IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your new iron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to «Off» before plugging or unplugging from an outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the
outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron when
storing.
5. It is always recommended to disconnect the iron from the electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying. It should also be disconnected when not in use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of an electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified service depot for exami
nation and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric
shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or
near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or
on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may
be hot water in the reservoir.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amp cord should
be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped
over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Thank you for choosing the RELIABLE Velocity iron. With its unique
Compact Vapor Generator (CVG) it will allow you to obtain the benefits of
professional pressing combined with the advantages of traditional ironing.
ATTENTION
• Before using your Velocity iron, remove all the paper or plastic bags,
plastic sheets, cards and possible stickers that may be on the outside
or inside of the appliance that acted as handling protection or sales
promotion material.
• Read these instructions before first using the iron.
• Do not plug it in without checking that the voltage of the iron is the
same as your home power.
• Check that the socket outlet has a suitable ground connection.
• Take care that the iron cord does not touch the hot parts of the appli-
ance.
• If you are going to iron with steam, refer to the section “Before Starting
To Iron” to extend the life of the independent steam chamber.
• To fill the iron or refill it during ironing, follow the instructions set out in
the section “Before Starting To Iron,” unplugging it from the main power
and using the accompanying water jug.
• Do not worry if the iron gives off a little smoke during first use. It will
soon disappear.
• Do not spray “vertical” steam on a garment hanging in the wardrobe
or on a person. Vertical ironing (steaming) must be done with the garment on a hanger and away from people or animals.
• Stand the V95 in the vertical position resting on its heel when storing.
It is advisable to use a stable ironing board.
• When you finish ironing, always empty the water from the tank. If you
want to drain it while ironing, always unplug the appliance from the
main outlet first.
• To disconnect the CVG, never pull on the power cord, take out the plug.
• If the power cord is damaged; to prevent risks, have it replaced at an
A.S.S. (After Sale Service) authorized by RELIABLE, as special tools are
needed.
• The V95 should not be used if it has been dropped or has a crack or
leak in the water tank. If you observe any of these problems, take the
iron to Reliable Corporation or an authorized service depot.
• Do not leave the appliance in operation unattended. Keep it out of the
reach of children.

BEFORE STARTING TO IRON
• With your Compact Vapor Generator unplugged from the main outlet,
open the filler hole cap Fig 3 (1) by turning it backwards (see arrow).
• Due to the importance of keeping the Compact Vapor Generator’s
internal system in proper condition, it is always recommended to use
the best quality of water available to you. If you are unaware of the hardness of the water in your home, ask your local council for information.
WATER INSTRUCTIONS
• The following is a list of the best water for your Velocity iron in order of
preference:
o Distilled water
o Softened water (from a household water softener)
o Filtered water (counter top unit or store bought)
o Tap water
• Fill the tank, without exceeding the maximum level, with the water jug
supplied Fig 1 (8), keeping the iron in the vertical position, resting on
the non-slip rear cover legs Fig 3 (6). When the tank is full, close the
cap.

• We advise you to fill the tank up to the maximum level marked on it
as this appliance generates a substantial flow of steam, otherwise
you will need to fill the water tank more often.
• Check whether the garment you are going to iron has a label indicat-
ing the ironing temperature. We recommend that you to classify the
garments according to their required ironing temperature and to
begin with the garments that are ironed with the lowest temperature
(•).
SYNTHETIC FIBRES: minimum temperature (•)
SILK, WOOL: medium temperature (••)
COTTON, LINEN: high temperature (•••)
LINEN: high temperature (MAX)
ATTENTION: Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than
necessary is harmful for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get
stuck to the soleplate.
OPERATION
Plug the Velocity into the main outlet. A buzzer will sound; the display
will light up automatically and the thermometer symbol will appear
(blinking) alongside the temperature position 1 (•) and the medium
steam position Fig 5. In addition, an icon will appear with the scalepreventing cartridge, for 30 sec, indicating that your iron has a scaleprevention system Fig 2 (e). To replace it, follow the instructions in the
section “Anti-scale System.” By default, when switched on, the iron
marks these positions.
Temperature selection
With your Compact Vapor Generator you will easily know when it
reaches the selected temperature and is ready for ironing. On the
communication display the thermometer icon will cease to blink and at
the same time a buzzer will sound Fig 2.
The CVG has four temperature positions for you to choose between by
pressing the temperature selector button Fig 2 (h). If you press once,
another dot will appear alongside the one already there (••), indicating that it is at temperature level 2. The thermometer icon will blink
again until the selected temperature is reached. When it has reached
it, the warning buzzer will sound and the thermometer will cease to blink
Fig 4. Temperature levels 3 and MAX are selected in the same way.
From the MAX temperature position, if you press the button again, the
iron will revert to the initial position with one temperature dot, and so on.
Press the temperature button for two seconds to disconnect the iron. To
restart it, simply press the button again.
Steam selection
The Compact Vapor Generator has two steam positions, medium steam
(15 gr/min) and maximum steam (30 gr/min). The medium value
always appears by default when the iron is switched on.
To obtain maximum steam, simply press the steam selector button once
Fig 2 (i), and the steam icon will appear in the display at its highest flow
Fig 5. To revert to medium flow, you just have to press the selector but
-
ton again. Fig 2 (i).
When you have chosen the appropriate temperature and steam flow for
the garment, press the steam On/Off switch Fig 6 (g) once and you may
start to iron. It is not necessary to be pushing the steam button continually, just press once and the steam will issue without interruption. To cut
off steam output, press the steam On/Off switch Fig 2 (g) again and it
will cease to steam automatically.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF: AUTO-PAUSE
The Compact Vapor Generator has an automatic switch-off system. It is
switched off automatically three minutes after the last time it was used.
This means that once the device is actuated, the CVG ceases to heat
and begins to cool down. At that moment a buzzer will sound and the
icon Fig 2 (f) will appear (blinking) for five seconds on the illuminated
display, and it will continue blinking afterwards on the display when it is
not lit up Fig 7, indicating that the appliance has been switched off. To
switch it back on, just move it slightly (vertically) or else press any of the
three control buttons Fig 2 (g, h, i). The CVG will revert to the tempera
ture and steam position it had before being switched off.
Remember that the period between being switched off and switched
back on again will affect the time that the CVG may need to regain the
temperature selected previously.

