• That’s it – the iron will remember the level. You don’t need to set it again unless you move to
an area with harder/softer water.
• Hardness is usually measured in ppm (CaCO3). As a rough guide, up to 50ppm is soft, from
50ppm to 120ppm is medium, and above 120ppm is hard.
preparation
1 Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2 Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j first, then those that need medium temperatures
k, and finish with those needing high temperatures l (or max).
3 Sit the base on the end of the ironing board, and put the iron on the base.
filling
4 Fill the reservoir with tap-water.
5 Don’t put anything in the water.
6 Unplug the base.
7 Put your hand up and under the front of the reservoir, squeeze the release
button, and slide the reservoir out of the base.
8 Flip up the cap at the front of the reservoir, and fill with fresh cold water.
9 Slide the reservoir back into the base, and press it home.
switch on
10 Put the iron on the base unit.
11 Turn the temperature control to • or above, to enable the
thermostat.
12 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s
switchable). The base unit will beep, and the display will flash.
13 Press and release the 2 button on the base unit – the display will
light up and beep, and the ready light will glow.
14 When the ready light goes off, the iron has reached the temperature you set.
temperature setting guide
15 Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you want next to the mark.
, If you want to use steam, you must set the temperature to S or higher, or you’ll just get water.

, If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the
label.
reducing temperature
16 If you’ve missed something, remember that reducing the temperature takes a lot longer
than raising it.
17 You must wait till the ready light glows, then goes off again, to ensure that the iron has come
down to the correct temperature.
low water
18 If the water level gets too low while you’re ironing, the base unit will beep, and the low water
symbol v will flash on the display.
19 Release the trigger, then fill the reservoir, prime the iron, and carry on steam ironing.
