Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following safety
advice.

• Do not use outdoors.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.
• When placing the iron on it’s heel,
ensure that the surface on which the
heel is placed is stable.
Children
• Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used near children.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with this appliance.
Personal safety
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal

• Do not use the vertical steam feature on
clothes that are being worn.
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst
plugged in or on an ironing board. Never
allow the mains lead to over hang the
work surface.
• The socket should always be off before
plugging or unplugging from the socket.
Never yank the cord to disconnect from
the socket, instead, grasp plug and pull

• Do not allow the cord to touch hot
surfaces. Let the iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely
around the iron before storing.
Other safety considerations
• Use the iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against the risk of electric
shock do not put the appliance in water
or in any other liquid.
• Always disconnect the iron from the
electrical socket when filling with water
or emptying, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged
cord or if the iron has been dropped or if

Special instructions
• If your iron does not work, check the
following points:
Has the temperature control been set to
the required temperature? Is the plug in
its socket? Is the plug itself or the socket
faulty? (Check by plugging in another
appliance).
• WARNING: when not in use, your iron
should never be placed flat and left on
an ironing board.
• To prevent damage to the textile being
ironed, follow the temperature guide
carefully. (Test the inside of the hem of

• When ironing is complete, remove the
plug from the socket, empty any
remaining water from the tank, and allow
to cool before storage.
• If you drop or severely knock your iron
this could cause internal damage even if
the outside appears alright. Have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
• It is recommended that you use up one
beaker of water by operating your iron’s
steam and shot of steam functions
before ironing any clothes as some
dripping may occur while your irons
steam system is activated.

Before use
Note: The steam facility should only be
used on garments which are suitable for
ironing at the 2 and 3 dot settings.
When ironing with the steam facility at
the 2 dot setting, the steam output should
be set at the lower end of the steam range
(see variable steam section).
Textiles and clothes are supposed to
carry ironing instructions. If they don’t you
should follow the fabric guide on page 3,
but be sure to test the temperature by
ironing the hem of the garment or similar
area first.
If you turn the control dial down from a
hot setting to a cooler setting, wait until the
iron temperature has stabilised before you
continue ironing.
Filling

and then set the steam control ⁄to the
‘ ’ position before filling the iron with
water.

cap. In hard water areas the use of
distilled or demineralised water is
recommended.
Never use battery topping up fluid or
water containing any substances like
starch, or sugar, or defrosted water from
a refridgerator.
3Always pour out the remaining water
after use. WARNING: When filling your
iron with tap water always use the
beaker provided. Never fill directly
under the tap.
Temperature control

This is perfectly normal as it shows that
the iron is maintaining the heat setting you
have chosen.
It is always a good idea to begin with
cool fabrics and work up to higher settings.
An iron heats up quicker than it cools
down so you’ll save time and electricity.
Features of your iron
Temperature indicator light
The indicator light shows that the iron is
warming up. When the required temperature
is reached the light will go out and will cycle
on-off during operation.
Dry ironing
You can use your iron as a dry iron only.
Make sure the steam control ⁄is set to the
‘ ’ symbol.
Any temperature setting may be used
depending on the garment. The spray
feature may be used provided there is water
in the tank (see filling section). You do not
need to put any water in the tank when dry
ironing only.
Spray
Press the spray
button ¤and aim the
spray of water at
stubborn creases. You
can do this whilst dry
ironing providing there
is water in the tank.
When using the water
spray it may be necessary to push the
button a few times to get the spray pump
primed.
Steam control
Fill the iron with water as described in
‘Filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the
electrical socket.
The steam output can be switched from
off to on by sliding the steam control C. ⁄
The steam facility should only be used
on garments which are suitable for ironing
at 2 and 3 dot setting.
Shot of steam (certain models only)
Press the shot of steam button ‹to
obtain a burst of extra
steam for ironing out
creases in heavy material
such as denim etc.
The shot of steam can
be used whilst dry ironing,
providing there is water in
the tank, and the
temperature control is set
within the steam range.
Do not use shot of steam at
temperatures below the steam range shown
on the control.
Note: For optimum steam quality, do not
operate the shot more than three times in
succession.
Variable steam (certain models only)
Fill the iron with water as described in
‘filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the
electrical socket.
The steam output can be varied from
low to high by the sliding the variable steam
control C. When using the iron at the
bottom of the steam temperature range, the
steam output should be adjusted to the
lowest setting.

Vertical steam (certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position
between 1cm and 2cm away from the item
D. Press the shot of steam button ‹, this
will create vertical steam. This feature is
especially useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes,
curtains, wall hangings
etc.
Note: For optimum
steam quality, do not
operate the shot more
than three times in
succession.
Emptying
and storing
When you have
finished ironing, unplug
your iron. Ensure that
the steam control is set
at the ‘ ’ position, lift
up the fill cap and
empty any remaining
water out of the filling
hole.
Do not store in the box, but in an upright
position, so that any drops of water
remaining cannot leak out and discolour the
soleplate.
Important: The flex can be damaged if
wound too tightly around the iron after use.
Make a loose loop with the
flex and wrap it around the
iron. The iron must be cool
before winding the flex and
storing on its heel.
Maintenance
Jet cleaning (certain models only)
Your iron has a built in cleaning system
designed to keep the water valve, steam
chamber and steam vents clear of lint and
loose mineral deposits. The ‘jet clean’
should be operated after each period of
ironing.
To operate, ensure that there is little
water in the tank, place the iron on its heel
and turn the temperature control dial to the
maximum setting. Wait for the temperature
indicator light to go out, then unplug the
iron and hold it about 6’’ (150mm) above the
sink in the ironing position. Press the shot
of steam button about 10 times in
succession.
After this cleaning operation, empty out
any remaining water.
To clean an aluminium soleplate
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean
and free of limescale, make a paste of mild
scouring powder and a little water. Apply a
small amount to the soleplate, rub and then
remove with a damp cloth. Wipe thoroughly
with a clean cloth.
To clean a stainless steel soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean
and free of limescale, we recommend that
you use one of the gentle chrome, silver or
stainless steel cleaners that are generally
available. Always follow the manufacturers
instructions. To clean off melted man-made
fibres set the iron at 3 dot position and
pass it over a clean piece of cotton which
will draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with
a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
