Page 5: Before Using For The First Time
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Remove all packagIng • Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate. cuRe THe elemenT • 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’ll stop as the residues evaporate. WaTeR • Use ordinary tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water. • If the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing, and you don’t have a replacement, you should use distilled water while you’re waiting for the replacement to be delivered. Don’t use chemically descaled water, or water from a water softener – softened water can do more damage to your iron than hard water. - Page 6 SwITcH ON • Sit the iron on the heatproof stand on top of the base unit. • Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable). • Press and release the boiler switch, then the iron switch. • The boiler and iron lights will glow. • When the boiler is ready to generate steam (2-3 minutes), the steam ready light will glow. • It’ll then cycle on and off as the boiler works to maintain the temperature. • If the temperature control on the iron is set above room temperature, the thermostat light on the iron will glow, to show that the soleplate is heating up. • It’ll go out when the soleplate reaches the temperature set by the temperature control, then cycle on and off, as the thermostat works to maintain the temperature.

Page 7: Steam Ironing
NOTE: If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the label. • If the soleplate is at a lower temperature that the one you’ve set, the thermostat light on top of the iron will glow, to let you know that the soleplate is heating up. • When the soleplate reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will go out, then cycle on and off as the thermostat works to maintain the temperature. •... -
Page 8: After Use
NO waTER • When the water level gets low, the low water light will flash. • Fill the reservoir (see “FILLING”), then prime the iron again. aFTER USE • Sit the iron on top of the base unit and turn the temperature control to •. • Press and release the iron switch and the boiler switch to turn them off. • The boiler and iron lights will go out. • Unplug the base unit (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable). • Top up the reservoir • This’ll give you a head start next time you use the iron • It will help to avoid inadvertently running out of water • Let the iron cool down completely before cleaning it, moving it, or storing it away. HOLIDayS • If you leave the iron for more than a week, empty the reservoir, to avoid mould. caRE aND MaINTENaNcE • Unplug the base unit, and let it and the iron cool down fully. • Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid. • Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar. • Take care not to scratch the soleplate. • Don’t put the iron in water or any other liquid. •... - Page 9 cHaNGING THE aNTI-ScaLE caRTRIDGE • This is best done when refilling the reservoir, as you’ll have to top up the reservoir after fitting the new cartridge anyway. • After removing the reservoir from the base unit, simply lift out the old anti-scale cartridge, drop in the new one, then top up the reservoir. REPLacEMENT aNTI-ScaLE caRTRIDGES • Have the Model No. on hand, as we won’t be able to help you without it. It’s on the rating plate (usually underneath the product). • Contact Customer Service for prices and replacements. DEScaLING THE BOILER • Descale the boiler every time you replace the anti-scale cartridge. • Leave it for a minimum of 4 hours to cool down completely (overnight is best). • Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of warm water in a jug. • It’s best to do this on top of a towel on the work surface in the kitchen, as you’re likely to spill a bit, and you’ll need access to water and a sink (or a basin). • Remove the reservoir (you’re going to turn the base unit upside down). • Set the iron down on the work surface – take care not to scratch the soleplate. • Turn the base unit upside down. •...
