Operating Instructions
Before First Use
Remove any promotional material or packaging from the iron.
Remove any sticker or protective cover from the soleplate. When operating the iron for the first time, iron on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the soleplate and water tank are completely clean.
When the iron is used for the first time, some vapour may emit. After a short while however, this will cease. The vapour is due to the initial heating of the materials used in the iron. It is safe and will not harm the performance of the iron.
Table A
NOTE: As an important part of our quality control process, your iron has been individually tested. As a result, you may notice a small amount of condensation or water droplets on the inside of the water tank. There is no need for concern.
Setting the Temperature
Before commencing ironing, first sort the items to be ironed according to the International Textile Care Labelling Code or by the type of fabric.
Iron fabrics that require the lowest temperatures first. Work through to the fabrics requiring higher temperatures. Both the Temperature Control and most items of laundry have markings corresponding with this code (see Table A).
