instructions

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

Remove all packaging, but keep it in case you ever need to return the iron.

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 it 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, return the iron, to avoid hazard.

household use only

remove all packaging

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

cure the element

•Before using the iron for the ﬁrst time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a

scrap piece of cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.

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

water

1 Use ordinary tap-water – the anti-scale cartridge will soften the water.

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

should 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.

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

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

5 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.

ﬁlling

6 Switch oﬀ before ﬁlling – press and release the iron switch and the boiler switch,

then unplug the iron.

7 Remove the reservoir:

a) put the ﬁngers of one hand into the grip under the front of the reservoir

b) press the catch on the top rear of the reservoir with the other hand

c) pull the reservoir out of the base unit

8 Fill the reservoir:

d) one of the tubes in the rear of the reservoir has a MAX mark inside

e) pour water into the other tube

f) ﬁll the reservoir up to the MAX mark (about 800ml)

g) don’t ﬁll past MAX, or water may escape in use

9 Replace the reservoir:

h) slide the reservoir into the base unit

i) check that the catch on the reservoir clicks into place in the base unit

j) prime the iron before use – see below

switch on

10 Sit the iron on the heatproof stand on top of the base unit.

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

12 Press and release the boiler switch, then the iron switch.

13 The boiler and iron lights will glow.

14 When the boiler is ready to generate steam (2-3 minutes), the steam ready light will

glow.

15 It’ll then cycle on and oﬀ as the boiler works to maintain the temperature.

16 If the temperature control on the iron is set above room temperature, the

thermostat light on the iron will glow, to show that the soleplate is heating up.

17 It’ll go out when the soleplate reaches the temperature set by the temperature

control, then cycle on and oﬀ, as the thermostat works to maintain the temperature.

priming

18 Prime the iron after ﬁlling the reservoir, to get water and steam through the system.

19 Hold the iron below the level of the base unit, and press the steam button, on top of

the iron.

20 You’ll hear the pump as it pushes water through the system, then, after 30 seconds

or so, it’ll start to quieten, and steam will come out of the soleplate.

21 The iron is now primed and ready for use.

preparation

22 Check for textile care symbols (ijkl).

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

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

set the temperature

24 Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you

require next to the mark.

ido not iron

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

on the label.

25 If the soleplate is at a lower temperature that the one you’ve set, the thermostat

light on top of the iron will glow, to let you know that the soleplate is heating up.

26 When the soleplate reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will go out,

then cycle on and oﬀ as the thermostat works to maintain the temperature

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

steam ironing

27 Set the temperature control to Sor higher – otherwise the steam might condense

on the soleplate, giving you water, instead of steam.

,When you ﬁrst want steam, you must prime the pump (page 4).

28 Press the steam button on top of the iron to produce steam, release it to stop the

steam.

29 Don’t let the reservoir empty in use, or you’ll have to prime it again when you reﬁll it.

,Steam may still escape from the iron after you release the steam button. This is

normal, don’t worry about it.

constant steam

30 For a constant stream of steam, press the steam button, then slide the latch (on the

rear of the button) back, towards the rear of the iron, to lock the button down.

31 Slide the latch forward, to unlock it, and revert to normal use.

dry ironing

32 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 iron with an empty reservoir.

33 Do your dry ironing ﬁrst, then switch oﬀ, ﬁll the reservoir, and do your steam ironing.

vertical steaming

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

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

build up, causing mildew.

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

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

38 Check that there’s water in the reservoir.

39 Check that the temperature control is at or higher.

40 Wait till the thermostat light goes out, then start steaming.

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

,Hold it well away for delicate fabrics.

42 Press the steam button to produce steam, release it to stop the steam.

no water

43 When the water level gets low, the low water light will ﬂash.

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

after use

45 Sit the iron on top of the base unit and turn the temperature control to •.

46 Press and release the iron switch and the boiler switch to turn them oﬀ.

47 The boiler and iron lights will go out.

48 Unplug the base unit (switch the socket oﬀ ﬁrst, if it’s switchable).

49 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

50 Let the iron cool down completely before cleaning it, moving it, or storing it away.

holidays

51 If you leave the iron for more than a week, empty the reservoir, to avoid mould.

care and maintenance

52 Unplug the base unit, and let it and the iron cool down fully.

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

54 Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar.

55 Take care not to scratch the soleplate.

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

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

the anti-scale cartridge

58 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.

59 An average user, steam ironing for 2 hours a week, should change the cartridge

every 4 to 6 weeks in a soft water area, or 2 to 3 weeks in a hard water area.

what to watch for

60 Keep an eye on the steam output. If this reduces substantially, then it may be time to

replace the anti-scale cartridge.

61 Look out for ﬂecks of scale on your clothes. If scale is getting through the iron, it’s

time to replace the anti-scale cartridge.

changing the anti-scale cartridge

62 This is best done when reﬁlling the reservoir, as you’ll have to top up the reservoir

after ﬁtting the new cartridge anyway.

63 After removing the reservoir from the base unit, simply lift out the old anti-scale

cartridge, drop in the new one, then top up the reservoir.

replacement anti-scale cartridges

64 Have the Model No. to hand, as we won’t be able to help you without it. It’s on the

rating plate (usually underneath the product).

65 Ring 0845 658 9700, or email ser[email protected], for prices, then purchase

replacements using VISA or MASTERCARD.

descaling the boiler

66 Descale the boiler every time you replace the anti-scale cartridge.

67 Leave it for a minimum of 4 hours to cool down completely (overnight is best).

68 Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of warm water in a jug.

69 It’s best to do this on top of a towel on the work surface in the kitchen, as you’re

likely to spill a bit, and you’ll need access to water and a sink (or a basin).

70 Remove the reservoir (you’re going to turn the base unit upside down).

71 Set the iron down on the work surface – take care not to scratch the soleplate.

72 Turn the base unit upside down.

73 Unscrew the cap.

74 Turn the base unit over, and empty the boiler into the sink.

75 Pour the vinegar/water mix into the hole.

76 Replace the cap and shake the base unit from side to side.

77 Leave it for half an hour, then unscrew the cap again.

78 Turn the base unit over, and empty the boiler into the sink.

79 Now rinse, to remove scale and vinegar:

a) unscrew the cap

b) turn the base unit over, and empty the boiler into the sink

c) pour fresh water into the hole

d) replace the cap

80 Repeat point 79 till the water that comes out is clear, free of scale particles, and

doesn’t smell of vinegar.

81 Finally, empty the boiler, replace the cap, turn the base unit upright, and store it

away.

82 Don’t let liquid get into the grille round the hole – if you do, turn the base unit

upright, and leave it somewhere warm for 12 hours, to dry out.

,Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a

repair charge.
