BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
Before using the iron for the first time, or if it's not been used for a long time, iron a
scrap piece of cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
Don't worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it will soon stop as the manufacturing
residues evaporate.
FILLING/REFILLING
Don't add anything to the water and don't use water with anything added to it.
When the water is converted to steam, chemicals, perfume, and other additives will
coat the inside of the steam chamber, shortening the life of the iron.
1.
Remove the reservoir by pulling it away from the body of the steam generator using
the grip on the front of the reservoir .
2.
Fill the reservoir to the max mark. Do not exceed the max mark.
3.
Refit the reservoir into the base unit.
PRELIMINARY SETTINGS
1.
Put the iron on top of the base unit.
2.
Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).

Turn the unit on by setting the on/off button to I.
4.
Turn the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric.

STEAM IRONING

Set the temperature control to (
condense on the soleplate, giving you water instead of steam.
2.
Squeeze the steam trigger to produce steam, release it to stop.
NOTE: When you first start your steam station and pull the trigger for steam ironing,
there will be a delay as your steam station pumps water from the reservoir to prime
the system. This is normal and may take 20-30 seconds. This will also happen after
refilling the reservoir.
DRY IRONING
You can dry iron by just not pressing the steam button, but if you want to make sure you
don't press it accidentally, then you should iron with an empty reservoir. You can do your
dry ironing first, then switch off, fill the reservoir and do your steam ironing.
VERTICAL STEAMING
Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.
Check that there's adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may
build up, causing mildew.
Check that there's nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.

Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric. Hold it well away for delicate
fabrics.
We recommend using the steam trigger to produce steam for smaller areas,
as it gives you better control.
