Operation Manual

BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
• Before using the iron for the rst time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a scrap piece of
cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
• Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at rst, it will soon stop as the manufacturing residues evaporate.
FILLING/REFILLING
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).
If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.
1. Remove the reservoir by pulling it away from the body of the steam generator using the grip on the
front of the reservoir .
2. Fill the reservoir to the max mark. Do not exceed the max mark.
3. Ret the reservoir into the base unit.
PRELIMINARY SETTINGS
1. Put the iron on top of the base unit.
2. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
3. Turn the unit on by setting the on/o button to I.
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you require next to the mark. The thermostat light
will ash until the iron has reached its desired temperature. Once the temperature has been reached
the light will remain on. This will take 30-60 seconds after you rst switch on your steam
station.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION GUIDE
1. Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures rst, then those that need medium temperatures , and nish
with those needing high temperatures (or max).
3. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you require next to the mark.
If the instructions on the fabric label dier from this guide, follow the instructions on the label.
