Features of your iron

Dry ironing

Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the steam switch (2) to ‘O’ 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).

Models without No drip system

Do not store the product with water in the tank as water may leak from the soleplate (7) if you forget to turn the steam switch (2) to ‘0’.

Remember to only turn the steam switch (2) to steam when the control dial is set to a temperature within the steam range.

Remember: the lower the temperature setting, the lower the steam setting.

Life long anti-scale system (certain models only)

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

Auto shut-off (certain models only)

The iron will automatically shut down if stationary in the horizontal position for 1 minute, or the vertical position for 8 minutes.

No drip system (certain models only)

This prevents water escaping from the soleplate

(7)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.

The auto shut-off indicator (5) will flash and an intermittent beep will be audible.

Gently shake the iron to reactivate. The temperature indicator light (9) will come on. Wait for the iron to heat-up and continue ironing.

Maintenance

To clean a coated soleplate

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

In the unlikely event of any man-made fibre fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at the MAX position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.

IMPORTANT: Do not descale the soleplate with descaling products, proprietary cleaning agents or vinegar when flushing out the soleplate.

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.

Emptying and storing

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