If the soleplate is at a lower temperature than the one you’ve set, the thermostat light on the iron will glow,
to let you know that the soleplate is heating up.
When the soleplate reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will go out, then cycle on and off
as the thermostat works to maintain the temperature
STEAM IRONING
1. Set the temperature control to S or higher – otherwise the steam might condense on the soleplate,
giving you water, instead of steam.
2. When you first want steam, you must prime the pump (opposite page).
3. Press the shot of steam button on top of the iron to produce steam, release it to stop. Steam may still
escape from the iron after you release the shot of steam button. This is normal.
4. Don’t let the reservoir empty in use, or you’ll have to prime it again when you refill it.
CONSTANT STEAM
• For a constant stream of steam, press the shot of steam button, then slide the lock at the rear of the
button back, towards the rear of the iron, to lock the button down.
• Slide the lock forward, to unlock it, and revert to normal use.
DRY IRONING
1. Press the r button (its light will go out), to switch the boiler off. The S button and the steam level
lights will all go out.
2. We recommend doing your dry ironing first.
3. It’s unlikely, but if you’re dry ironing for more than 8 minutes, the auto-shut-off feature will operate.
VERTICAL STEAMING
Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.
• Check that there’s adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may build up, causing
mildew.
• Check that there’s nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
• Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.
• Check that the steam ready light is glowing.
1. Set the temperature control to max.
2. Wait till the thermostat light goes out, then start steaming.
3. Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric. Hold it well away for delicate fabrics.
4. Press the shot of steam button to produce steam, release it to stop the steam.
LOW WATER
1. The low water light will glow if the water level gets low, or if the reservoir is not correctly fitted.
2. Fill the reservoir then prime the iron again.
AUTO-SHUT-OFF
If you don’t press the S button and/or the shot of steam button for 8 minutes, the appliance will go into
standby mode. To continue ironing, go to point 7 under SWITCH ON and start again.
AFTER USE
1. Set the iron on the base unit.
2. Press the 2 button – it will blink red.
3. Unplug the base unit (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the base unit, and let it and the iron cool down fully.
2. Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
3. Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar.
4. Take care not to scratch the soleplate.
