filling your iron
Never use fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals or additives.
1. Ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
2. Set the steam control to the no steam position (0).
3. Place the iron horizontally on a flat, stable, dry, heat resistant and level surface and
open the water tank inlet cover.
4. Using the supplied measuring cup, fill the water tank with ordinary tap water. To avoid
air locks, tilt the iron slightly while filling it.
5. Don't fill the iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water level
by standing the iron on its heel.
6. When the iron is filled close the water tank inlet cover.
TIP: We recommend that you:
• Start with the fabrics to be ironed on a low temperature such as synthetic material.
Finish ironing with those fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures such as
linen.
• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres; set the temperature control dial for the
most delicate fibre.
• Never use the burst of steam button on silks or synthetics.
• When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the
soleplate cleaned more frequently.
• Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs and zippers, as these
will scratch the surface of the soleplate.
