Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before using your iron.
Wipe over the soleplate with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit. Wipe off the methylated spirit with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate thoroughly.
Before connecting your iron to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on your iron.
When you first use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the first few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.
Follow these simple steps to remove any impurities or residues inside your steam iron that may be left over from the manufacturing process.
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to fill the water tank. However, if water is already in the water tank, you don't need to empty it.
During steam ironing, if you do not allow your iron to reach the selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
The temperature control dial must be set within the and setting. Wait several seconds between each press of the steam button.
Press the shot of steam button 4 whenever you have a stubborn crease that needs extra steam. Steam will burst from the holes in the soleplate of your iron into the fabric.
Never iron garments when they are being worn.
The water spray can be used to help iron heavy fabrics or difficult areas (collars, pockets, sleeves, creases, etc). It can also be used when ironing delicate fabrics which cannot be steam ironed.
Make sure there is water in the tank. Press the spray button 3 to produce a spray of water.
When the temperature of your iron is insufficient to create steam, the supply of water is cut off automatically to avoid any drips from the soleplate.
Your iron is fitted with a permanent anti-scale filter. This filter is fixed and cannot be removed for cleaning.
The filter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale inside your iron. Limescale occurs during steam ironing due to water hardness.
Water hardness varies from one area to another. The effectiveness of the filter will depend on how 'hard' your water is.
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of your iron.
Allow your iron to completely cool down and wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while your iron is still hot. Wipe over the rest of your iron with a soft damp cloth then wipe dry.
Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning system. Never press the self-clean button when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be used more frequently.
To remove any build-up in or around the steam holes which may affect steam performance, use a cotton wool tip moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated spirits with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate.
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
ALWAYS disconnect your iron from the mains supply socket after use.
NEVER leave the iron unattended with the Auto Shut-off function in operation.
Your iron will shut off if it has not been used for 15 minutes when resting on its heel, or after 30 seconds if it is resting on its soleplate. The power light will flash whilst your iron is in auto shut-off mode. To restart your iron, gently move it until the light stops flashing.
Allow your iron to completely cool before storing. Always store your iron on its heel rest. Do not store your iron resting on its soleplate.
The Safe-Store™ heat indicator 10 shows you when the soleplate of your iron has cooled sufficiently for it to be safe to store. If the strip is red, your iron is too hot. When the words SAFE-STORE appear on the strip against a solid black background, the soleplate is at a safe temperature for storing.
Never wrap the power cord around the soleplate. The cord can be neatly wrapped around the heel of your iron.
