IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
When using your new iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Use iron only for its intended use. For HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
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 examination 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.
9. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
10. 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.
11. If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect it from the power supply and
have it serviced by qualified service personnel.
12. The iron is not be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
13. Use caution when you turn on a steam iron upside down - there might be hot
water in the reservoir

BEFORE STARTING TO IRON
• Make sure you have removed the soleplate protector before starting to iron.
• With your 200IR unplugged, open the fill cap lifting it upwards (fig 1).
• Due to the high level of water hardness in most areas, Reliable recommends
that you always use distilled or demineralised water for ironing. You will thus
guarantee that your 200IR stays in perfect condition for as long as possible. If
you cannot find distilled water for any reason, be sure to use water that is low
in minerals. Well water, and other water types with a high mineral content, can
damage your iron and affect the lifespan of the product.
• Do not put any type of scale remover solvents or products in the water tank.
Do not use perfumed or ironing water either. These products can damage the
interior of the steam generation system.
• Fill the tank without exceeding the maximum level using the beaker provide (8
and keeping the 200IR upright. After the tank is full, close the cap (1).
• Keep the water-fill hole cap (1) closed during operation.
• Check the garment to be ironed to see if it has a label that indicates the
ironing temperature.
• We recommend that you classify garments by their required ironing
temperature and that you begin ironing with the garments that require the
lowest temperature (•).
• Ironing delicate garments with a temperature higher than necessary is harmful
for the fabric and causes burnt residue to get stuck to the soleplate.
• If you have any doubts about the temperature to use for a given garment,
perform a test on a part which won’t be seen, beginning with the lowest
temperature settings.
OPERATION
This appliance has been designed exclusively for ironing clothes. Do not use it for
other purposes.
If the appliance is hot, handle it carefully and do not touch the soleplate.
We recommend that the 200IR iron be rested horizontally on an approved, heat
resistant iron pad (optional IRAREST). Storing an iron vertically is less secure and
increases the risk of the iron falling, but with proper care is acceptable.
1. Extend the cable fully and plug in the iron.
2. Turn the temperature selector from the OFF position to the desired position
(see “TEMPERATURE SELECTION”).

3. If you wish, select ironing with steam (see “STEAM SELECTION”).
4. Take the 200IR by the handle and move the soleplate over the garment to
be pressed.
5. To switch off the 200IR, turn the temperature selector (3) to the OFF
position again.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The 200IR has 4 temperature positions for you to choose between, by turning the
selector (3).
Turn the temperature selector (3) as many times as required until the desired
temperature level is reached (fig. 2)
After turning the temperature selector (3) from the OFF position to any other
temperature position, the three luminous indicators will light up for a few seconds
and a beep will sound.
The temperature indicator will flicker until the temperature selected has been
reached. Once the working temperature has been reached, the indicator will light
up continuously (fig. 2).
STEAM SELECTION
The 200IR has two steam positions; medium steam and maximum steam. To select
the desired steam level:
1. Press the button (5) to select medium steam (fig. 3) or the button (6) for maximum steam (fig. 4).
If the steam function is selected without having reached the temperature
selected, the luminous indicator on the steam button selected (medium
or maximum ) will flicker until the working temperature is reached (fig. 5).
Once the temperature is reached, the luminous indicator of the temperature
selected •, ••, ••• or MAX and the LIGHT indicator of the steam button selected
(medium or maximum ) will no longer flicker simultaneously.
2. To stop the emission of steam, press the steam button again. A beep will
sound, the corresponding luminous indicator will switch off (medium or
maximum ) and steam will no longer be emitted automatically (fig. 6).
CONTACT SENSOR
The 200IR has a contact sensor which stops the release of steam immediately
after detecting lack of contact on the handle. This ensures lower power consumption as well as lower water consumption. The steam function switches back on
automatically when hand contact with the handle is made. If no steam selection
has been made, the sensor will not release any steam.
AUTO SHUT OFF: AUTO-PAUSE
The 200IR has an automatic switch off system.
10
It is switched off automatically 8 minutes after the last time it was used. This
means that once the device is activated, the 200IR no longer heats up and begins
to cool down.
At that moment a prolonged buzzer will sound and the three indicators will
momentarily light up. The light indicator of the temperature selected, (••), (•••)
or MAX will continue to flicker, indicating that the appliance has been switched
off.
To switch it on again, simply take hold of the handle. A buzzer will sound and the
200IR will return to the temperature and steam position selected before it was
switched off.
Remember that the period between being switched off and switched back
on again will affect the time that it takes for the 200IR to reach the desired
temperature.
AUTO SHUT OFF BYPASS
For those who want to leave their iron on for periods longer than 8 minutes at a
time (without the automatic shut off system activating) the Velocity 200IR has a
auto bypass feature that allows the iron to stay on indefinitely.
To activate this feature, simply press the maximum steam flow button (6) for 8
seconds (Fig. 4)
After holding the Steam Button for 8 seconds, the LEDs will flash for 5 seconds
indicating that the auto shut off bypass has been deactivated.
When the iron is unplugged, the auto shut off bypass returns to its default
position.
Do not leave your iron unattended while the auto bypass feature is activated.
FILLING WITH WATER
If while ironing the tank runs out of water, the three lights will start to flicker at a
frequency of 1 second.
1. Switch off the 200IR, keep it upright and fill the tank using the beaker
(8) provided.
Dry the 200IR with a dry cloth if any of the water spills out of the tank. If the
appliance were to run out of water completely with the steam selector activated,
you would hear a significant vibration sound from the micro-pump. Switch off the
steam selector to prevent any damage to the system. Switch off the appliance.
VERTICAL IRONING
It enables you to remove creases from delicate garments without having to lay
then on the ironing board: jackets, coats, curtains, suede garments, etc.
1. Place the garment on a hanger, away from the other garments, persons...
2. Select the desired ironing temperature with the temperature selector (3), stand
the 200IR upright and press either of the two steam buttons (5 or 6).
At Position (••) you will obtain a more humid visible steam which will be easier to
see, whereas at Position (•••) and (MAX) the steam is drier and, although the same
flow is maintained, will be less visible.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
ANTICALC SYSTEM
The 200IR is fitted with an innovative anticalc system consisting of a resin filter,
which retains the lime or mineral substances in the water, preventing these from
reaching the steam chamber in the soleplate and thereby extending the life of your
200IR. The existence of this anticalc system does not mean you can ignore the
advice on water hardness mentioned in the “BEFORE STARTING TO IRON” section.
CLEANING AND CONSERVATION
SOLEPLATE
1. Unplug the iron and let it cool down.
2. Use environment-friendly clay-based products to clean the soleplate.
3. To clean the outside of your 200IR, use a cloth moistened in soapy water.
4. Do not clean with abrasive chemical products or solvents as it may attack certain plastic parts and / or remove some of the marks and / or indications.
5. Store your 200IR in the horizontal or vertical position, with the cord round the
heel and secure it with the clip.
6. Although the power cord is fitted with a 360º rotational elbow, NEVER FORCE
this cord when winding it around the appliance on the first turn.
TIPS FOR DISPOSING OF THE USED IRON
Before disposing of your used iron, you should make it visibly unserviceable and
have it disposed of according to current legislation. Ask your Distributor, Town
