Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the iron on.

A IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and

above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been supervised/instructed and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and
user maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are
older than 8 and supervised. Keep the iron and cable out of reach
of children under 8 years.

2 Set the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface,

preferably a purpose-built “steam generator” type ironing board.
3 Rest the iron only on the base unit.
4 Use the iron only on a stable surface.
5 Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in or standing on

the ironing board. It could be knocked over.

6 Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
7 Don’t use the iron if it’s dropped, damaged, malfunctions or leaks.
8 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.

h The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.

U Don’t unscrew the boiler access knob till the appliance has cooled down completely

(at least 2 hours).

L Don’t put the iron in liquid.

9 Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer.
10 Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
11 Don’t set the base unit on a soft, carpeted, or upholstered surface, as this may block

the vents underneath the base unit.
12 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
13 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
14 The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this

happens, the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.

household use only

C REMOVE ALL PACKAGING

• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.

C CURE THE ELEMENT

• Before using the iron for the first time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a

scrap piece of cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.

• Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it’ll stop as the residues evaporate.

C USING THE CLAMPS

1 Before switching on, press U on one clamp, to unlock the iron from the base unit.
2 If you forget, the expansion of the heating soleplate may lock the clamps into place.
3 If this happens, unplug, wait till the appliance cools, then try again.
4 After use, set the iron on the base unit, press L on one clamp, to move the tops of

both clamps inwards, and lock the iron to the base unit.

5 You may now carry the whole appliance by gripping the handle of the iron with one

hand, and putting the other hand underneath the base unit for support.

C WAT ER

6 Use ordinary tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water.
7 If the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing, and you don’t have a replacement, you

should use distilled water while you’re waiting for the replacement to be delivered.

8 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for irons.
9 Don’t add anything to the water, and don’t use water with anything added to it.

10 When the water is converted to steam, chemicals, perfume, and other additives will

coat the inside of the steam chamber, shortening the life of the iron.

C FILLING

11 Switch off (2), and unplug before filling.

the easy way

12 With the reservoir in place, and one eye on the x mark, pour water slowly into the

funnel in the rear of the base unit.
