Basic

safety

precautions

This iron is intended for domestic use only and NOT for commercial

or industrial use.

• Only use the iron indoors and keep the area you’re ironing well lit.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons

in order to avoid a hazard.

• Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than

8 years of age when it is energised or cooling down.

• This iron can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use

of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children

shall not play with the iron. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by

children without supervision.

Don’ts

• Don’t touch any hot areas on your iron. The soleplate on the iron

can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched.

• Don’t leave the iron unattended while it is connected to the mains

and before it has cooled down.

• Don’t use the iron if has been dropped, damaged, immersed

in water, left outdoors or has any visible signs of leaking.

• Don’t hold the iron under a running water tap, always use a jug to ll.

• Don’t touch the power cord with the irons soleplate.

• Don’t use the iron if the power cord or plug is damaged.

• Please contact our Customer Care Line on: 0330 026 8455

(Mon-Fri 8:30am to 6:30pm, Sat 9:00am to 5:00pm)

• Don’t handle the plug or use the iron with wet hands.

• Don’t pull or carry the iron by the power cord.

• Don’t use the power cord as a handle, pull the power cord around corners or

sharp edges or close a door over the power cord. Don’t unplug the iron by pulling

on the power cord.

• Don’t aim the steam jet at people, animals, plants and electrical components

or wires. Never touch the steam jet (there is a risk of scalding).

• Don’t use the iron with incorrect voltage as this may result in damage or injury

to the user. The correct voltage is listed on the ratings label.

• Don’t use the iron on clothing that are still being worn on the body.

• Don’t open the lling aperture during use.

Do’s

• Always switch o, unplug from mains and allow the iron to cool

down before carrying out any maintenance or troubleshooting.

• Always stand the iron in the upright position between uses and

keep the iron moving whilst in use. Leaving the soleplate in contact

with any surface for an extended period of time will cause damage.

• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on

which the stand is placed is stable.

• Always use the iron on a heat resistant, stable, level surface.

• Always unplug the iron from the mains before the water tank is

lled with water.

• Always ll the water tank with water only. Never add perfume,

descaler or products containing alcohol. Filling the water tank with

hot or boiling water will invalidate the warranty.

• Always ensure the soleplate and surfaces are free from grit and debris before use.

• Always carry the iron by the handle.

• Always empty the water tank when the iron is not in use.

• Always replace the fuse in the plug with a British 13amp fuse. Always protect

the power cord from heated surfaces or near open ames.

• Use only CE approved 13amp extension cords, non-approved extension cords

can overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the extension cord as it could be

a trip hazard.

• Before storing make sure the iron has fully cooled, the water tank is empty

and wrap the power cord around the iron. Store the iron in a cool, dry area

away from children.

Please keep instructions for further use and use only as instructed in this guide.

SolutionProblem

• The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket.

• Check the fuse in the plug if this needs replacing, always use

a British 13amp fuse.

The iron has no power.

• There may be no water in water tank, ll the water tank.

• The temperature control dial or steam control has not been set

to the appropriate settings. Go to ‘Getting started’.

• The iron has a build up of limescale, Go to ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

Why is the iron not

producing steam?

• The steam boost button has been pressed too often within a short period.

Continue ironing in a horizontal position, after a short period of time use the

boost button again.

• The temperature control dial has not been set at a temperature the steam

boost function can be used (

to Max). Stand the iron in the upright

position, adjust the control dial and wait for the heating indicator light to go

out before using the steam boost.

Why is the steam boost

not working?

What to do if it goes wrong

Why is the spray

burst not working?

• The water tank is not full enough. Unplug the iron from the mains and add

water to the water tank.

Why is the heater

indicator light ashing?

• The automatic shut o mode has been activated. Gently shake the iron to

re-use, the heater indicator light will illuminate red when heating up, the light

will turn green when temperature has been reached and ready to use.

Water is leaking

from the iron.

• The water ll cover is not correctly closed. Close the water ll cover.

• The steam boost button has been pressed with the control dial set at

the incorrect temperature. The steam boost function can be used

(

to Max).

• Excessive use of the steam burst button can reduce the temperature

of the soleplate temporarily meaning that it will need to heat up again.

If this happens the water may potentially pool in the ‘boiler’.
