FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, however if you live in a hard water area, you should use
distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use
in irons.
• Unplug the iron from the wall power outlet.
• Set the steam control to
no steam.
• Lift the cover of the water inlet from the top to open it.
• Hold the iron with the soleplate horizontal.
• Fill slowly, to let the air in the tank escape, otherwise you
will cause an air lock and the water may overow.
• Do not ll past ‘max’, or water may spill whilst in use.
• Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCHING ON
• Turn the temperature control dial to 'nylon' and set the steam control to no steam.
• Sit the iron on its heel.
• Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet, and switch it on. The red light will illuminate.
• Turn the temperature control dial to bring the desired setting on the dial
next to the
mark on the tank.
• When the iron reaches the set temperature, the light will switch off.
• The light will cycle On and Off as the thermostat operates to maintain temperature.
AUTO SHUT-OFF
• If the iron is motionless, the element will switch off after 30 seconds if lying on its
soleplate or on its side and 8 minutes if it is sitting upright.
• The red light will blink continuously until you move the iron.
• To switch on again, lift up the iron, tilt it forward and then sit it upright.
• No settings are lost during auto shut-off
