This is perfectly normal as it shows that the iron is maintaining the heat setting you have chosen.

It is always a good idea to begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools

down so you’ll save time and electricity.

Temperature indicator light

The indicator light under the control knob shows that the iron is warming up. When the required temperature is reached the light will go out and will cycle on-off during operation.

Dry ironing

You can use your iron as a dry iron only. Make sure the variable steam control ‹ is set to the ‘0’ symbol.

Any temperature setting may be used depending on the garment. The spray feature may be used provided there is water in the tank (see filling section). You do not need to put any water in the tank when dry ironing only.

Spray

Press the spray button ¤ and aim the spray of water at stubborn creases. You

can do this whilst dry ironing providing there is water in the tank.

When using the water spray it may be necessary to push the button a few times to get the spray pump primed.

Variable steam

Fill the iron with water as described in ‘Filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the electrical socket.

The steam output can be varied from low to high by sliding the variable steam control C. When using the iron at the bottom of the steam range, the steam output should be adjusted to the lowest setting.

The steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at 2 and 3 dot setting.

Shot of steam

Press the shot of steam button ⁄ to obtain a burst of extra steam for ironing out creases in heavy material such as denim etc.

The shot of steam can be used whilst dry ironing, providing there is water in the tank, and the

temperature control is set within the steam range.

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

Vertical steam

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