instructions

Read the instructions and keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass the iron on.

Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the iron works.

important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 This iron must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use

and store the iron out of reach of children.

2 Don’t put the iron in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or

outdoors.

3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

4 Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not

a joke – I’ve seen it happen).

5 Don’t touch the soleplate, and keep away from the steam coming from it.

6 Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.

7 Sit the base unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, preferably a purpose-built

“steam generator” type ironing board.

8 Don’t sit the base unit on a soft, carpeted, or upholstered surface, as this may block

the vents underneath the base unit.

9 Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or while it’s standing on the

ironing board. It could be knocked over by you, by a child, or by a pet.

10 Unplug before ﬁlling, before cleaning, and after use.

11 Don’t ﬁll past the max mark on the reservoir, or water may escape in use.

12 Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool

down fully before cleaning and storing away.

13 Don’t ﬁt any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.

14 Keep the cables and steam pipe away from hot parts.

15 Keep the iron and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.

16 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.

17 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.

18 The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens,

the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.

19 Don’t operate the iron if it’s dropped or damaged or if it malfunctions or leaks.

20 If the cable is damaged, the iron must be returned, in order to avoid hazard.

household use only

remove all packaging

•Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.

auto shut-oﬀ

•If you don’t press the trigger for about ten minutes, the elements will switch oﬀ.

•The base will beep and the 2button will ﬂash.

•To switch on again, press the 2button.

•No settings are lost during auto shut-oﬀ.

input the water hardness

,Before you use your iron, you must tell it how hard your water is, so that it can tell

you when the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing (ﬂashing P).

•Put the iron on the base unit and put the plug into the power socket (switch the

socket on, if it’s switchable). The base unit will beep, the buttons will ﬂash once.

•Press the 2button to switch the iron on.

•Press and hold the :button till the water hardness light starts to ﬂash.

•Now press and release the :button to move the light to LO, MI, or HI.

•Set it to LO if your water is soft to medium (0-100mg/litre), MI if it’s medium to hard

(100-200mg/litre), HI if it’s hard to very hard (over 200mg/litre).

•Now release the :button and wait till the light stops ﬂashing.

•That’s it – the iron will remember the level. You don’t need to do this again unless

you move to an area with harder/softer water.

•If you don’t know how hard or soft your water is, a neighbour might be able to tell

you. Failing that, contact your local water authority.

cure the element

•Iron an old piece of cotton fabric (an old towel is ideal) to clean any residues from

the soleplate.

•Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at ﬁrst, it’ll stop as the element cures.

preparation

1 Check for textile care symbols (ijkl).

2 Iron fabrics needing low temperatures jﬁrst, then those that need medium

temperatures k, and ﬁnish with those needing high temperatures l(or max).

ﬁlling

3 Fill the reservoir with tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water.

4 If the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing, and you don’t have a replacement, you

can use distilled water while you’re waiting for the replacement to be delivered.

,Don’t use chemically descaled water, or water from a water softener – softened

water can do more damage to your iron than hard water.

5 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for irons.

6 Don’t add anything to the water, and don’t use water with anything added to it.

When the water is converted to steam, chemicals, perfume, and other additives will

coat the inside of the steam chamber, shortening the life of the iron.

7 Jug ﬁll:

a) ﬂip open the ﬁller cap

b) ﬁll the reservoir to the max mark

c) close the ﬁller cap

8 Tap ﬁll:

a) press the 5button, to release the reservoir from the base – it’ll move about a

centimetre and a half away from the rear of the base unit

b) lift the reservoir straight up and oﬀ the base unit, and carry it to the tap

c) ﬂip open the ﬁller cap

d) ﬁll the reservoir to the max mark

e) close the ﬁller cap

f) align the “ﬁller cap” end of the reservoir with the supply pipe, and lower the

reservoir on to the rear of the base unit

g) push the reservoir towards the rear of the base unit, till the latch clicks into place

reducing temperature

17 Reducing the temperature takes a bit longer, as the element 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 (“preparation” page 4, point 2).

steam ironing

18 Check that the temperature control is set to Sor higher, or you’ll just get water.

,When you ﬁrst want steam, you must prime the pump. Squeeze and hold the trigger

till steam reaches the soleplate. This may take up to a minute. You’ll hear the pump

labour, then it’ll become quieter as the steam comes through.

19 Press and release one of the steam level buttons: 8= high, 7= medium, 6= low.

The button will ﬂash. Wait till it glows steadily, then start steaming.

switch on

9 Sit the iron on rests on top of the base unit.

10 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).

11 The base unit will beep, the buttons will ﬂash once.

12 Press the 2button to switch the iron on.

13 The 2button will glow to tell you the base unit is powered, the 9button will glow

to tell you the iron is in steam ironing mode, and the 8button (high steam) will

ﬂash to tell you the steam boiler is heating up.

14 When you press a button, the base will beep to acknowledge the command.

,If the instructions on the fabric label diﬀer from this guide, follow the instructions

on the label.

