Before using for the first time

Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before using your iron.

Before connecting your iron to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on your iron.

When you first use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the first few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.

Follow these simple steps to remove any impurities or residues inside your steam iron that may be left over from the manufacturing process.

1. Follow the instructions under filling your iron and fill the water tank as described.
2. Empty the water tank to rinse out any foreign particles then refill it.
3. Follow the instructions under steam ironing. Set the temperature to the MAX setting and the steam control to the high steam setting.
4. Iron an old piece of cloth (cotton or towelling is ideal) for a few minutes. While ironing, press the steam button 4 or 5 times.

Ironing without steam

Your iron takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the temperature setting on your iron, you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.

During steam ironing, if you do not allow your iron to reach the selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate.

1. Fill your iron with water.
2. Plug your iron in.
3. The temperature control 6 must be set within the and setting. The hotter your iron, the more steam is generated.

5. Adjust the steam control 2 to select the desired steam output.
6. The steam can be shut off at any time by setting the steam control to the no steam position (0).

Vertical ironing

Never iron garments when they are being worn.

1. Prepare your iron as for steam ironing.
2. Hold your iron 15cm from the fabric.
3. Press the shot of steam button 3 as required. Wait several seconds between each press of the button.

Shot of steam

The temperature control 6 must be set within the and setting. Wait several seconds between each press of the steam button.

Spray feature

Make sure there is water in the tank. Press the spray button 4 to produce a spray of water.

Care and cleaning

Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of your iron.

Allow your iron to completely cool down and wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while your iron is still hot.

Wipe over the rest of your iron with a soft damp cloth then wipe dry.

Self clean feature

Use the self-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be used more frequently.

1. Unplug your iron then set the steam control 2 to the no steam position (0).
2. Fill your iron with water to the MAX mark.
3. Plug your iron in then set the temperature control 6 to the highest (MAX) setting. Allow your iron to heat up until the temperature indicator light 5 comes on.
4. Unplug your iron and hold it over a sink with the soleplate facing downwards.
5. Press and hold the self-clean button 11. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate along with any impurities.
6. Release the self-clean button after one minute or when the water tank is empty.
7. Iron an old piece of cloth to allow any remaining water to escape.
8. After use, unplug your iron and allow it to fully cool. Empty out any remaining water.

Cleaning the steam holes

Use a cotton wool tip moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated spirits with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate.

Storing

Allow your iron to completely cool before storing. Always store your iron on its heel rest. Do not store your iron resting on its soleplate.
