BEFORE FIRST USE

Wipe over the soleplate with a moist cloth then dry the

soleplate thoroughly.

Place your steam generator on your ironing board or on a

secure, heat resistant surface at the same height as your

ironing board.

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 normal and will soon disappear.

FILLING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR

Warning: Never add fabric conditioner, starches or any

other chemicals to the water in your steam generator.

Only use cold tap water in your steam generator.

1. Remove the water tank by pressing the water tank

release button underneath the tank. Slide the water

tank out (figure 1).

2. Open the water tank filling cover. Fill the water tank

with cold tap water to the MAX mark (figure 2).

3. Close the water tank filling cover and slide the water

tank back into the base unit until it latches securely

into place. When the tank is correctly fitted, the red

tab will be visible.

Note that when you use your steam generator for the

first time or after rinsing the boiler, a lot of water will be

pumped out of the water tank. Refill the tank as required.

Refilling during use

You can fill your steam generator during use without

having to remove the water tank. The low water light will

flash to let you know that the water tank needs filling.

Open the water tank filling cover and add water as

required. Do not fill past the MAX indicator mark on the

tank (figure 3).

IRONING WITHOUT STEAM

Important: Your iron takes time to heat up and cool

down. If you change the temperature setting on your iron,

you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.

1. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer

to the desired heat setting.

2. When the temperature indicator light goes out

your steam generator is ready to use. The light will

continue to turn on and off during ironing.

3. Iron your laundry without pressing the steam trigger or

using the steam lock button.

STEAM IRONING

Warning: During steam ironing, if you do not allow your

steam generator to reach the selected temperature water

may drip from the soleplate. During use the steam pipe

and iron rest will become very hot.

1. Fill the water tank with water.

2. Plug your steam generator in and press the on/off

button to switch your steam generator on.

3. Turn the temperature control to the desired heat

setting. For steam ironing this MUST be between

and MAX otherwise water will drip from the soleplate

during ironing.

4. The temperature indicator light will light up as your

steam generator heats up. When the temperature

indicator light goes out your steam generator is at

the selected temperature. The temperature indicator

light will turn on and off during ironing as your steam

generator maintains the correct temperature.

5. Set the desired amount of steam as described below

in the Adjusting the amount of steam section.

The steam indicator light will flash as your steam

generator heats the water to create steam. When

the steam indicator light stops flashing, your steam

generator is ready to use. The steam indicator light

will occasionally flash during ironing. This is normal.

6. With the soleplate in contact with the garment, press

the steam trigger for a couple of seconds. It is not

necessary to hold the trigger down continuously as

steam will still be emitted from the soleplate for a

short time after the trigger has been released. If more

steam is required, press the steam trigger again.

Always release the trigger and allow any residual

steam to be released before replacing the iron on its

stand.

The pump will occasionally start and stop during

ironing. This is normal.

ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF STEAM

1. Turn the steam control clockwise to increase steam,

or anticlockwise to decrease steam. Steam can

be switched off by turning the steam control fully

anticlockwise to OFF.