IRONING RECOMMENDATIONS
Since the working of this model is similar to an ironing centre (with separate boiler) and due to its strong flow of steam at max. 30 gr/min, we
recommend that you iron with medium steam at temperature positions
1 and 2, and maximum steam for temperature positions 3 and MAX.
We also recommend that you iron first with steam (the level appropriate to the garment you are going to iron) and go over the clothes dry to
remove the moisture and obtain results comparable with professional
pressing.
Whenever you leave the Compact Vapor Generator in the vertical position, we recommend that you shut off the steam output by pressing the
steam On/Off Fig 2 (g) switch once.
• To iron without steam, simply do NOT press the steam On/Off switch
Fig 2 (g).
• It is NOT necessary to drain the water tank when dry ironing.
STEAM IRONING
This model enables you to iron with steam at temperature position 1
(•). It has two steam flow rates, med. 15gr/m and max. 30gr/m. For
correct use of the flow refer to the section “Ironing Recommendations.”
VERTICAL IRONING
• It enables you to remove creases from delicate garments without
having to lay them on the ironing board: jackets, coats, curtains,
synthetics, etc.
• Place the garment on a hanger, away from other garments (& per-
sons).
• Set the temperature selector at position (••), (•••) or (MAX),
place the iron in the vertical position and press the button. At position (••) you will obtain a more humid white steam, which will be
more apparent, whereas at setting (•••) and (MAX) the steam is
drier and, although the same flow is maintained, it will be harder for
you to see.
SPRAY
• With water in the tank, you may spray water over the garment by
pressing the button Fig 1 (3).
FILLING WITH WATER
If the water is running out, after approximately 30 seconds the waterfilling icon will blink to indicate the water tank must be refilled Fig 2
(d). If the tank is not filled, the pump will stop automatically within one
minute to prevent damage to it.
Unplug the CVG and fill the tank with the water jug that is supplied Fig 1
(8), in the vertical position as shown in figure Fig 3.
When the tank is full, the icon does not disappear from the display until
you press the steam On/Off switch and start ironing again.
If the CVG were to run out of water completely, you will hear a strange
noise from the micro-pump. In this case, press the steam switch Fig 2
(g) off, then press the power button off Fig 2 (h), unplug the appli
ance and fill the tank with water. Plug in the CVG, when you press the
temperature (On/Off) switch again, this noise will disappear and you
can begin to iron again.
ANTI-SCALE SYSTEM
The Compact Vapor Generator is fitted with a replaceable anti-scale
system consisting of a resin filter, which retains the mineral substances
in the water, preventing these from reaching the steam chamber in the
soleplate and thereby extending the life of your Velocity iron. If you so
wish, on this model you may replace the resin so that the iron is kept
in optimum condition. If you want to replace the resin, we recommend
you to do it every six months. Changing the resin does not mean that
you may overlook the advice about water hardness given in the section
“Before Starting To Iron.”
In the event of not changing the resin of this iron, it will be subject to
the effects of scale just like other irons. For replacement and before
removing it, make sure there is no water in the tank.
Turn the part, situated in the rear of the iron, in an anticlockwise direc
tion as far as it will go, and the arrow lines up with the open padlock
(approx. 180°) and pull it back.
To replace it, line up the arrow with the open padlock and turn it in a
clockwise direction, following the directions in the drawing, pressing
the part inwards at the same time, until reaching the padlock closed
position Fig 9.
