BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Fill the water tank with clean water, and then empty the water to ensure the tank is clean of
any manufacturing residues. Rell the tank.
• The iron may give off an odour and small amount of vapour when switched on for the rst
time. This is normal and will stop as the element cures.
• Press the
burst of steam button 3 or 4 times, to prime and ush clean water through the
burst of steam pump.
• Press the
cool spray mist button 3 or 4 times, to prime and ush clean water through the
cool spray mist pump.
• Iron an old piece of dampened cotton fabric or linen, to clean the soleplate.
PREPARATION
• Check the textile care symbols, whether or not the garment can be ironed.
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.
• Open the water inlet cover.
• Hold the iron with the water inlet horizontal.
• Fill slowly, to let the air in the tank escape, otherwise you
will cause an air lock and the water may overow.
• Do not ll past ‘max’, or water may spill whilst in use.
• Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCHING ON
• 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 light will slowly pulse on and off as your iron heats up.
• When the iron reaches the set temperature, the light will stay on.
STEAM IRONING
• The steam control is variable. Choose a position between no steam, low steam and
high steam that best suits your steam requirements.
• The light will slowly pulse on and off as your iron heats up. When your iron is ready to use, the
light will stay on.
