Using Phoenix Gold

Using Phoenix Gold for
the first time

Before ironing your clothing or fabrics for the
first time, it is recommended that you use
Phoenix Gold on a damp piece of cloth for a
few minutes. This will ensure that any residue
left over from the manufacturing process
is burnt off the Ceramic Plate and won’t
transfer to your clothes.

You may notice a slight odour and a small
amount of smoke during this time, but this is
perfectly normal and should disappear quickly.

Basic instructions

1. Lift the Water Tank Cap and fill the Water

Tank with water. Do not overfill the tank;
use the MAX line on the Filling Jug as
guidance for how much to use. Close the
Cap when you have finished.

2. Plug Phoenix Gold into the mains and

switch on. Ensure the Steam Light is off
(press the Steam Button once if it is on)
and the Steam Control Dial is set to Min.

3. Turn the Temperature Dial to the setting

you require. There are seven settings:
Min, Nylon, Silk, Wool, Cotton, Linen and
Max. The Heat Light will turn on when you
rotate the Dial.

4. Stand the iron vertically and wait for

the Heat Light to turn off. This means
Phoenix Gold has reached the required
temperature.

5. Phoenix Gold is now ready to use. The

Heat Light may turn on and off during use
as the iron maintains the Ceramic Plate
temperature.

To dry iron

1. Ensure the Steam Button is not pressed

down and the Steam Control Dial is
turned to minimum.

Please note: Use bottled or filtered water
when filling the iron. Water from the tap will
increase the risk of calc/limescale build-up
and could reduce the lifespan of the iron.

PG_IM_A.indd 7 23/06/2014 15:22

2. Set the Temperature Dial to the setting

you require and wait for the Ceramic Plate
to heat up. Use once the Heat Light has
turned off.

Note: You do not need to fill the Water Tank
if you are dry ironing.

Using Phoenix Gold continued

For steam ironing

1. Turn the Steam Control Dial from Min to

the setting you require.

There are four settings: Min, Light Steam,
High Intensity and Max.

2. Set the temperature using the

Temperature Dial. If using the High
Intensity or Max steam settings, you
should set the Temperature Dial to Linen
or Max.

3. Press the Steam Button once to turn on

and then start to iron your clothes.

4. If standing the iron upright, ensure that the

Steam Control Dial is set to Min and press
the Steam Button to turn the steam off.
This will prevent steam from continually
being released from the iron.

Please note: Phoenix Gold can be used
over features such as logos, prints, zips,
sequins, etc. To avoid any risk of damage,
when ironing, lift the Ceramic Plate and allow
the steam jet to remove creases near and
around the features.

Using vertically – for garment and
fabric steaming

1. If using the Textile Brush attachment

carefully slide it over the tip of Phoenix
Gold before turning on.

2. Once plugged in, turn to a high

temperature, either the Cotton, Linen or
Max settings. Set the Steam Control Dial
to the intensity setting your require.

3. Wait for the Heat Light to turn off. Pick up

Phoenix Gold and hold vertically, with the
tip tilted slightly forward.

4. Press the Steam Button and move the

iron up and down the garment or fabric
you want to steam. For stronger bursts of
steam, switch the Steam Button off and
then on again.

5. If the steam output declines, simply tilt the

iron forward into a horizontal position and
then tilt back vertical to continue.

DO NOT tilt the iron upside down while using
vertically.

Using bursts of steam

When ironing stubborn or deep creases, you
can create a sudden burst of steam to help
remove them.

While ironing on either the Wool, Linen or
Cotton settings, press down on the Steam
Button to release a sudden burst of steam.
Immediately press the Button again to turn
off the steam.

For a second burst, wait for a few moments,
and then press again. Repeat for as many
times as you need to.

Using Phoenix Gold continued

After ironing

1. Allow to cool completely. Unplug and

empty the Water Tank.

Ironing Tips

• Before ironing garments, always read and
follow the instructions on the care label.

• For the best results, always use a mesh
type ironing board, which will allow steam
to escape

• Sort and group your clothes together
depending on the ironing temperature
they require. Start by ironing clothes that
require the lowest temperature first, as
Phoenix Gold heats up faster than it cools
down.

• Mixed fibre fabrics should be ironed on a
low temperature. If you are unsure about
which temperature to use, test on an
inconspicuous area, such as an inside
seam, to test the iron.

2. Clean the Ceramic Plate and the Cover

Plate with a damp cloth, removing any
residues.

3. Store vertically on a clean, dry, flat surface,

with the cable wrapped around the iron.

• Pure wool fabrics can be ironed with
Phoenix Gold by using with the steam
turned on and by placing a dry cloth over
the area you wish to iron. Use on a high
steam intensity setting, but with only a
medium temperature.

• When ironing garments made of velvet, or
fabrics that have a tendency to become
shiny, keep the iron moving in only one
direction and apply only light pressure.

• Silk should be ironed inside out. To
prevent staining, do not spray water
directly onto silk or other delicate fabrics.
