Usage Features
Before First Use:
- Remove any stickers, protective foil, or storage cover from the soleplate.
- Select the correct voltage (115V or 230V) for your location using the voltage selector.
Ironing Process:
- Lift the Water Tank Cover (G) and fill the water tank to the MAX level mark.
- Connect the iron to the mains supply and put the Steam Switch (E) into the desired position (dry or steam).
- Select the correct temperature according to the garment label using the temperature dial (F). It is recommended to start with lower temperature garments first.
- The Steam Shot button (C) can be pressed to release a shot of steam when a higher temperature is selected.
- Always check for ironing instructions on garment labels.
- The iron heats up quickly, so start with articles requiring the lowest temperature (e.g., synthetic fibres).
- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, select the lowest ironing temperature for that composition.
- Iron silk and other fabrics prone to shininess on the inner side.
- To prevent staining, do not spray water directly on silk or delicate fabrics.
- For velvet and other textures that become shiny, iron in one direction with light pressure, keeping the iron moving constantly.
- Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) can be ironed with the iron set to a steam position, preferably with the steam button at maximum, using a dry cloth as a mat.
- When ironing woollen fabrics, shining may occur; it is suggested to turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
Safety Precautions During Use:
- Always ensure the voltage on the rating label matches your home's mains voltage.
- Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged.
- Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.
- Remove the plug by gripping it, not by pulling the cord.
- Do not let the cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not use on gas or electric cooking tops or near open flames.
- If an extension cord is necessary, ensure it is suited to the appliance's power consumption and placed to avoid tripping hazards.
- Not suitable for outdoor use.
- Do not carry the appliance by the power cord.
- Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.
- Always operate on a smooth, even, stable surface.
- Do not place the unit on a hot surface.
- Never switch on the appliance through an external timer or remote control system.
Maintenance Features
After Ironing:
- Disconnect the power supply.
- Allow the iron to cool completely.
- Empty any remaining water from the water tank.
- Reconnect the power supply and disconnect after the indicator light goes off; this dries the soleplate.
- Once completely cool, wipe flakes and deposits from the soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
- Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
- Store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.
Limescale Management:
- If you live in a hard water area, it is recommended to use bottled water for this iron.
- Excessive limescale build-up can reduce ironing efficiency and shorten the life of the iron considerably.
Disposal:
- Appliances bearing the WEEE symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) must not be disposed of with domestic rubbish.
- Old electrical and electronic appliances must be disposed of separately.
- Visit www.recyclemore.co.uk or www.recyclenow.co.uk for information on recycling electrical items.
- Arrange to take the appliance to your local Civic Amenity site for recycling once it has reached the end of its life.
