Before use
Sort out the items to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
This will minimise the frequency of temperature adjustment for
different garments.
Note: The steam facility should only be used on garments
which are suitable for ironing at the 2 and 3-dot settings (see
‘Temperature guide’).
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing instructions.
If they don’t, you should follow the Temperature/Fabric guide,
but be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the
garment or similar discreet area first.
If you turn the control dial down from a hot setting to a cooler
setting, wait until the iron temperature has stabilised before you
continue ironing.
Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc, are best ironed
with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
FILLING
A
1 Make sure that the iron is not plugged in, then set the steam dial
‹ to ‘O’ position before filling the iron with water.
2 Lift the filler cap
› until it locks and holds in the open position.
Fill the water through the filling hole into the water tank
‚ , using
the beaker
‰ provided A . The tank holds 350ml of water. The
iron is fitted with a clear view water tank, so you can easily see
the water level when filling. During filling, tilt the iron forward to
read the water level. The ‘MAX’ mark is printed on the side of the
clear view tank
B . After filling, push the filler cap forward until it
clicks in place.
In hard water areas, the use of distilled or demineralised water is
recommended.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any
substances like starch, or sugar, or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.
3 Always pour out the remaining water after use.
WARNING: When filling your iron with tap water, always use
the beaker provided. Never fill directly under the tap.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
C
1 Plug in the iron and switch on the power at the mains socket.
2 Set the temperature dial
‡ to the temperature required C , but
don’t start ironing immediately. If you wait a few minutes, the iron
will stabilise at the required setting.
