before first use
Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before using your iron.
Wipe over the soleplate with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit. Wipe off the
methylated spirit with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate thoroughly.
Fill the water tank and then empty it. This will rinse out any foreign particles remaining in
the water tank from the manufacturing process. Never ll your iron by holding it directly
under a tap, always use a jug.
Before connecting your iron to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the
same as the one indicated on your iron.
When you rst use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the
rst few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.

using your iron
We recommend that you:
• Start by ironing those items of laundry that require the lowest temperature (e.g.
synthetics). Finish by ironing fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures and
steam—such as cotton and linen.
• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of bres set the temperature of your iron to the
most delicate bre.
• Never use the burst of steam button on silks or synthetics.
• When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the
soleplate cleaned more frequently.
• Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs or zippers as they will
scratch the soleplate of your iron.
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.
This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It
takes your iron longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the reason we
recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.
If you do need to reduce the temperature of your iron, wait until the display light stops
ashing before ironing. This will ensure that your iron has reached the lower temperature
and is not too hot for the fabric being ironed.

Ironing without steam
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics there is no need to ll the water tank. However, if water is
already in the water tank, you don’t need to empty it.
1. Set the steam control to the off (0) position.
2. Plug your iron in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on. The STANDBY
and llights will illuminate.
3. Press the +/- buttons to select the temperature setting appropriate to the fabric type
being ironed. For example, if you select the lll setting, the STANDBY, l and ll
lights will illuminate and the lll light will ash as your iron heats up. When the lll
light stops ashing, your iron is at the correct temperature and ready to use.
4. During use, the lll light will ash periodically as your iron maintains the selected
temperature.
Steam ironing
If you do not allow your iron to reach the selected temperature, water may drip
from the soleplate during steam ironing.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should
be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should
never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Use the +/- buttons to select the lll or MAX setting. The hotter your iron, the more
steam is generated.
4. When the lll or MAX light stops ashing, your iron is at the correct temperature
and ready to use. During use, the lll or MAX light will ash periodically as your iron
maintains the selected temperature.
5. Adjust the steam control lever to select the desired steam output.
6. Move the steam control lever to the high steam ( ) setting to increase the amount of
steam, or towards the off (0) setting to decrease the amount of steam.
7. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the off (0)
position.

Burst of steam
Your iron must be set to either lll or MAX. Wait several seconds between each press of
the steam button.
Press the shot of steam button whenever you have a stubborn crease that needs extra
steam. Steam will burst from the holes in the soleplate of your iron into the fabric.
Vertical steam ironing
Never iron garments when they are being worn.
Your iron can be used for vertical steam ironing curtains, dresses on hangers etc.
1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron into the mains supply and switch on.
3. Use the +/- buttons to select the lll or MAX setting. The hotter your iron, the more
steam is generated.
4. When the lll or MAX light stops ashing, your iron is at the correct temperature
and ready to use. During use, the lll or MAX light will ash periodically as your iron
maintains the selected temperature.
5. Hold your iron 15cm (6 inches) from the fabric.
6. Press the shot of steam button. The steam will penetrate the fabric removing the
creases. To apply more steam press the shot of steam button again. Wait several
seconds between each press of the button.
Spraying
The spray function will only operate when there is water in the water tank.
1. The water spray can be used to help iron heavy fabrics or difcult areas (collars,
pockets, sleeves, creases, etc). It can also be used when ironing delicate fabrics
which cannot be steam ironed.
2. Simply press the button as required to produce a spray of water. If the spray is being
used for the rst time, or if the iron has been standing for some time, you may need
to press the spray button a few times before it works correctly.

Anti-drip feature
When the temperature of your iron is insufcient to create steam, the supply of water is
cut off automatically to avoid any drips from the soleplate.
Anti-scalelter
Your iron is tted with a permanent anti-scale lter. This lter is xed and cannot be
removed for cleaning.
The lter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale inside your iron. Limescale
occurs during steam ironing due to water hardness.
Water hardness varies from one area to another. The effectiveness of the lter will
depend on how ‘hard’ your water is.
Safety auto shut-off function
ALWAYS disconnect your iron from the mains supply socket after use. NEVER
leave the iron unattended with the auto shut-off function in operation.
Your iron will shut off if it has not been used for 15 minutes when resting on its heel, or 30
seconds with the soleplate face down. The STANDBY light will ash indicating that your
iron is now in auto-shut off mode. To restart your iron, either press the +/- buttons or move
your iron gently. The iron will revert back to its previous setting.
