For stubborn creases, use the water spray
button (2). You may need to press this a few
times to prime the pump.
Vary the steam output using
the variable steam switch (4).
Only use the steam facility on
heavy fabrics (midway
between 2 and 3-dot, to MAX).
Plug in the iron and switch on at the mains.
Set the temperature dial (8) to the temperature
required (see ‘Temperature Guide’ on page 3).
Begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher
settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools
down so you will save time and energy.
Your iron is fitted with a temperature indicator
light (9) which will switch on and off whilst you
are ironing.
The temperature indicator light will illuminate
until the required temperature is reached, then it
will turn off.
Make sure the iron is not plugged in. Set the
variable steam switch (4) to ‘ ’. Fill the water
tank (10) via the filling hole (1).
IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND
A MIX OF 50% TAP WATER AND 50%
DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water
containing any substances like starch, sugar,
fragrant additives or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.

Dry ironing
Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the
variable steam switch
(4)
to ‘ ’ and set the
temperature dial
(8)
as desired (see page 3).
You won’t need water in the tank unless using the
water spray or steam boost features
.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases
from hanging clothes, curtains, etc. Hold the iron
between 1cm and 2cm away from the item and
press the steam boost button
(3).
Anti-drip system
This prevents water escaping from the soleplate
(6)
when the iron is too cold.
During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud
click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling
down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that
the system is functioning correctly
.
Life long anti-scale system (certain
models only)
This system reduces scale deposits and helps
prolong the life of the iron
.
Features of your iron

To clean a stainless steel soleplate
We recommend using a generally available gentle
chrome, silver or stainless steel cleaner. Always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
To clean a coated soleplate
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this
could cause damage to the coating.
To clean either soleplate type
If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (6),
set the iron at the 3-dot position for a stainless
steel soleplate, or MAX position for a coated
soleplate, and pass it over a clean piece of cotton
to draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp
cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.
When you have finished ironing, unplug and
empty all water from your iron and set the steam
switch at the ‘ ’ position. When cool, store the
iron on its heel with the cord wrapped loosely
around the heel.
