Vary the steam output using the variable steam
switch (1), as shown above.
Plug in the iron and switch on at the mains.
Set the temperature dial (9a) (certain models only)
to the temperature required (see ‘Temperature
Guide’ on page 3).
The temperature illumination in the dial will
illuminate until the required temperature is
reached, then it will turn off.
Tip: We recommend the temperature indicator
light is allowed to illuminate and extinguish twice
for the temperature to stabilise before you begin
ironing.
The temperature indicator light will switch on and
off whilst you are ironing, as the iron regulates the
temperature.
Tip: Begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher
settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools
down so this will save you time and energy.

Temperature dial model
Make sure the iron is not plugged in. Set the
variable steam switch (1) to ‘O’. Fill the water
tank (10) via the filling hole (6). Fill with the iron
in a horizontal position to the MAX graphic on
the side of the water tank.
IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND
THE USE OF DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED
WATER.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water
containing any substances like starch, sugar,
fragrant additives or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.
NOTE: Please see point 2 of ‘Exclusions’ on
page 8.

Dry ironing
Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the
variable steam switch
(1)
to ‘O’ and set the
temperature as desired (see ‘Temperature Guide’
on page 3).
You won’t need water in the tank unless using
the water spray or steam boost features
.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases
from hanging clothes, curtains, etc. Hold the iron
between 1cm and 2cm away from the item and
press the steam boost trigger
(3).
Anti-drip system (certain models only)
This prevents water escaping from the soleplate
(8)
when the iron is too cold.
During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud
click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling
down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that
the system is functioning correctly
.
Anti-scale system (certain models only)
This system reduces scale deposits and helps
prolong the life of the iron
.
Auto shut-off (certain models only)
The iron will automatically shut down if stationary
in the horizontal position for 1 minute, or in the
vertical position for 8 minutes.
When auto shut-off is activated, a beep will be
heard and the indicator light
(4)
will flash.
Gently move the iron and it will reheat. Wait for
the iron to heat-up and continue ironing
.

To clean a coated soleplate
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this
could cause damage to the coating.
If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (8),
set the iron at the MAX position and pass it over a
clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the
surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp
cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.
When you have finished ironing, unplug and
empty all water from your iron and set the steam
switch at the ‘O’ position. When cool, store the
iron on its heel with the cord wrapped loosely
around the heel.
NOTE: Please see point 3 of ‘Exclusions’ on page 8.
Y
our iron has a built in cleaning system designed
to keep the water valve, steam chamber and
steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral
deposits.
