Steam ironing

The smart features of the iron prevent you from creating steam in temperature settings below . This is to ensure that delicate fabrics are protected from ironing with steam.

It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should be used when ironing.

When ironing delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics. Steam should never be used.

Important

Your steam generator takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the temperature setting on your steam generator, you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.

This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It takes your steam generator longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the reason we recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.

For example, you have been ironing using the setting and wish to change to the setting:

1. Turn the temperature control dial to set the pointer to the setting. Initially, the temperature indicator light may pulse while the unit adjust to the new temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on solidly again. Your steam generator has now cooled to the correct temperature.

Care and cleaning

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. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

Self-cleaning

Only activate the self-clean when you want to activate the self-cleaning system. Never activate the self-clean function when ironing.

The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. The steam generator has an intelligent reminder cleaning mode which activates after continuous steam ironing over a total of 25 hours. If you are in a hard water area you can perform the cleaning cycle sooner than the allocated 25 hours by following the steps below.

The cleaning indicator light will illuminate to remind users to clean the machine.

1. To activate the self-clean function, adjust the temperature control knob to the Max setting. Press and hold the self-clean button for 3 seconds. The clean indicator light will flash. Place the iron handset on the cleaning tray and pull the steam trigger once then remove hands from the handset, this will initiate the cleaning function.
2. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate along with any impurities. During the cleaning process there is no need to hold the product.
3. The cleaning cycle takes approximately 1 minute. When the clean indicator light stops flashing, the cleaning cycle is complete, and you can switch off your unit and store when cooled.
4. To cancel the self-clean function, press and hold the self-clean button for 3 seconds. The clean indicator light will stop flashing.

Do not attempt to pick up the handset while the clean indicator light is flashing as hot water and steam may be ejected. Only remove from the cleaning tray once the clean indicator light has stopped flashing and you have switched off the power. Always use the cleaning tray provided and do not leave unattended during the clean cycle.
