HOW TO USE
Before first use
Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the sole plate or base (1).
Put the iron on its base and ensure the base lock button (2) is in the LOCKED position. Heat
up the iron to maximum temperature. Put the base lock button in the UNLOCKED position and
iron over a piece of damp linen, or other high temperature cloth (eg denim or tea towel) for
several minutes for the purpose of removing any residue on the sole plate.
Note: It is normal for a strange odour to come from the unit during the first use. This is due
to light oils used to preserve components during manufacture. The odour will disappear after
first use.
Operation
Open the water tank filler (7), then add clean water into the water tank (use the beaker not the
tap). For best results and longer product life, use bottled or purified water – especially if
you live in a hard water area. Make sure not to exceed Max level on the tank. NOTE: IF YOU
OVER FILL THE TANK THE WATER WILL LEAK BACK OUT AGAIN WHEN YOU PUT THE IRON
UPRIGHT.
Press down cover of water tank and you will hear a click if it is in the correct position.
Connect plug to outlet and turn temperature dial to your desired setting, which is determined
by the type of fabric you intend to iron. The indicator light (10) will illuminate.
Make sure steam control (6) is on dry (crossed out steam symbol) position then place the iron
vertically
Once sole plate temperature has reached the preset temperature, indicator light will turn off,
then set steam dial to your desired steam output or dry position and begin ironing. WARNING:
Do not touch the sole plate at any time during ironing. It will be very hot.
Press spray button a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make
sure that there is enough water in water tank. A few presses might be required to pump the
water through on first use
Steam shot function is best used at max temperature, as it helps remove stubborn creases.
The iron has an anti-drip function: if you are ironing dense garments for a long time, the
sole plate temperature can drop. To prevent water coming from the sole plate, the iron will
automatically reduce the steam output.
“Steam shot” can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position, so this is useful for
removing creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.

Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article.
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing the articles
requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres.
If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, you must always select the lowest ironing
temperature to iron the composition of those fibres.
Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side.
To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.
Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light
pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at any given moment.
Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a steam position. Preferably
set steam button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a mat.
Note: when ironing woollen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you
should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
IRONING TIPS
IRONING TIPS FOR CORDLESS IRONS
Using a cordless iron requires a slightly different technique than using a corded
iron.
• Remember: Once the iron is removed from the base, it is disconnected from
the electricity supply. The iron uses residual heat in the sole plate to create
steam and smooth creases.
• Place the iron back on its base promptly after each ironing run.
• Once back on its base, the indicator light will illuminate and go out again once it
has reached temperature. The iron will usually reheat in a few seconds.
• The length of time the iron stays at best temperature depends on the material
being ironed, the temperature setting selected and how often the steam shot
button is used.
• If you are ironing large or heavy fabrics on high temperature with frequent use
of the steam shot, then it may be better to use the iron in corded mode (with
the base locked to the hand unit).

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
AFTER IRONING
Disconnect power supply and empty the water left in water tank. Reconnect
the power supply and disconnect after indicator light goes off, this dries the
sole plate.
Let the iron completely cool down, then wipe flakes and any other deposits on
the sole plate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the
upper part of iron with a damp cloth. Always store the emptied iron horizontally
on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the sole plate.
SELF CLEANING
The iron has a self clean function. This is useful from time to time to clean out
the internal steam ways etc. To use the self clean function, heat up to max
and hold the iron away from any fabric etc. Push the steam switch to the SELF
CLEAN position for up to 10 seconds.
DE-SCALING
It will be necessary to de-scale the iron regularly. The frequency of de-scaling
will depend on where you live. This is easy to do using a lemon juice solution.
One part lemon juice to ten parts water.
Fill the iron with the solution, switch on and allow to come to temperature.
Press and hold the self clean button until most of the solution has worked
through the iron. Empty remaining solution from tank then repeat the above
procedure with clean water.
There are also many proprietary de-scaling products available from
supermarkets.
If you live in a particularly hard water area, using bottled or distilled water will
greatly reduce the need for de-scaling and increase the life of your iron.
Your warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive
lime scale build up

SWAN BRAND HERITAGE
Did you know...
In 1933 most homes were heating their
irons over t he gas r ing or s till putting
hot coal i n them. This Swan i ron was
basically a n element w ith a handle,
which plugged straight into a light bulb
socket. And a t a mere 1 4 s hillings
(70p), it meant many households could
own a prestigious Swan Product.
