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 speci cations.

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

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 re tting 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

quali ed electrician.

Before Using Your Steam Generator For The

First Time

Before Plugging In

Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one shown on the underside of

the steam generator iron.

Test the steam generator iron on an old cloth to make sure the soleplate and water

tank are clean. We recommend that you allow steam to disperse by pressing the

steam button in order to release any residues that may have built up during the

manufacturing process.

Using Your Steam Generator

Place the steam generator iron on the support of the ironing board or any other stable

surface nearby with the iron sitting on the iron rest. Make sure the steam generator

iron is unplugged and that the power and steam supply cords are unrolled and not

kinked.

Filling With Water

1. Remove the water tank by holding the grip on its

underside and pulling out.

2. Flip open the water tank cover and  ll the tank with

water. Close the cover.

Repeat the above step after prolonged periods of storage.

• Never  ll the tank above the MAX lever marked.

• A  lter is  tted to the steam generator iron and is designed to reduce the build

up of limescale prolonging the life of the steam generator iron. However it will

not completely eliminate limescale build up.

• Using  ltered water will also extend the life of the water  lter.

• The  lter should be replaced with a new one after 6 months if the steam

generator iron is used daily. To remove the  lter,  rst remove the water tank,

then grip the 2 protrusions on the  lter and pull  rmly to remove. Replace with

a new  lter. For replacements contact Partmaster 08706001338.

Re lling The Tank

If you want to re ll the water tank during the ironing process, always switch of and

unplug the steam generator iron  rst. Remove the tank and  ll with water.

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 into account any

 nish applied to the fabric. Textiles to which a  nish has been applied (wrinkle relief,

printed T shirts etc.) should be ironed at a lower temperature.

Do not iron

Synthetics. Set Iron to LOW ( • )

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

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

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.

• Do not add anything else to the water such as water from clothes driers,

scented water, water from refrigerators, air conditioners, batteries, bottled

mineral water or rain water. These contain organic waste or mineral elements

that become concentrated when heated and cause splitting, brown staining or

premature wear to the steam generator iron.

3. Replace the tank by pushing  rmly into place.

If the tank is not  tted correctly the steam generator iron will not operate

and

will appear on the display.

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.

Initially the display will illuminate for a short time and then

disappear. This will leave the two indicator lights around the

buttons situated either side of the display glowing.

Setting The Temperature

1. Plug the steam generator iron into the main socket.

The standby indicator will be visible on

the display when the iron is heating.

Dry Ironing

Following the procedure for setting the temperature (there is no need to  ll the water

tank). Press the right hand steam selection button repeatedly until

appears on the

display. Care should be taken not to press the steam button.

Steam Ironing

1. Follow the procedure for setting the temperature, making sure there is water

in the water tank. For best results when steaming we recommend that the

temperature control should be set to STEAM.

2. Use the steam selection button to select the amount of steam. Initially when

the iron is switched on the unit automatically displays

and will produce

the most steam in this position. To reduce the amount of steam press the

steam selection button again and will appear and if it pressed again is

displayed which is the least amount of steam. Each time the button is pressed the

unit will beep.

2. Press and hold down the stand-by button for at least 3 seconds. The iron will beep

and the display will illuminate.

3. Turn the temperature control to the temperature you

want. When the iron reaches the set temperature, the

temperature indicator light will go out. (During ironing,

this light will go on and o as your iron maintains the

right temperature.)

3. To produce steam whilst ironing clothes press the steam button. To stop steaming

release the steam button.

Never steam clothes being worn. Keep your hands away

from the steam and soleplate.

Always ensure that the iron is facing away from the user

and/or others when vertical steaming.

Auto Shut-oﬀ Function

If the steam generator iron is not used for more than 15 minutes, the iron will beep

and the display will  ash the auto-o symbol

and the display back light will switch

o . Press the steam selection button to switch the iron and the display back light on

again and to resume ironing.

After Ironing

1. To turn the iron o , press and hold down the display on/o button until a beep is

heard and the display switches o .

2. Unplug the appliance and allow to cool completely.

3. Empty the water tank.

Before starting to iron or if you have not used the steam function for a while, hold

the iron away from your ironing and press the steam button for 30 seconds and then

release for 30 seconds. Repeat this sequence twice more. This will enable any cold

water condensed in the steam cord to be removed from the steam circuit.

• Always ensure when steaming that the temperature control is set to STEAM

and that the iron has reached the correct temperature.

• If the soleplate temperature drops too low, steam will not be released until the

soleplate reaches the required temperature.

• When steam ironing woolen fabrics, shiny patches may occur. This can be

prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the reverse side.

Vertical Steam

Use to steam the creases out of curtains, hanging clothes etc.

1. Check there is water in the tank.

2. When the iron has reached the corrected temperature, pull the material slightly

with one hand and hold the iron upright with the other.

3. Tilt the iron forwards, then move it downwards approximately 10–15cm away

from the material pressing the steam button.
