important if you live in a hard water area.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch,
sugar, fragrant additives or defrosted water from a refrigerator.

adjusting the temperature setting.
Do not use on fabrics that have the ‘Do Not Iron’ Symbol.
For stubborn creases, a MAX setting is available.

Using the iron
1) Filling the tank
Before first use, remove all packaging, including the protective cover on the soleplate. 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 A MIX OF 50% TAP WATER AND 50% 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.
Plug in the iron and switch on at the mains.
The iron will default to the IntelliTemp setting
every time the iron is switched on. If required,
press the ‘SELECT’ button to select the MAX
setting and to toggle between the two settings
(see ‘Temperature Guide’ on page 3).
The appropriate light flashes until the
temperature is reached, and then the iron
beeps.
Vary the steam output using the variable steam
switch (1), as shown above.
We recommend using a low steam setting when
IntelliTemp is selected. Use MAX steam when
the MAX temperature is selected.
2) Temperature Selection
4) Using the water spray
For stubborn creases, use the water spray
button (2).
If using for the first time, you may need to
press this a few times to pull the water
through.
5) Steam boost

3
Press the steam boost trigger
(3)
for an extra
steam burst for stubborn creases / heavy fabrics.
NOTE: If you need to use the steam boost whilst
dry ironing, check the variable steam switch
(1)
is
set to ‘
O
’ and add water.
NOTE: For optimum steam quality, do not operate
the shot more than three times in succession
.
3) Selecting the steam level
RN303131MUK Rev1.qxp_Instruction Booklet 31/01/2018 16:55 Page 4
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 button
(3).
Anti-drip system
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
This system reduces scale deposits and helps
prolong the life of the iron
.
Auto shut-off
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, the indicator
light
(4)
will flash.
Gently move the iron and it will reheat. Wait for
the iron to heat-up and continue ironing
.

Emptying and storing
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 4 of ‘Exclusions’ on page 8.
Cleaning the soleplate
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.
Self clean
Y
our iron has a built in self clean system
designed to keep the water valve, steam
chamber and steam vents clear of lint and
loose mineral deposits.
1Half fill the iron with water.
2Place the iron on its heel
(11)
.
3Move the variable steam switch
(1)
to the ‘O’
position.
4Connect to a mains supply outlet.
5Set the temperature to ‘MAX’. See step 2 of
‘Using your iron’ on page 4.
6
Leave the iron switched on, rested on its heel (11)
until the temperature reaches maximum, this is
achieved when the indicator light
stops flashing
and remains constantly on
.
WARNING: Keep hands and body away from
the hot soleplate.
7Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.
8Whilst the iron is still very hot, hold the iron
horizontally over a sink.
CAUTION: The soleplate will still be hot, so
ensure the power cord and plug are kept away
from it and the sink.
9
Push the variable steam switch
(1)
fully to the left
and hold in the self clean position
(5)
.
WARNING: Steam and boiling hot water will
drain from the holes in the soleplate. Keep
hands and body away from the hot water. This
washes away the scale and minerals that have
built up inside the steam chamber.
10
Whilst still holding the variable steam switch
(1)
in the self clean position, gently move the iron
back and forth until the water tank is empty.
11
When cleaning is complete, move the variable
steam switch back to the ‘O’ position.
12
Rest your steam iron back on its heel and allow
to fully cool down.
13
Wipe the soleplate
(8)
with a cold, damp cloth.
After this cleaning operation, empty out any
remaining water.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to descale the
soleplate with descaling products.

Troubleshooting
•No power or not heating up. 1. Check the fuse and the fuse rating (should be
13amp).
2. Try a different appliance in the socket as it may be
the socket that is at fault.
3.Check that the auto shut off has not operated.
•Overheating or not getting hot enough. 1. Press the ‘SELECT’ button to ensure the
temperature setting matches that recommended
in the “temperature guide” section.
2. Allow the iron to reach temperature and stabilise
for 1-2 minutes if it has just been plugged in, or
has just been woken up from auto shut off.
•Not steaming or poor steam. 1. Ensure the steam is set to the correct level (refer
to the “temperature guide” section).
2. Check that there is enough water in the tank.
3. The iron has an auto shut off feature which may
have activated. Wake up the iron and allow it to
reach temperature before using steam.
4. Perform a self-clean to clear away limescale
inside the iron (refer to “Self Clean” section).
•Dripping from the holes in the soleplate. 1. The steam level should be set lower if the
temperature is set to IntelliTemp (refer to the
“temperature guide” section) to prevent it from
dripping.
2. If the auto shut off feature has activated, wake up
the iron and allow it to reach temperature before
using steam.
•Tripping Electrics. 1. Try using a different socket.
2. Ensure there are no other appliances being used
on the same set of sockets as the iron.
•The filler cap is broken or does not close properly. 1. Call our helpline to order a new replacement filler
cap to be sent out.
