Operating
Before first use
0 Remove any adhesive stickers,
plastic covers or cardboard
sleeves from the soleplate.
0 Ensure that all adhesive is
removed by rubbing the soleplate
with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits.
0 Fill the water tank (see following
chapter) and empty the water. This
will rinse out any foreign particles
remaining from the manufacturing
process.
When turned on for the first time,
3
your new steam iron may give off
vapours for up to 10 minutes. This
is due to the initial heating of the
materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the performance of the
steam iron, and will not reoccur.
Filling the steam iron with
water
Before filling the steam iron with
1
water ensure that the plug is
removed from the power outlet.
The steam iron can be filled with
water while it is hot.
0 Turn the steam selector (Fig. 1/G)
to the "dry" setting.

g
0
Place the steam iron on its heel and
open the filling aperture cover
(Fig.1/C).
0 Using the beaker provided, slowly
pour water into the filling aperture
until the maximum water level (Fig.
1/B) is reached. Do not exceed the
maximum water level indicator.
0 Push the filling aperture cover
firmly to close.
The special soleplate design
3
allows you to use tap water with
your iron without affecting the
steam performance. However, in
very hard water areas we recommend the use of distilled or demineralised water.
Do not fill the steam iron with fab-
1
ric conditioner, starches or other
solutions as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
Using your steam iron
0 Plug the power cable into a
220-240 V power outlet.
The power ON light (Fig 1/H, positioned on top of the handle) will
illuminate to indicate that the
steam iron is switched on and is
heating up.
0 Turn the temperature selector
(Fig. 1/K) to the desired setting by
aligning the setting on the selector
with the temperature control light
(Fig. 1/L).
The temperature control light will
illuminate to indicate that the iron
is heating to the selected temperature. When the temperature control
light goes out the iron is at the
selected temperature and is ready
to iron.
When the temperature selector is
3
changed from a high setting to a
lower temperature setting during
ironing, the temperature control
light will go out immediately. This
indicates that the iron is cooling to
the selected temperature. To
ensure that the iron has reached
the selected temperature and is
not too hot, wait until the temperature control light comes on again
and then goes out before ironing.
Dry ironing
0 Connect the steam iron to the
mains and set the desired temperature as described above.
0 Select "dry" on the steam selector
(Fig. 1/G).
This will cut off the steam flow if
there is water in the tank.
Steam ironing
0 Connect the steam iron to the
mains and set the desired temperature as described above.
When steam ironing, ensure that
3
the temperature selector is set to
any temperature within the steam
band, and that the tank is at least
1/4 full of water.
0 Turn the steam selector (Fig. 1/G)
to the desired steam setting.
Using the spray mist
The spray mist can be used when
steam or dry ironing to predampen hard to iron fabrics.
Ensure that the tank is at least ¼
3
full of water.
0 Press the spray button (Fig. 1/E)
during ironing to release a fine mist
from the spray nozzle (Fig. 1/D).
Using the steam jet function
The steam jet function can be used
when dry or steam ironing, when
the temperature control is set to
any temperature within the steam
band or above the two dot (••) setting.
Ensure that the tank is at least ¼
3
full of water.

0 Select the desired temperature
and wait until the temperature control light goes out.
0 Press the steam jet button
(Fig. 1/F) several times with the
iron on the soleplate to prime the
pump.
If the water tank has run dry, it may
3
be necessary to re-prime the pump
after filling the steam iron with
water.
The steam iron is equipped with a
3
drip-stop system. This system
automatically stops water flowing
to the steam chamber should the
temperature fall too low to generate steam. This prevents dripping,
even at low temperatures.
Steaming hanging items of
clothing
The vertical steam jet function is
3
ideal for steaming curtains, suits
and delicate fabrics.
0
Hang the article concerned on a
hanger and hold the steam iron at a
distance of 10–20 cm from the
material.
0 Now press the steam jet button
(Fig. 1/F).
Do not attempt to freshen up
1
clothing whilst it is still being worn.
Risk of burning!
Care and Cleaning
After each use
0 Turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet.
0 Allow the steam iron to cool before
winding the cord around the builtin cord wrap (Fig. 1/N).
Storage
0 Always store the steam iron on its
heel rest (see Fig. 2).
Do not store the steam iron with
the soleplate facing down, or in the
carton.
Cleaning
0 To clean the exterior of the steam
iron, wipe with a damp soft cloth
and wipe dry.
Do not use harsh abrasives, chem-
1
ical cleaners or solvents, as these
will damage the surface.
Cleaning the removable
steam valve
0 To remove the steam valve, turn
the steam selector anticlockwise
to the "clean" setting so that the
steam valve pops up
0 Gently scrub the tip of the valve
with a steel wool soap pad moistened in warm water.
0 Rinse and dry with a clean cloth.
0 Replace the steam valve and turn
clockwise to lock into position.
(see Fig. 3)
Cleaning the steam holes
0 To remove scale build up in the
steam holes that may affect your
iron’s steam performance, use a
cotton wool tip moistened in methylated spirits.
Cleaning the Stainless Steal
soleplate
Do not use scouring pads, abra-
1
sives or harsh cleaners to clean
your soleplate, as these will
scratch and damage the surface.
0 To remove burnt residue from the
soleplate, iron over a damp cloth
while the steam iron is hot.
0 Using a stainless steel or metal
cleaner, rub gently with a damp
cloth and wipe dry.

Ironing Guide
Selecting the ironing
temperature
0
Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing
instructions. Refer to the Ironing
Chart on page 8 for temperature
recommendations.
Hints
• Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will
reduce the need to adjust the temperature to suit varying garments.
• Start with garments requiring lower
temperatures and work your way
through to items requiring higher
temperatures.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of a garment, test a small area
such as a seam or inside hem section before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature and
gradually increase the heat to find
the best setting for ironing the garment.
• When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the
steam iron to cool to the new setting.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100 % wool)
can be steam ironed with the temperature dial set to Wool. Use an
ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks on the fabric.
• Never iron areas of a garment
where perspiration marks are visible, as the heat of the steam iron
will fix the stains, making them
permanent.
