before rst use
Remove all packaging including any soleplate protection before heating the
iron.
Wipe over the soleplate with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit. Remove the
methylated spirit with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate thoroughly.
Fill the water tank and then empty it. This will rinse out any foreign particles remaining in
the water tank from the manufacturing process. Never ll your iron directly under a tap.
Always use the measuring cup supplied.
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 rst use your iron, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the
rst few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.

air locks, tilt the iron slightly while lling it.
Don’t ll the iron above the water level indicator MAX marking. Check the water level

TIP: We recommend that you:
Start with the fabrics to be ironed on a low temperature such as synthetic material.
•
Finish ironing with those fabrics which respond best to higher temperatures such as
linen.
If you iron a fabric made of a blend of bres; set the temperature control dial for the
•
most delicate bre.
Never use the burst of steam button on silks or synthetics.
•
When using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the
•
soleplate cleaned more frequently.
Do not iron over sharp or hard objects such as buttons, studs and zippers, as these
•
will scratch the surface of the soleplate.

Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow the iron to reach the selected
temperature water may drip from the soleplate.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should
be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen always select the highest temperature. Steam should
never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
