover (7) and fill with approximately 0.8 litres of clean water. Replace the water
tank cover.
Be careful never to overfill the water tank. Do not fill directly from a water tap. Use a filling utensil
such as the cup provided.
Normal tap water can usually be used for ironing. However, if you live in a hard water area we
recommend using distilled water to insure optimum performance of your iron.
Operation
Connect to the mains supply. Ensure the iron is located on the iron station.
Switch the water reservoir boiler and Iron ‘On/Off’ switches (4 & 5) to the ‘On’ position. The
indicator lamps will glow showing that heating is on to iron and boiler. Warning! Never attempt to
open the water reservoir cap whilst the reservoir is under pressure.
Set the temperature dial on the Iron to the desired temperature setting. It takes approximately 7
minutes for the boiler to heat the water sufficiently for steam use. When the water is ready the steam
ready indicator (6) will glow. For steam simply press the ‘steam’ (10) button.
Dry Iron Use
For “Dry” iron function simply only select ‘Iron” on/off switch and turn on. Only the iron will heat.
Do not fill reservoir with water.
Warning! Do not turn boiler heating on without water in reservoir.
