Setting Guide

1.

Follow up the ironing instructions on the garment label. If there is not any instruction label, but you know what kind of the fabric is above, please refer to the fabric setting chart described in this instruction manual.

2.

The fabric setting chart is only valid for plain fabrics and not for materials to which finishes, glosses etc, have been applied. Textile to which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, crinkle, relief etc.) is best ironed at lower temperature.

3.

First sort laundry according to ironing temperature setting guide: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.

4.

The iron heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing articles that need to be ironed at the lowest temperature, such as those made of synthetic fibres.

5.

If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the temperature required by the most delicate fibres, i.e. the lowest temperature. for example, an article consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, according to the fabric setting chart it should be ironed for polyester and without steam.

6.

If you do not know what kind of fabric the article is made of, iron a piece of the material which is not visible when you wear to find out the appropriate temperature for your articles.

7.

Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) should be ironed with the iron setting to steam ironing position. It is advisable to set the temperature control button to “Max” position and use a dry pressing cloth.

8.

When steam ironing woollen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. You may prevent this by turning the article inside out and ironing the reverse side.

9.

After ironing cotton fabrics, do not iron articles reguring lower temperature

(such as nylon etc.) Immediately. It is advisable to adjust the temperature button to the lower setting, waiting for about 2-6 minutes till the power indicator light turn on and then turn off, and then you can start ironing.

IMPORTANT HINTS

Do not fill water tank with vinegar, perfume, starch, chemically descaled water or descaling agents, THIS WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

An empty tank will accept one litre of water, connect the appliance into suitable socket outlet. Press the power switch at base control panel until power indicator light turns on to show the connection of the power supply.

3.

Set temperature control dial at the steam ironing setting according to fabric setting chart. The temperature indicator light comes ON to indicate the iron being heated up(Refer to image), when temperature indicator light OFF ,the required temperature has been reached, the unit is ready for use. During use, it is normal that the temperature indicator light will cycle from ON to

OFF and then OFF to ON.This shows that steam chamber automatically keeps temperature constant.

4.

Before every first use, the iron should be cleaned using following procedure: Select adjustable steam knob to Max steam setting, hold the iron and press the steam switch underneath the handle for 20 seconds, and then release for 30 seconds, do this for two cycles. When heating indicator light OFF, it is ready for ironing. This process ensures optimal performance of the iron throughout its life.

5.

During steam ironing, adjust steam rate according to requirements based on above steam function setting

6.

After use, turn temperature control dial to “MIN” ,put iron back onto base unit, Switch off the unit by pressing the power switch and then unplug the appliance from the outlet.

7.

Take water tank out of the base unit and pour out remaining water from water tank.

NOTES: a.

For every first time use, it is normal that a slight vibration sound may be heard from electrical pump inside the base unit for a few seconds when steam ironing is started. It is because the water is being pumped into the heating chamber. If this happens for more than 30 seconds, please check whether water tank and filter assembled correctly or not.

b.

Every first time use, please set adjustable steam knob to Max position to allow steam escape quickly

Dry Ironing

Anti-Scale system

Fig.11

1.

Filter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale which occurs during steam ironing, this will prolong the working life of your iron. However, please note that the filter will not completely stop the natural process of limescale build-up.

2.

Filter should be replaced with a new one after about 2 months’ use.(base: 1.

0L / times x 2 times / week) Working life of filter depends on local water you used. If working life exceed its Max limit, the appliance can be used continuously, but limescale will be built up in steam chamber. So you should replace the filter as soon as possible or mix your tap water with distilled water at a proportion of 50%,if your local water is hard .

Emptying and storing

1.

After use, slide out the water tank and pour out all the remaining water.

(See Fig.12)
