Vertical steam F

Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm and 2cm away from the item F. Press the shot of steam button fi, 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.

Auto shut-off

(certain models only)

If your iron is fitted with the auto shut-off function, it will automatically shut down after a set period.

If the iron is left unattended in the horizontal position, it will shut down after 1 minute.

If it is left in the vertical position, it will shut down after 8 minutes.

The auto shut-off light ‡ will flash, indicating the product is in shut-down mode.

To reactivate the iron, gently shake it, the temperature indicator light will come on, indicating the iron is warming up. Wait for the iron to heat-up as normal.

Life long anti-scale

system (certain models only)

The life long anti-scale system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.

Emptying and storing

When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the variable steam control is set at the ‘0’ position, lift up the fill cap and empty any remaining water out of the filling hole. Do not store in the box, but in an upright position, so that any drops of water remaining cannot leak out and discolour the soleplate G.

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 its heel H.

MAINTENANCE

To clean a stainless steel soleplate

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.
