instructions

Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the iron on, pass on the

instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the iron works.

important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The iron must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use

and store it out of reach of children.

2 Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or

outdoors.

3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

4 Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not

a joke – I’ve seen it happen).

5 Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.

6 Take care when emptying the iron – it may contain hot water.

7 Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.

8 Use the iron on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably an ironing board.

9 Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on the

ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child, or by a pet.

10 Unplug the iron before ﬁlling, before cleaning, and after use.

11 Don’t ﬁll the iron directly from the tap, use the jug.

12 Don’t ﬁll past max, or water may escape in use.

13 Sit the iron upright when you’re not ironing, and when you store it away.

14 Leave the iron upright to cool before cleaning.

15 Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool

down fully before cleaning and storing away.

16 Don’t ﬁt any attachment or accessory other unless we supply it.

17 Keep the iron and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.

18 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.

19 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.

20 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.

21 Don’t use the iron if it’s dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions or leaks.

22 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.

household use only

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.

auto shut-oﬀ

•If the iron is motionless, the element will switch itself oﬀ after about 30 seconds with

the soleplate down or on its side, or about 10 minutes if it’s upright.

•The iron will beep, the display will ﬂash, and the indicator will revert to STAND-BY.

•To use the iron again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright till it returns to its

operating temperature (20-40 seconds, depending on the setting)

•No settings are lost during auto shut-oﬀ.

preparation

1 Check for textile care symbols (ijkl).

2 Iron fabrics needing low temperatures jﬁrst, then those that need medium

temperatures k, and ﬁnish with those needing high temperatures l.

ﬁlling (#2)

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 Slide the water inlet cover down, to open it.

7 Tilt the front of the iron upwards about 45 degrees.

8 Pour water from the jug into the water inlet.

9 Don’t ﬁll past max, or water will escape in use.

10 Wipe up any spillage.

switch on

11 Sit the iron on its heel, on the ironing board.

12 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).

set the temperature (#3)

13 Use the +and -temperature controls to move the indicator bar through the

settings: STAND-BY, SYNTHETIC, SILK, WOOL, COTTON, LINEN.

(STAND-BY = element turned oﬀ, LINEN = max temperature)

14 The display glows green and the indicator bar ﬂashes, to show that the iron has not

reached the set temperature.

15 When it reaches the set temperature, the iron beeps, the display turns blue, and the

indicator bar stops ﬂashing.

reducing temperature

16 Reducing the temperature takes a bit longer, as the element has to lose the heat it

has built up, so be patient. It’s best to organise your ironing so that you don’t need

to reduce the temperature (“preparation” page 3, point 2).

17 When you reduce the temperature setting, the display will also glow green and ﬂash.

It’ll stop ﬂashing, beep, and change to blue when it reaches the set temperature.

18 Wait till it changes to blue, then carry on ironing.

steam ironing

19 When steam ironing, you must set the temperature control at COTTON or higher (#3).

20 If you don’t, you’ll get water on your clothes, not steam.

21 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.

22 Slide the steam control to the level you want (S= no steam, #= maximum).

23 Wait till the display turns blue, then start ironing.

spray

,Water spotting aﬀects some fabrics. Test this on a hidden

part of the fabric.

24 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.

25 Lift the iron oﬀ the fabric.

26 Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric, and press the Gbutton.

27 You may initially have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water

through the system.

shot of steam

28 Don’t Use the shot of steam function at temperatures below COTTON on the display.

At lower temperatures, you’ll only get water spotting.

29 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.

30 Lift the iron oﬀ the fabric

31 Press the Hbutton.

32 You may initially have to squeeze 2 or 3 times to pump water

through the system.

33 Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.

dry ironing

34 If you intend to dry iron for more than a few minutes, it’s best to empty the reservoir

ﬁrst, to avoid spontaneous bursts of steam:

a) Unplug the iron.

b) Hold it over a sink or basin.

c) Flip the water inlet cover open.

caution the water may be hot.

d) Carefully, turn the iron upside down, and empty the water into the sink/basin.

e) Wipe any spillage oﬀ the iron before use.

35 Set the temperature.

36 Wait till the display turns blue, then start ironing.

vertical steaming

37 Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.

38 Check that there’s adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may

build up, causing mildew.

39 Check that there’s nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.

40 Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuﬀs are empty.

41 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.

42 Set the temperature to LINEN.

43 Wait till the display turns blue.

44 Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.

45 Press the Hbutton (you’re using the “shot of steam” function

vertically).

46 You may have to squeeze 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system.

47 Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.

after use

48 Unplug the iron.

49 Hold it over a sink or basin.

50 Flip the water inlet cover open.

caution the water may be hot.

51 Carefully, turn the iron upside down, and empty the water into the

sink/basin.

52 Sit the iron on its heel, and leave it to cool down completely.

53 When it’s cold, wipe oﬀ any moisture, and wind the cable round the heel.

54 Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.

self clean

55 To prevent scale building up, use the self clean function regularly, at least monthly in

normal water areas, more often in hard water areas.

56 You’ll need a basin or a large bowl to catch the water coming out of the soleplate.

57 Fill the reservoir to the max mark.

58 Sit the iron on its heel.

59 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).

60 Set the temperature to LINEN.

61 Wait till the display turns blue.

62 Hold the iron over the basin or bowl, with the soleplate down.

63 Press the self clean button, and hold it down.

64 Gently move the iron to and fro, over the basin or bowl.

caution keep clear of the escaping water and steam

65 The water and steam will wash scale out through the soleplate.

66 When the reservoir is empty, release the self clean button.

67 Unplug the iron, and sit it on its heel to cool.

68 When it’s cold, wipe oﬀ any moisture, and wind the cable round the heel.

69 Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.

anti-scale

70 The anti-scale agent incorporated in the iron helps prevent the build-up of scale.

71 Don’t use a descaling solution, or you’ll destroy the anti-scale agent.

cleaning

72 Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool

down fully before cleaning and storing away.

73 Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.

74 Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar.

75 Take care not to scratch the soleplate.

76 Don’t put the iron in water or any other liquid.

77 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
