Components
Before first use
Ensure any labels, tags or stickers that may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron are removed. It is normal for a small amount of smoke and odor to be produced the first time your iron is used, this is due to the initial heating of the
materials used to make the iron. When using the steam function for the first time do not direct the steam toward your garments, as there could be debris from the steam vents that may damage the garment.
Filling with water
WARNING: UNPLUG IRON TO FILL
We recommend the use of distilled water. Ensure that both the variable steam button and temperature dial are set to the minimum/low heat position when filling.
Fill your iron only with water, do not add fabric
conditioners, starches or any other solution as these will damage the steam mechanism.
Hold the iron in a tilted position when filling. Use a cup or spout with a spout to fill the iron. Life water inlet cover and fill by directing water though the water filling inlet until the water reaches the MAX mark (250ml)indicated on the
water tank. Never fill above this mark.
Press water tank inlet cover down until it clicks into place.

Getting to know your iron
SOLE PLATE
The sole plate is nonstick. It heats up and is used to press/iron the garment. While it is very durable, it does require care to maintain its good looks. Please read the notes below: Before first use: wipe and thoroughly dry your iron’s sole plate to remove any manufacturing residue. After every use: wipe and thoroughly dry. Do not use steel wool, a wire brush, bleach or abrasive cleaners. Steel wool can leave particles of steel on the sole plate, damaging the surface or your clothing. Metal or hard plastics (for example buttons or zips) may scratch the surface of the sole plate.
SPRAY BUTTON and SPRAY NOZZLE
Press the Spray Button to produce a fine mist of water from the Spray Nozzle. This is useful if the garment to be ironed is particularly creased. Making the garment a little damp (not wet) makes it easier to iron.
WATER TANK INLET
This is where you fill the water tank if you wish to steam iron. Make sure the water does not exceed the MAX level (250ml) as indicated on
water tank. Unplug iron to fill. We recommend
the use of distilled water. Please refer to filling instructions on previous page of this user manual.
VARIABLE STEAM BUTTON
Move the dial to select the desired steam output for each garment. To iron with steam (DRY IRON), the dial must be in OFF position. Generally a thicker or heavier garment, or a more creased garment, will require more steam.
STEAM SHOT BUTTON
Press this button for a shot of steam. This is useful for eliminating stubborn creases. Steam shot function is best used when iron is on MAX temperature. Steam shot can be used when iron is positioned vertically so is useful for removing creased from hung clothes and curtains.
360° SWIVEL CORD
This allows free movement of the cord in any
direction for better manoeuvrability while ironing.
Also helps avoid tangles.
POWER ON INDICATOR LIGHT
When this light is on, it indicates that the iron is heating. It will switch off when the selected temperature is reached.
TEMPERATURE DIAL
Turn this dial to the correct position for the garment you are ironing eg SYNTHETIC for
light, manmade fabrics.
DECALCIFICATION FEATURE
There is a decalcifation feature built into this iron. It absorbs insoluble calcium ions and converts them to soluble sodium ions. This feature slows down the build up of calcium deposits.
Getting started
1. Fill tank – refer to instructions on previous
page
2. Plus in iron and turn temperature dial to
your desired setting, depending on the fabric of the garment you wish to iron. Power indicator light will come on.
3. Ensure steam button is in DRY position.
4. Place iron vertically.
5. When selected temperature has been
reached, the indicator light will go out.
6. Set the steam button to your desired
setting and begin ironing.
SETTING TEMPERATURE
Follow instructions detailed on the label of the
garment you wish to iron. If there are no instructions, use the indicative chart following.
If the garment consists of various fabric types, select the temperature relevant tor the most delicate of the fabrics that make up your garment.

SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL ADVICE
SPRAYING
Press the spray button to spray water on your garment, as often as required. Note: When using the water spray function, ensure that there is enough water in the water tank. Note: You may have to pump the spray button several times at first use.
STEAM SHOT OR VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the
fabric and smooth the most difficult, tough
creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again. By pressing the burst of steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (i.e. curtains and hanging garments). Note: The burst of steam function can only be used at high temperature. Stop using the Steam Shot when the pilot light turns on as iron needs to heat up again. Start ironing again only after the pilot light has turned off.
DRY IRONING
For ironing without steam, follow the instructions
in the section “steam ironing”, however, the
steam control turning switch should be set to the DRY position. (no steam).
HOW TO CLEAN & STORE YOUR IRON
After using, disconnect from power and tilt the water filling hole downward over a sink to empty the remaining water from the water tank.
Let the iron cool completely, then wipe flakes
and any other deposits on sole plate with a damp cloth or non abrasive liquid cleaner.
Clean upper part of iron with damp cloth. Always store the iron horizontally on a stable
surface with a cloth protecting the sole plate.
SELF CLEANING FUNCTION
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the soleplate, removing impurities. We recommend using it regularly according to hardness of water and frequency of use.
1. Fill water tank to MAX position and set
temperature dial to MAX position.
2. Connect to power supply, making sure
Steam button is in DRY position. Stand iron up vertically.
3. When power indicator light goes out, hold
iron over sink and press SELF CLEAN button. Steam and boiling water will come
out of soleplate, flushing out impurities and
calcium flakes.
4. Release button as soon as water in tank
has been used up
AUTO SHUT OFF FUNCTION
If the iron not used more than 30 seconds in horizontal position or 8 minutes in vertical position, it automatically turns off and the light will flash. As soon as you use the iron again, it will automatically turn on and the light will stop flashing.
