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 Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.

2

3 Sit the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface,

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

the ironing board. It could be knocked over.
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.

L Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

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 sit the base unit on a soft, carpeted, or upholstered surface, as this may block

the vents underneath the base unit.
12 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
13 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
14 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
15 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 WAT ER

1 Use ordinary tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water.
2 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.

3 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for irons.
4 Don’t add anything to the water, and don’t use water with anything added to it.
5 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

6 Switch off before filling.
7 Remove the reservoir:

a) put the fingers of one hand into the grip under the front of the reservoir

b) steady the base unit with the other hand

c) pull the reservoir out of the base unit

8 Pour water into the front hole in the top of the reservoir, up to, but not over max.
