Electrical Information

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage of your electricity supply is suitable for that indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The ultimate disconnection from the power source is the mains plug. Always make sure it is easily accessible to be unplugged in the event of an emergency.

This appliance is fitted with a fused three pin mains plug to BS 1363 which will be suitable for use in all houses fitted with mains sockets to current specifications.

If the fitted mains plug is not suitable, remove the fuse and dispose of the mains plug safely, immediately after removing it from the mains cable.

Fitting a new mains plug

If for any reason you need to fit a new mains plug, the mains cable must be connected as shown here. The wires in the mains cable fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Ironing Temperatures

Check the ironing instructions attached to the article (they are on a label showing a symbol of an iron). Always follow these ironing instructions. The indications on the iron’s temperature dial and the table below will help you.

If there are no ironing instructions but you know the fabric, then use the table below. The table is valid only for the actual materials and does not take account of any finish applied to the fabric. Textiles to which a finish has been applied (wrinkle relief, printed T shirts etc.) should be ironed at lower temperature.

If the fabric contains mixed fibres, select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester /

40% cotton mix at the temperature indicated for polyester.

Do not iron

Synthetics. Set Iron to LOW ( • )

Wool, Silk. Set Iron to MEDIUM ( • • )

Cotton, Linen. Set Iron to HIGH ( • • • )

The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Sort fabrics to be ironed into groups according to temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. Start by ironing articles requiring low temperature settings and progress to higher ones.

Note: Do not iron garments that are dirty or stained. The iron’s heat may set the stain.

Pure (100%) wool fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position and the garment protected by a dry cloth.

Before Using The Iron

Inspect the iron carefully.

Check that the voltage marked on the rating matches your mains voltage.

Remove any protective film from the soleplate. Polish the soleplate lightly with a clean soft cloth to remove any residues.

Maintaining the finish of the iron’s soleplate is essential. Keep the soleplate smooth: do not scratch it on metal objects (e.g. the edge of the ironing board, buttons, zippers, etc.) as these may impair performance.

Filling the Iron

Make sure the iron is unplugged from the mains socket and the Steam button is at Steam OFF position .

Tip the iron up slightly and fill it carefully with fresh water using the supplied filler cup.

If you live in a hard water area, it is advisable to use distilled or de-mineralised water. Avoid using water containing softeners, perfumes or additives.

MAX

Do not fill the iron above the max mark indicated on the side of the iron.

Operation

• Ensure the mains socket is switched off at the wall

and the Steam button is at Steam OFF position .

• Fill the iron with water as described above.

• Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board

DECREASE rest and connect the mains cable to the mains socket.

• Switch on the power. The mains indicator will illuminate.

• Select the correct temperature by turning the Temperature

Dial.

INCREASE

Turn clockwise to increase and anticlockwise to reduce temperature.

Note : Some parts have been lightly greased and the iron might smoke slightly when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this will cease. We recommend passing the iron over a clean cotton cloth before using it for the first time. The mains indicator will turn “OFF” when the indicated setting reaches the correct temperature. The iron is now ready for use. During use the indicator will light on and off as the thermostat maintains the iron at the correct temperature setting.

Steam Ironing

Steam ironing should be carried out at the highest settings on the Temperature

Dial . Steam ironing at lower temperatures may cause water to leak from the soleplate. The steam is regulated by the Steam button.

Steam OFF position:

Press the Steam button to cut off the steam emitting.

Steam ON

Press the position:

Steam to emit steam.

button

The iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by keeping the Steam button depressed for more than 5 seconds.

Shot of Steam Button

This feature may be used during steam or dry ironing but only when the iron is at highest settings.

Press the Shot of Steam button to release a powerful surge of steam. You may need to press the button a few times to prime the surge of steam.

Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the fabric before pressing the button again.

Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to cool, and the mains indicator will illuminate.

If this happens, wait for the mains indicator to go out before using the feature again.

Spray Button

Press the Spray button to spray water on the material. It may be used to steam or dry ironing.

To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or synthetics, and be very carefully when you iron delicate fabrics.

For spray and shot of steam functions to operate, the water tank must be at least one-quarter full.

If these features stop working, stand the iron on its heel and fill the water tank.

During ironing:

In between operations and when filling the iron always stand the iron on its heel.

NEVER leave the iron face down.

After you have finished ironing:

Switch the iron off at the mains socket and unplug.

Stand the iron on its heel and let the iron cool down fully.

When the iron is cool:

Invert the iron and pour away the excess water from the tank. When pouring away the water, gently shake the iron to remove any loose particles from the tank.
