Steam Ironing
Before Using The Iron
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 nish applied to the fabric. Textiles to which a nish has been applied (wrinkle
relief, printed T shirts etc.) should be ironed at lower temperature.
If the fabric contains mixed bres, select
the lowest ironing temperature of the
composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester /
40% cotton mix at the temperature
indicated for polyester.
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.
Inspect the iron carefully.
Check that the voltage marked on the rating matches your mains voltage.
Remove any protective lm from the soleplate. Polish the soleplate lightly with a
clean soft cloth to remove any residues.
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.

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 tted with a fused three pin mains plug to BS 1363 which will be
suitable for use in all houses tted with mains sockets to current specications.
If the tted 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 t a new mains plug, the mains cable must be
connected as shown here. The wires in the mains cable tted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
If the colours of the wires in the mains
cable of this appliance do not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your mains plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured
• Green and Yellow: MUST be connected
to the terminal which is marked with
the letter E (Earth) or symbol or
coloured Green.
• Blue: MUST be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter
N (Neutral) or coloured Blue or Black.
• Brown MUST be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter
L (Live) or coloured Brown or Red.
Before retting the mains plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of
wire inside the mains plug. Only BSI or ASTA approved 13 Amp BS1362 fuses should
be used. If you are in any way unsure which mains plug or fuse to use, always refer to
a qualied electrician.
Note: After replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded mains plug which has a fuse
cover, the cover must be retted to the mains plug, the appliance must not be used
without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be obtained from an
electrical shop.
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 ll it carefully with fresh
water using the supplied ller 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.
Maintaining the nish 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.
Do not ll 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
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.
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 rst time. After a short while, this will cease. We
recommend passing the iron over a clean cotton cloth before using it for the
rst 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.
Do not iron
Synthetics. Set Iron to LOW ( • )
Wool, Silk. Set Iron to MEDIUM ( • • )
Cotton, Linen. Set Iron to HIGH ( • • • )
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.
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.
Shot of Steam Button
Press the Spray button to spray water on the material. It may be used to steam or dry
ironing.
During ironing:
In between operations and when lling the iron always stand the iron on its heel.
NEVER leave the iron face down.
After you have nished 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.
Spray Button
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 ll the water tank.
To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk or
synthetics, and be very carefully when you iron
delicate fabrics.
