Vertical steam

(certain models only)

Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm and 2cm away from the item F. Press the shot of steam button ⁄, this will create vertical steam. This feature is especially useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.

Note: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.

No drip system

Your iron is fitted with a no drip system which is designed to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold.

During use, the no drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.

Emptying and Storing

When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the variable steam control is set at the “0” position, remove the fill cap and empty any remaining water out of the filling hole G.

Do not store in the box, but in an upright position H, so that any drops of water remaining cannot leak out and discolour the soleplate.

IMPORTANT: The flex can be damaged if wound too tightly around the iron after use. Make a loose loop with the flex and wrap it around the iron. The iron must be cool before winding the flex and storing on it’s heel.

To clean a stainless steel soleplate

(certain models only)

To keep the soleplate of your iron clean and free of limescale, we recommend that you use one of the gentle chrome, silver or stainless steel cleaners that are generally available. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

To clean off melted man-made fibres, set the iron at the 3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean a coated soleplate

(certain models only)

In the unlikely event of any man-made fibre fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at the

3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.

Do not use scouring powder or solution as this could cause damage to the coating.

To clean an aluminium soleplate

(certain models only)

To keep the soleplate clean and free of limescale, make a paste of mild scouring powder and a little water. Apply a small amount to the soleplate, rub and then remove with a damp cloth. Wipe thoroughly with a clean cloth.

To clean the exterior

Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
