Use the iron, or set it on its heel, on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface,
preferably an ironing board.
Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on
the ironing board.

If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the label.
FILLING
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). If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.
1. Open the water inlet cover.
2. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause an air lock and the water will
overflow.
3. Don’t fill past max, or water will escape during use.
4. Wipe up any spillage.
HEATING YOUR IRON
Your iron is heated by placing it onto the stand. The smart status light will show you when you need to
reheat your iron and when it is ready to use. The smart status light operates as follows:
Smart Status Light Remarks
Steady red Your iron is heating up
Flashing green Your iron is ready to use
Flashing red Your iron needs reheating but you can carry on ironing for a little longer
Flashing red, 3 beeps Your iron must be reheated as soon as possible
Slowly pulsing red Auto shut-off activated
Important Note:
Between ironing tasks always put the iron back onto the stand. This ensures the most efficient heating
and gives you the best performance from your iron.
1. Set the temperature control to the setting you require.
2. Put the iron onto the stand and plug the stand into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s
switchable). The smart status light will light up red and your iron will start to heat up.
3. When the smart status light flashes green your iron is ready to use.
STEAM IRONING
1. To steam iron, set the temperature control to l or higher.
2. Set the steam control to the setting you want, n = no steam, h= high steam.
3. When the smart status light flashes green your iron is ready to use.
SPRAY
Water spotting affects some fabrics. Test this out first on a hidden part of the fabric.
1. Lift the iron off the fabric.
5
2. Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric.
3. Press the sbutton – you may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system.
SHOT OF STEAM
1. Steam is available when the temperature control is at l or above.
2. Lift the iron off the fabric.
3. Press the hbutton.
4. Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
DRY IRONING
1. If you’re going to be dry ironing for 20 minutes or more, empty the reservoir first, to avoid
spontaneous bursts of steam.
2. Set the steam control to n.
3. Set the desired temperature.
4. When the smart status light flashes green your iron is ready to use.
VERTICAL STEAMING
Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.
• Check that there’s adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may build up, causing
mildew.
• Check that there’s nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
• Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.
• Check that there’s water in the reservoir.
1. Set the temperature control to max.
2. Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.
3. Press the hbutton (you’re using the “shot of steam” function vertically).
4. Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
AFTER USE
1. Set the temperature control to •.
2. Unplug the stand.
3. Open the water inlet cover.
4. Hold the iron over a sink, turn it upside down, and drain the water from the reservoir.
5. Sit the iron on the base and leave it to cool down completely.
6. When cold, wipe off any moisture, and close the water inlet cover.
7. Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
8. Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar – take care not to scratch it.
SELF CLEAN
To avoid scale build up, use the self clean function at least monthly in normal water areas, more often in
hard water areas.
You’ll need a basin or a large bowl to catch the water coming out of the soleplate.
1. Fill the reservoir to the max mark.
2. Set the temperature control to max.
3. Sit the iron on the stand.
4. Plug in the stand and wait till the smart status light flashes green.
5. Hold the iron over the basin or bowl with the soleplate down.
6. Move the steam control past n to C and hold it there.
7. Gently move the iron to and fro, over the basin or bowl.
8. Water and steam will wash scale and dust through the soleplate, and into the sink.
