0 Place the steam iron on its heel and
open the filling aperture cover
(Fig.1/C).
0 Using the beaker provided, slowly
pour water into the filling aperture
until the maximum water level (Fig.
1/B) is reached. Do not exceed the
maximum water level indicator.
0 Push the filling aperture cover
firmly to close.
The special soleplate design
3
allows you to use tap water with
your iron without affecting the
steam performance. However, in
very hard water areas we recom-
mend the use of distilled or dem-
ineralised water.
Do not fill the steam iron with fab-
1
ric conditioner, starches or other
solutions as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
Using your steam iron
0 Plug the power cable into a
220-240 V power outlet.
The power ON light (Fig 1/H, posi-
tioned on top of the handle) will
illuminate to indicate that the
steam iron is switched on and is
heating up.
0 Turn the temperature selector
(Fig. 1/K) to the desired setting by
aligning the setting on the selector
with the temperature control light
(Fig. 1/L).
The temperature control light will
illuminate to indicate that the iron
is heating to the selected tempera-
ture. When the temperature control
light goes out the iron is at the
selected temperature and is ready
to iron.
When the temperature selector is
3
changed from a high setting to a
lower temperature setting during
ironing, the temperature control
light will go out immediately. This
indicates that the iron is cooling to
the selected temperature. To
ensure that the iron has reached
the selected temperature and is
not too hot, wait until the tempera-
ture control light comes on again
and then goes out before ironing.
Dry ironing
0 Connect the steam iron to the
mains and set the desired temper-
ature as described above.
0 Select "dry" on the steam selector
(Fig. 1/G).
This will cut off the steam flow if
there is water in the tank.
Steam ironing
0 Connect the steam iron to the
mains and set the desired temper-
ature as described above.
When steam ironing, ensure that
3
the temperature selector is set to
any temperature within the steam
band, and that the tank is at least
1/4 full of water.
0 Turn the steam selector (Fig. 1/G)
to the desired steam setting.
Using the spray mist
The spray mist can be used when
steam or dry ironing to pre-
dampen hard to iron fabrics.
Ensure that the tank is at least ¼
3
full of water.
0 Press the spray button
during ironing to release a fine mist
from the spray nozzle (Fig. 1/D).
Using the steam jet function
The steam jet function can be used
when dry or steam ironing, when
the temperature control is set to
any temperature within the steam
band or above the two dot (••) set-
ting.
3 Ensure that the tank is at least ¼
full of water.
