OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove any protective films or stickers from the soleplate and the iron’s body. Wipe the

soleplate with a dry soft cloth. Unwind and straighten the power cord. Fill the iron as

described in the section “How to Fill the Water Tank”. Connect the appliance to a

suitable mains power supply outlet. Turn the Temperature Dial to the MAX position; the

pilot light will glow to indicate that the iron is heating up. Once the pilot light goes off, then

the required temperature is reached. Move the steam knob to the ON position - steam

starts to come out from the vents on the soleplate. Begin first time ironing with an old

towel. When the water tank is empty and there is no more steam that can be produced;

the preparation work is completed. The iron is now ready for proper use.

Note: It is normal for small amount of smoke to be produced the first time you use the

iron, this will quickly disappear. When using the steam function for the first time, do not

direct the steam towards the laundry, as there could be debris from the steam vents.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR IRONING

1. Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the

frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments.

2. Start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature and progress to the higher

ones because the iron heats up quicker than it cools down.

3. “Test iron” a small area on the backside or inside of the garment if you are unsure

about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.

4. Wait for about three (3) minutes before ironing heat sensitive fabrics. ‘Temperature

adjustment’ will need a certain time to reach the required level no matter if it is

higher or lower.

5. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing cloth

to prevent shine marks.

6. You may need to press the steam button a few times to activate the burst of steam

function.

7. Always keep the soleplate smooth –avoid contact with sharp, hard, metal objects.

HOW TO FILL THE WATER TANK

1. Disconnect the appliance from main power supply outlet.

2. Ensure that the temperature dial and steam knob are in the “MIN” and “OFF”

positions.

3. Open the water inlet cover.

4. Place the iron on its heel rest and tilt forward approximately at a 45 degree angle.

5. Fill water through the water-filling inlet hole up to the MAX level mark indicated on

the side of the iron/ water tank. Never fill above this mark.

6. Close the water inlet cover and wipe off any spillages on Iron.

Note: For the best result, it is advisable to use de-mineralized water or distilled water. Do

not use chemically de-scaled water or any other liquids.

WATER SPRAY FUNCTION

This function can be used at any time and it does not affect other functions. Press the

spray button to spray water on clothes, as often as required.

NOTE: When using the water spray function, ensure that there is enough water in the

water tank. You may have to pump the spray button several times during first use in order

to start the spraying function.

DRY IRONING

This function allows for ironing without the use of steam.

1. Connect the iron with a suitable mains power supply outlet.

2. Set the steam knob to position “0”/ “no steam”/ “OFF”.

3. Turn the temperature dial to the correct ironing temperature according to the

recommendation of the garment label.

4. The pilot light will glow to indicate that the iron is heating up.

5. When the required temperature is reached, the pilot light goes off. The iron is ready

to use.

6. After use, turn the temperature dial to the “0”/ “OFF”/ “MIN” position to switch off.

7. Disconnect the iron from mains power supply outlet.

8. Follow cleaning and maintenance instructions.

STEAM IRONING

This function can only be used at a higher ironing temperature –moderate or max position.

1. Fill the iron as described in "How to Fill the Water Tank".

2. Connect the iron to a suitable mains power supply outlet.

3. Turn the temperature dial to the MAX position.

4. The pilot light will glow to indicate that the iron is heating up.

5. The pilot light will go off when the required temperature is reached. During ironing,

the pilot light on the iron automatically switches on/off as the thermostat maintains

the set temperature (you may continue ironing during this process).

6. The iron is ready for use.

7. Set the steam knob correctly. Increase steam output by pushing the steam knob to

the right and decrease steam output by pushing the steam knob to the left.

Caution: Synthetic fabric, Nylon, Synthetic Silk and Silk cannot be steam ironed as

it will damage the finish of the fabric.

8. After use, turn the temperature dial to the “0”/ “OFF”/ “MIN” position - the iron is

now switched off.

9. Disconnect the iron from mains power supply outlet.

10.Follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions.

BURST OF STEAM

This function works well for tough wrinkles and heavy fabrics. By pressing the steam

button, an intense burst of steam is emitted from the soleplate. This can be very useful

when removing stubborn creases. This function can be used once the iron has reached

maximum temperature.

For optimal results, there should be a five (5) second interval between presses of the

steam button. To prevent leaking water from the soleplate, do not press the steam button

continuously for more than three (3) seconds.

Allow at least a one (1) minute interval before pressing the steam button again. Stubborn

creases should be removed within three (3) steam button presses.

BURST OF STEAM IN VERTICAL POSITION

Burst of steam can also be applied when holding the iron in a

vertical position. This function is useful for removing wrinkles

on garments in hanging position, hanging curtains, or other

hanging fabrics.

Note: It may be necessary to press the burst of steam button few times to start this

function. During the use of ‘Burst of Steam’, stop ironing when the pilot light turns on and

then start ironing again only after the pilot light has turned off.

Warning: Do not apply steam on any clothes or fabrics that are being worn by humans or

pets. The temperature of the steam is very high and will burn or scald.

SELF-CLEANING

This function removes the scale and minerals built up in the Steam Chamber. The iron will

remain in the best condition if this function is performed once every two weeks. You may

choose to use the function more frequently depending on the hardness of the water used

or water available in your local area.

1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the mains supply outlet.

2. Set the steam knob to the “0”/ “no steam” / “OFF” position.

3. Fill the iron as described in “How to Fill the Water Tank” and fill the water tank up

to the MAX position. Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

4. Place the iron on a stable surface in an upright standing position.

5. Connect the iron to mains supply outlet.

6. Turn the temperature dial to the MAX position.

7. The pilot light will glow to indicate that the iron is heating up.

8. The pilot light will go off when the required temperature is reached.

9. Turn the temperature dial to the “0”/ “OFF”/ “MIN” position.
