18 The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens,
the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.
19 Don't use the iron if it's dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions or leaks.
20 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.
before using for the first time
• Don't worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it'll stop as the element cures.
• Iron an old piece of cotton fabric, to clean the soleplate.
• Press the # button 3 or 4 times, to check it out.
• Press the * button 3 or 4 times, to check it out.
preparation
1 Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2 Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j first, then those that need medium
temperatures k, and finish with those needing high temperatures l/max.
filling
3 You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should
use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
4 If you buy distilled water, check that it's marketed as suitable for use in irons.
5 Unplug the iron.
6 Move the steam control to S.
7 Hold the iron with the heel uppermost.
8 Press the V button in fully, and hold it in – this opens the filling valve.
9 Pour water into the heel till it stops disappearing into the reservoir,
and starts to back up.
10 Let the V button go, to close the valve and seal the reservoir.
11 Tip any excess water out of the heel, into the sink or the filling jug.
12 Wipe up any spillage.
switch on
13 Turn the temperature control to •.
14 Sit the iron on its heel.
15 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
16 The heel and reservoir will glow, to show that the iron is connected to the electricity
supply.
17 Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the 5 mark (#3).
18 The thermostat light will come on.
19 When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the thermostat light will go out. It'll
then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
