instructions
2
Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the iron on.
Remove all packaging, but keep it in case you ever need to return the product.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This iron must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use
and store it out of reach of children.
2 Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4 Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not
a joke – I’ve seen it happen).
5 Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.
6 Take care when emptying the iron – it may contain hot water.
7 Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.
8 Use the iron, or set it on its heel, on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably
an ironing board.
9 Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on the
ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child, or by a pet.
10 Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
11 Don’t fill the iron directly from the tap, use the jug.
12 Don’t fill past max, or water may escape in use.
13 Sit the iron upright when you’re not ironing, and when you store it away.
14 Leave the iron upright to cool before cleaning.
15 Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down fully before cleaning and storing away.
16 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory unless we supply it.
17 Keep the iron and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.

18 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
19 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
20 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.
21 Don’t use the iron if it’s dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions or leaks.
22 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.

filling
3 You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should
use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
4 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for use in irons.
5 Unplug the iron.
6 Turn the temperature control to •, turn the steam control to S (#3).
7 Lift the top of the water inlet cover to open it.
8 Hold the iron with the soleplate level.
9 Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise
you’ll cause an air lock and the water will overflow.
10 Don’t fill past max, or water will escape in use.
11 Wipe up any spillage.

then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
