PREPARATION
1. Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j rst, then those that need medium temperatures k, and
nish with those needing high temperatures l.
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. Unplug the iron.
2. Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
3. Open the cover.
4. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause an air lock and the water will
overow.
5. Don’t ll past max, or water will escape in use.
6. Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCH ON
1. Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
2. Sit the iron on its heel.
3. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the mark. The light will come on.
5. When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the light will go o. It’ll then cycle on and o as the
thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.

SHOT OF STEAM
If you intend to use steam the temperature control must be at ~or higher.
1. Lift the iron o the fabric.
2. Press the ~ button.
3. 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 rst, to avoid spontaneous
bursts of steam.
1. Set the steam control to S.
2. Wait till the light goes o, 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 cus are empty.
• Check that there’s water in the reservoir.
1. Set the temperature control to max. Set the steam control to S.
2. Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.
3. Press the ~ button (you’re using the “shot of steam” function vertically).
4. Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
AFTER USE

8. When it’s cold, wipe o any moisture, and wind the cable round the heel.
9. Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.
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.
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
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. Set the steam control to S.
