• Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over

a piece of damp cloth for several minutes on the purpose of removing any residue on the soleplate.

Note: It is normal that a strange odour will eminate from the

unit for the ﬁrst time it is used.

Assembly

Warning! Before assembly, make sure that the appliance is

switched off and unplugged.

Filling the water tank (Fig. A)

In order to be able to use the steam function, you will ﬁrst need to ﬁll the water tank with water.

• Unplug the Iron and take it to a water outlet

• Lift the water inlet cover (3).

• Hold the appliance at an angle.

• Fill the appliance with water to the required amount via water outlet, or using a ﬁlling jug.

• Close the water inlet cover (3).

Warning! Never ﬁll above the maximum ﬁlling level indicated on the appliance. Normal tap water can be used,

but if you live in a hard water area the use of distilled water is recommended. Do not use chemically de-scaled water.

Use

Warning! Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is

connected to the power supply and during the cool down period.

• Connect plug to outlet and turn temperature dial to your desired setting, which is dependant on the fabric of the

garment (Fig.B).

• The indicator light (8) will be illuminated. Refer 'IRONING TIPS' in this manual.

• Once soleplate has reached its preset temperature, the indicator light will be off, then you can set the steam

button to your desired steam output or dry position and begin ironing.

Warning! Do not touch the hot soleplate at any time before cooling down!

• Press spray button (5) a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make sure that

there is enough water in water tank.

• The steam burst function can be used at max temperature, to remove stubborn creases.

• The iron has an anti-drip function: if ironing garments for a long time, the soleplate temperature will fall off, the iron

will stop producing steam automatically and no water droplets can emit from the soleplate.

• The steam burst can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position, so this is useful for removing creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.

Self-clean function

The unit should be cleaned regularly according to hardness of water and frequency of use.

• Fill the water tank and set the temperature selector to Max position.

• Connect to power supply, the indicator light will be illuminated, make sure Steam button is in the Dry position, then place iron upright as shown in ﬁgure.D

Warning! never pour white vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into water tank!

• Once the indicator light is off, disconnect the plug, hold the iron over the sink and turn steam button to SELF CLEAN position (Fig.C) with a little force. Steam and

boiling water will come out of the soleplate while ensuring

impurities and ﬂakes are ﬂushed out.

• Release the button as soon as the water in the water

tank is used up.

Auto-decalciﬁcation feature

There is a decalciﬁcation box inside the appliance, which is

able to absorb insoluble calcium ion and emit soluble natrium

ions so that water can be softened, and calcium build up will

be greatly reduced.

Note: In order to keep soleplate smooth, never iron over any metal material such as zips, etc.

Ironing tips

• Always check ﬁrst whether a label with ironing

instructions is attached to the article.

(Original instructions)

ENGLISH

• Follow these ironing instructions in any case.

• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore,

you should start ironing articles requiring the lowest

temperature, such as those made of synthetic ﬁbre.

• If the fabric consists of various kinds of ﬁbres, you must

always select the lowest ironing temperature to iron the

composition of those ﬁbres.

• Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become 'shiny'

should be ironed on the inner side.

• To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk or

other delicate fabrics.

• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny

should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving at all times.

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with

the iron set at the steam position. Preferably set steam

button to the maximum position and use a dry cloth as a

mat.

Note: when ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you should turn the article

inside out and iron the reverse side.

Cleaning and maintenance & storage

Warning! Before cleaning and maintenance, switch the

appliance off and remove the plug from the socket. Warning! Do not immerse the appliance or the cord set or

the plug in water or any other liquid.

• Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

• Do not use scouring pads.

• If necessary, use a mild detergent to remove spots. Do

not use any abrasive or solvent based cleaner. Do not use chemical based de-scaling agents.

• Store your appliance in a cool dry area.

Mains plug replacement

If a new mains plug needs to be ﬁtted:

• Safely dispose of the old plug.

• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal of the new

plug.

• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

• If the product is class l (earthed), connect the green /

yellow lead to the earth terminal.

Warning! If your product is class ll double insulated (only 2

wires in the cord set), no connection is to be made to the

earth terminal.

Follow the ﬁtting instructions supplied with good quality

plugs. Any replacement fuse must be of the same rating as the

original fuse supplied with the product.
