Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board rest and connect the power cord to the wall socket.
Switch on the power. The pilot light will illuminate.
Select the correct temperature.
INCREASE
Turn clockwise to increase and anti clockwise to reduce temperature.
The pilot light will turn ‘OFF’ when the indicated setting reaches the correct temperature. The iron is now ready for use.
During use the indicator will come on and off as the thermostat maintains the iron at the correct temperature setting.
Note: Some parts have been lightly greased and the iron might smoke slightly when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
Before using your iron for the first time:Pass the iron over a clean cotton cloth to remove any residue.
Steam Ironing
Steam Ironing should be carried out at the highest settings on the temperature dial. The quantity of steam is regulated by the Steam Control.
Move the steam control to a suitable position depending on the amount of steam required and the ironing temperature.
Warning: the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam selector to MIN.
