Manual

Recommended ironing settings for dierent fabrics:
Warning: if your clothing is made from a combination of different materials (‘mixed bres’), you should set the
iron temperature for the fabric that requires the lowest temperature.
Filling the water tank:
Warning! Never ll or empty the water tank unless the iron is switched off and unplugged from
the mains. If the water tank becomes empty during use, switch the iron off and wait until it cools
down before relling it.
• The water tank contains a built-in de-scaling unit. This means you don’t usually need to use distilled
(demineralised) water. However, if you live in a ‘hard water’ area or nd that you frequently need to activate
the self-cleaning process for the iron, you should use distilled water to keep the iron working properly.
Please note that the de-scaling unit is sealed in the water tank and cannot be removed.
• Distilled water can be purchased in shops and at petrol stations. Do not use chemically demineralised or
treated water. Never put any other liquid in the water tank.
• When lling the water tank, ensure the steam control and temperature control are both set at their minimum
positions. Do not press any controls when lling the iron.
• Always use an appropriate container (e.g. a small jug) to ll the water tank and never hold the iron under a
tap. Take care not to spill any water when lling the tank; always wipe any drips from the body before
connecting the iron to mains power.

Note: Do not iron this fabric
• Open the water ll cover. Place the iron on a horizontal surface to it's soleplate and ll up the watertank. Only
ever ll the tank to the maximum level, which is marked by a line on the tank below the word MAX. This line
shows the maximum level when the iron soleplate is horizontal (i.e. ready for use). Take care not to overll
the tank. If you overll the tank, pour out the excess water and wipe the iron dry.
• When you have nished lling the water tank, close the cover. Any remaining water should be emptied from
the appliance when you nish ironing.
Steam ironing
1. Before starting, ll the water tank as described in the ‘Filling the water tank’ section. Mains power must be
disconnected when doing this.
2. Before connecting the iron to the mains, turn the temperature control dial (part no. 3) to its minimum
position, which is marked MIN. The chosen temperature is indicated by a mark on the water tank next to the
dial. Next, plug the iron into the mains socket.
3. Turn the temperature control dial clockwise until it reaches the maximum position (marked MAX). The
heating indicator light will illuminate. Steam can be generated at any temperature within the ‘ ’ range
indicated on the dial. Wait until the soleplate has heated up and the indicator light switches off. When the
light switches off, push the steam control (part no. 9) towards its maximum position. Steam will then ow
through the steam nozzles on the soleplate. You can now start ironing, adjusting the amount of steam by
using the steam control.
Note:
• if the soleplate temperature is set too low, the steam function won’t work.
• hold the iron horizontally for steam ironing; you can hold it vertically to use the steam
burst function.
• if the steam starts to ow unevenly, the water tank needs relling. Always disconnect
the power and wait for the iron to cool before relling it.
4. Steam ironing requires a soleplate temperature that is too high for some fabrics. Fabrics requiring a lower
temperature can have stubborn creases removed by using the steam burst function.
5. During ironing, the heating indicator will switch on and off. When the light is on, the iron is heating up. When
the light is off, the soleplate has reached the required temperature.
Water spray
Fill the water tank as described in the ‘Filling the water tank’ section. The water spray can be operated in
conventional ‘dry’ ironing mode and in steam ironing mode. Press the water spray button (part no. 11) to create a
jet of water. It may be necessary to press the button several times in succession before the water starts spraying.
