IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
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. Use and store the appliance out of
reach of children under 8 years.
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.
Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
Don’t operate the appliance if it’s dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions or leaks.
If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.
h The surfaces of the appliance will get hot during use.
Do not store the appliance until it has cooled.
i Do not immerse in any liquid.
• Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll injure the wearer.
• Don’t use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
• Don’t scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
• The appliance has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens, the
appliance will stop working, and must be returned for repair.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Note: Any water droplets or condensation inside the water tank are a result of quality testing
prior to shipping.
• Remove labels, stickers and packaging from the iron and soleplate.
• Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first. This is normal and will soon disappear.
• Iron an old piece of cotton fabric, to clean the soleplate.
AUTO SHUT-OFF
• If the iron is motionless, it will switch off after about 30 seconds with the soleplate down, or about 8
minutes if it’s upright.
• The temperature light will flash yellow, and keep flashing till you move the iron.
• To switch on again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright to return to operating temperature.

PREPARATION
1. Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j first, then those that need medium temperatures k, and
finish with those needing high temperatures l.
TEMPERATURE SETTING GUIDE
Label marking Temperature setting
j cool – nylon, acrylics, polyester •
k warm – wool, polyester mixtures ••
l hot – cotton, linen •••
Max – denim Max
i do not iron -
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 marketed as suitable for use in irons.
1. Unplug the iron.
2. Open the water inlet cover.
3. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause an air lock and the water will
overflow.
4. Don’t fill past max, or water will escape in use.
5. Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCH ON
1. Sit the iron on its heel.
2. Put the plug into the power socket. The iron will beep and the light will come on yellow, to show it’s
in standby mode.
3. Press and release the temperature button to select the temperature you want.
4. The colour of the temperature light depends on the setting. The colours are:
Temperature light colour Temperature setting
Yellow Standby mode
Blue
•
Purple
••
Green
•••
Red Max
5. The temperature light will flash while the iron is heating up, then come on continuously when the set
temperature is reached.

REDUCING TEMPERATURE
This takes a bit longer, as the iron has to lose the heat it has built up, so be patient. It’s best to organise
your ironing so that you don’t need to reduce the temperature.
STEAM IRONING
1. When steam ironing, you must set the temperature to ••• (green) or max (red).
2. Set the steam control to the setting you want, S = no steam, S = high steam.
3. Wait till the temperature light stops flashing, then start ironing.
SPRAY
Water spotting affects some fabrics. Test this out on a hidden part of the fabric.
1. Lift the iron off the fabric.
2. Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric.
3. Press the *button – you may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system.
SHOT OF STEAM
This works with dry or steam ironing, as long as there’s water in the reservoir, and the temperature is set to
••• (green) or max (red).
1. Check that the temperature is set to ••• (green) or max (red).
2. Lift the iron off the fabric.
3. Press the ~ button.
4. Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
DRY IRONING
If you’re going to be dry ironing for 20 minutes or more, empty the reservoir first, to avoid spontaneous
bursts of steam.
1. Set the steam control to S .
2. Select the required temperature.
3. Wait till the temperature light stops flashing, then start ironing.
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 (red). Set the steam control to S .
2. Wait till the light stops flashing.
3. Lift the iron off the fabric.
4. Press the ~ button.
• Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
