Note: Some parts have been lightly greased and the iron might
smoke slightly when switched on for the rst time. After a short
while, this will cease. We recommend passing the iron over a
clean cotton cloth before using it for the rst time.
The pilot light will turn ‘OFF’ when the indicated setting reaches
the correct temperature. The iron is now ready for use. During
use the indicator will come on and o as the thermostat main-
tains the iron at the correct temperature setting.
Steam Ironing
Steam Ironing should be carried out at the highest settings on
the temperature dial.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the Steam Control.
Move the steam selec-
tor to a suitable position
depending on the quan-
tity of steam required and
the ironing temperature.
Warning: the iron gives o
steam continuously only if
you hold the iron horizon-
tally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a
vertical position or by moving the steam selector to O.
Shot of Steam Button
This feature may be used during steam or dry ironing but only
when the iron is at highest settings.
Press the Shot of Steam button
to release a surge of steam. You
may need to press the but-
ton a few times to prime the
system. Wait a few seconds
for the steam to penetrate the
fabric before pressing the but-
ton again.
Use no more than 3 bursts at
any one time.
Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to cool, and the
pilot light will illuminate. If this happens, wait for the pilot light
to go out before using the feature again.
Vertical Shot of Steam
Warning: DO NOT allow anyone to come near you during this
process. NEVER allow steam to get anywhere near your body or
clothing or apply steam to clothes or fabrics that are being worn
by human or pets. DANGER OF SCALDING.
Hold the iron facing away from you at all times. DO NOT OVER-
REACH or operate the iron while standing on a ladder etc.
Method:
Set the iron to its highest temperature and wait for the pilot light
to go out.
Set the iron vertical. Hold the iron
away from you and 15 – 30 centi-
metres from the garment.
Press the Shot of Steam Button
once. Steam will penetrate into the
garment removing the wrinkles.
For stubborn wrinkles: set the
iron back on its stand and wait a
few seconds. Repeat the procedure
once more. Most wrinkles can be
removed within three presses.
Spray Button
Press the spray button to
spray water on the material.
It may be used for steam or
dry ironing.
Note: To avoid staining, do
not use the spray on silk or
synthetics, and be careful
when you iron delicate fabrics.
Note: For Spray and Shot of
Steam functions to operate,
the water tank must be at least one-quarter full. If these features
stop working place the iron on its stand and ll the water tank.
During Ironing: In between operations always stand the iron
on its heel. NEVER leave the iron face down.
After you have nished ironing:
Set the steam control to minimum.
Switch the iron o at the mains and unplug.
Stand the iron on its heel and let the iron cool down fully.
When the iron is cool:
Invert the iron, open the ller and pour away the excess water
from the tank.
When pouring away the water, gently shake the iron to remove
any loose particles from the tank.
Care and Cleaning
Unplug the iron from the mains and allow it to cool down fully.
Cleaning: To remove starch or other deposits from the sole-
plate, apply a small amount of mild cleaner to a damp cloth,
forming a paste on the cloth. Gently rub the soleplate, then wipe
with a moist cloth. The body of the iron may now be cleaned
with a barely damp cloth and then dried thoroughly. Do not wet
the appliance body, cord or mains plug.
CAUTION: Never use scouring pads, abrasives or harsh cleaners
on the iron body or the soleplate.
Storage: When not in use the iron should be securely stored
out of the reach of children. Store the iron on its heel with the
cord loosely looped. DO NOT wind the cord tightly around the
iron. If the cord has nbecome kinked during use, straighten it
out. Do NOT store the iron on its soleplate or you may damage
the nish.
