Wiring Safety for UK Use Only
IMPORTANT
As the colours in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, please proceed as follows:
The wires in the mains lead are labelled in
accordance with the following code:
Blue neutral [N] Brown live [L] Green/
Yellow [EARTH]
Plug Fitting Details (Where Applicable).
The wire labelled blue is the neutral and must
be connected to the terminal marked [N].
The wire labelled brown is the live wire and
must be connected to the terminal marked [L].
The wire labelled green/yellow must be
connected to the terminal marked with the
letter [E].
On no account must either the brown or
the blue wire be connected to the [EARTH]
terminal.
Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened
correctly.
The plug must be fitted with a fuse of the same
rating already fitted and conforming to BS 1362
and be ASTA approved.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you.
Non-Rewireable Mains Plug.
If your appliance is supplied with a non-
rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and
should the fuse need replacing, you must use an
ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of
the same rating).
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you.
If you need to remove the plug - disconnect it
from the mains - then cut it off of the mains
lead and immediately dispose of it in a safe
manner. Never attempt to reuse the plug or
insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger
of an electric shock.

Before First Use:
NOTE: Every effort has been made to ensure this item reaches you in perfect condition.
However, due to our rigorous testing and quality processes before the iron leaves our production
facility, there may be a small amount of water residue left in the water tank.
This is nothing to worry about and the product can be used as normal.
You can run a clean cycle (see self clean section) if necessary to remove.
1. Remove the appliance from the packaging and check for any visible damage to the appliance,
cord and plug.
2. Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate.
3. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
Filling the tank with water:
Caution! Before filling the tank with water make sure the appliance is unplugged
1. Set the steam control to the O position in order to prevent water leakage.
2. Fill the filling cup with water. Hold the iron in a tilted position and pour the water into the
water tank to the maximum level.
3. Fill the iron with normal tap water when using it for the first time.
4. For refilling, you can also use tap water. However, if the water is very hard, it is advisable to use
distilled water.
5. Do not put vinegar, starch, chemically de-scaled water or de-scaling agents in the water
reservoir.
Setting the temperature:
1. Stand the iron on its end.
2. Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
3. Set the temperature control to the correct ironing temperature.
4. Once the temperature light has gone out and come on again, you may start ironing.
5. The temperature light will come on from time to time during ironing.
6. When setting the temperature control to a lower setting after ironing at a high temperature,
please allow time for the iron to cool, to prevent scorching on your garment.
Spray Function:
• Press the spray button at any time to spray water on clothes.
Note: Ensure that there is enough water in the tank to use the spray function. During first use, you
may have to pump the spray button several times to start the spraying function.
Using the steam jet:
1. This function provides an extra amount of steam to remove stubborn creases.
2. Turn the temperature control to the “MAX” position. The indicator light will turn off when the
required temperature is reached.
3. Press the steam jet button once.
4. Wait for a few seconds, then press the steam jet button again.
5. Most creases can be removed with three bursts of the steam jet.
Steam-ironing:
1. Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank.
2. Set the required temperature.
Caution! Water may leak from the soleplate if too low of a temperature has been selected.
3. Once the required temperature has been reached the power indicator light will turn off.
4. Increase the steam output by pulling the steam button backwards, or decrease it by pushing
the steam button forward.

Troubleshooting
Questions Answers
The appliance does
not produce any
steam.
Fill the water tank to above the MIN line. Press and hold the steam
trigger until steam comes out. It may take up to 30 seconds until
steam comes out.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed when you iron.
The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.
The surface to be ironed was uneven, for instance because you were
ironing over a seam or a fold in the garment.
The ironing board
cover becomes wet
or water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
Steam has condensed on the ironing board cover after a long
ironing session.
There is too much
steam coming out of
the iron.
The default setting of the iron represents the optimal temperature.
In this setting, the iron gives off a high steam output.
Ironing tips:
• When ironing a garment that consists of multiple fibre types it is recommended to use the
lowest heat setting.
• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with
light pressure applied.
• Always keep the iron moving to prevent overheating of the fabrics.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set to the steam position.
• To prevent staining, do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.

Cleaning & Care
After ironing:
1. Disconnect the iron from the power supply and empty out any water left in the water tank.
2. Reconnect the iron into the power supply and disconnect it again after the indicator light goes
out. This helps dry out the soleplate.
3. Let the iron completely cool down, and then wipe flakes and any other deposits on the
soleplate with a damp cloth or a nonabrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the upper part of the
iron with a damp cloth. Store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth
protecting the soleplate.
4. When not in use, store the appliance in a safe, dry place, out of reach of children.
Self-cleaning:
1. Set the temperature control to the maximum position, then press the self-clean button for
about 1 minute. Steam will emit from within the iron to clean the steam compartment. We
recommend using the self-cleaning function approximately once every two weeks.
Anti-calc:
1. The anti-calc function filters certain minerals from the water to prevent lime-scale residue from
building up inside the steam compartment. However if you live in a particularly hard water
area, we recommend using bottled or distilled water.
WARNING: never pour vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank.
