children under 8 years.
Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age
when it is plugged in or cooling down.
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.
Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
i Do not immerse in any liquid.
Don’t operate the appliance if it’s dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions
or leaks.
If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.

The surfaces of the appliance will get hot during use.
• Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll injure the wearer.
• Don’t use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
• Don’t scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
• The appliance has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens, the
appliance will stop working, and must be returned for repair.

PREPARATION
1. Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j first, then those that need medium temperatures k, and
finish 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
overflow.
5. Don’t fill 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 off. It’ll then cycle on and off as the
thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
TEMPERATURE SETTING GUIDE
Label marking Dot setting
j cool – nylon, acrylics, polyester •
k warm – wool, polyester mixtures ••
l hot – cotton, linen •••/max
i do not iron -
If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the label.
STEAM IRONING
1. If you intend to use steam, the temperature setting must be S or higher.
2. Set the steam control to the setting you want (S = no steam, # = high).
3. Wait till the light goes off, then start ironing.
SPRAY
Water spotting affects some fabrics. Test this out on a hidden part of the fabric.
1. Lift the iron off the fabric.
2. Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric.
3. Press the ? button – you may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through the system.
5
SHOT OF STEAM
If you intend to use steam the temperature control must be at ~or higher.
1. Lift the iron off 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 first, to avoid spontaneous
bursts of steam.
1. Set the steam control to S.
2. Wait till the light goes off, 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 cuffs 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.
AUTO SHUT-OFF
If the iron is motionless, it will switch off after about 30 seconds lying down, or about 8 minutes if it’s
upright.
The iron will beep and the light will flash continuously until you move the iron.
To switch on again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright to return to operating temperature. No
settings are lost during auto shut-off.
AFTER USE
1. Set the temperature control to •. Set the steam control to S.
2. Unplug the iron.
3. Open the cover.
4. Hold it over a sink, turn it upside down, and drain the water from the reservoir, via the water inlet.
5. Close the cover.
6. Sit the iron on its heel.
7. Leave it to cool down completely.
8. When it’s cold, wipe off 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.