15 Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the mark.

,If you want to use steam, set the temperature to Sor higher, or you’ll just get water.

16 The thermostat light will come on to show that the iron is heating up. It’ll go out

when it reaches the set temperature, then cycle on and oﬀ as the thermostat

operates to maintain the temperature.

20 Squeeze the trigger to produce steam, release it to stop the

steam.

,Don’t let the water level drop below min while the iron is in use,

or you’ll have to prime the pump again when you reﬁll the

reservoir.

21 Don’t hold the trigger for more than about 5 minutes.

,Steam may still escape from the iron after you release the trigger. This is normal,

don’t worry about it.

dry ironing

22 You can dry iron by just not pressing the steam button, but if you want to make sure

you don’t press it accidentally, then you should turn the steam generator oﬀ.

23 Press and release the 9button to make the light in the button go out. Whichever

steam level button is lit (8, 7, or 6) will also go out.

24 To return to steaming, press and release the 9button again. The button will light

up, and whichever steam level button was lit (8, 7, or 6) will ﬂash

vertical steaming

25 Remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, hanging curtains, and furnishing fabrics.

26 Check that there’s adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may

build up, causing mildew.

27 Check that there’s nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.

28 Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuﬀs are empty.

29 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.

30 Check that the temperature control is at Sor higher.

31 Press and release one of the steam level buttons: 8= high, 7= medium, 6= low.

The button will ﬂash. Wait till it glows steadily, then start steaming.

32 Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.

,Hold it well away for delicate fabrics, and use low steam.

33 Squeeze the trigger to produce steam, release it to stop the steam.

34 Don’t hold the trigger for more than about 5 minutes.

,Don’t let the water level drop below min while the iron is in use, or

you’ll have to prime the pump again when you reﬁll the reservoir.

no water

35 If you do let the reservoir run out of water, the pump will start to get noisy.

36 Fill the reservoir (see “ﬁlling”, on page 4), then prime the iron again.

after use

37 Turn the temperature control to •.

38 Sit the iron on top of the base unit.

39 Press the 2button to turn oﬀ the base and elements.

40 Unplug the base unit

41 Top up the reservoir

a) this’ll give you a head start next time you use the iron

b) it’ll help to avoid inadvertently running out of water

42 Leave the iron to cool down completely before moving it or storing it away.

43 Turn to “cleaning” below, and clean the iron and base unit.

holidays

44 If you’re going to leave the iron for more than a week, it’s best to empty the

reservoir, to avoid mould.

45 The iron must be unplugged and cold.

46 Remove the main reservoir and empty it via the ﬁller.

47 Wipe oﬀ any excess moisture, then replace it in the base unit.

care and maintenance

changing the anti-scale cartridge

1 To reduce scale build-up, you must change the anti-scale cartridge regularly. How

often depends on the hardness of your water, and how much you use the iron.

2 As the base unit now knows the hardness of the water in your area, it will tell you

when to change the anti-scale cartridge (ﬂashing Pon the display).

,You must change the cartridge while the base unit is plugged in and switched on,

otherwise it won’t register the new cartridge.

caution wait till the iron cools before replacing the cartridge

3 When you see the ﬂashing P, turn the temperature control down as far as it’ll go,

and let the iron cool while you try to remember where you put the spare cartridge.

4 Tuck a folded towel under the rear of the base unit, as you’re sure to spill.

5 Remove the reservoir, otherwise it’ll empty itself through the cartridge tray.

6 When the iron has cooled down, use one hand to steady the base unit.

7 Put the ﬁngers of the other hand up and under the front of the cartridge tray.

8 The next part is just a bit tricky.

9 The cartridge is full of water, which will spill as soon as you pull the tray out.

10 If you can pull the tray out, and, at the same time, tilt it so that the rear of the tray is

higher than the front, then you won’t spill very much.

11 Give it a try, it’s easier than juggling.

12 Tip the old cartridge into the sink to drain.

13 Wipe any spillage from the base unit and cartridge tray, and remove the wet towel.

14 Remove the packaging from the new cartridge and drop it into the cartridge tray.

15 Replace the cartridge tray in the base unit.

16 Replace the reservoir in the base unit.

,Don’t try to speed up the process – go through all the steps above. If you replace

the cartridge within 5 seconds, it won’t register the new cartridge.

cleaning

17 Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool

down fully before cleaning and storing away.

18 Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.

19 Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar.

20 Take care not to scratch the soleplate.

21 Don’t put the iron in water or any other liquid.

22 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

connection

The product must be earthed. It has a 13A BS1362 fuse in a 13A BS1363

plug. To replace the plug, ﬁt the green/yellow wire to Eor E, the blue

wire to N, and the brown wire to L. Fit the cord grip.

If in doubt, call an electrician.

Don’t use a non-rewireable/moulded plug unless the fuse cover is in

place. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
