INCREASING AND DECREASING THE HEAT SETTINGS • Turn the temperature dial to set ironing temperature based on the garment which needs to be ironed. • The Steam Generator Iron has two heat settings: 1) MAX setting with a temperature range from 175°C to 225°C 2) Intelligent temperature setting with a temperature range from 115°C to 175°C...

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM • There is a special resin filter inside the water tank, which softens the water and prevents limescale build-up in the steamer panel. The resin filter is permanent and does not need replacing. • PLEASE NOTE: Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralized water makes the anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Starting ironing garments requiring a low temperature first. Reducing the waiting time, the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down. It will eliminate the risk of scorching the fabric. Fabrics with this symbol are ironable for Synthetics, Inteligent Silk and Wool.

STEAM IRONING • The default setting is the ‘eco’ steam rate when the appliance is turned on. • You can change the desired steam rate for each garment according to your requirements. There are two modes ‘MAX’ and ‘eco’ steam rates available. •...

STEAM SHOT • If you require an extra burst of steam to help smooth out stubborn creases and wrinkles, great for denim and linen. • Lift the iron slightly above the fabric surface and press the steam shot button firmly. You may need to press the trigger a few times at first, to pump water through the system.
HINTS AND TIPS • We recommend using the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes e.g. sequins, embroidery, flush, etc. • Never iron over zips or rivets in the fabris, this will damage the soleplate. • Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article. Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
Check the iron is plugged in and switched on at the socket. There could be a problem with the socket, if so, try a different socket. Make sure you have pressed the ON/OFF button. If the iron is still not working contact Lakeland Customer Services on 015394 88100 or info@lakeland.co.uk...
CARE AND CLEANING Switch off and unplug the iron, and let it cool completely before cleaning. Clean thoroughly before using for the first time and after every use. Check the parts for wear or damage after every few uses. Certain fabric finishes may leave a residue on the soleplate, which can affect the performance and lead to ‘drag’...
