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.

• To switch on again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright to return to operating temperature.
• The temperature light will ash the colour appropriate to the current setting till it reaches operating
temperature.
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.
TEMPERATURE SETTING GUIDE

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
overow.
4. Don’t ll 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 (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable). The iron will beep and
the light in the handle 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:

5. The temperature light will ash 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, n = no steam, w =high steam.
3. Wait till the temperature light stops ashing, then start ironing.
SPRAY
Water spotting aects some fabrics. Test this out on a hidden part of the fabric.
1. Lift the iron o the fabric.
2. Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric.
3. Press the Sbutton – 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 o the fabric.
3. Press the P 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 rst, to avoid spontaneous
bursts of steam.
1. Set the steam control to n .
2. Select the required temperature.
3. Wait till the temperature light stops ashing, then start ironing.
