Features of your iron

Dry ironing

Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the variable steam switch (4) to ‘’ and set the temperature dial (8) as desired (see page 3).

You won’t need water in the tank unless using the water spray or steam boost features.

Vertical steam

Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc. Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from the item and press the steam boost button (3).

Anti-drip system

This prevents water escaping from the soleplate

(6)when the iron is too cold.

During use, the anti-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.

Life long anti-scale system (certain models only)

This system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.

Maintenance

To clean a stainless steel soleplate

We recommend using a generally available gentle chrome, silver or stainless steel cleaner. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

To clean a coated soleplate

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

To clean either soleplate type

If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (6), set the iron at the 3-dot position for a stainless steel soleplate, or MAX position for a coated soleplate, and pass it over a clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean the exterior

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

Emptying and storing

When you have finished ironing, unplug and empty all water from your iron and set the steam switch at the ‘’ position. When cool, store the iron on its heel with the cord wrapped loosely around the heel.
