Vertical steam ironing
Vertical steam ironing is especially useful for ironing items such as curtains while they
are hanging, or jackets, suits and coats.
Select a temperature setting higher than ●●
t
. Once the temperature indicator light
w
turns solid, your product is ready to use. Hold the iron in a vertical position and
press the steam trigger
r
as required.
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the soleplate. Do not iron/steam a
garment whilst wearing it. Do not operate steam in the direction of yourself or
anybody else.
Auto-off function
The iron has an auto-off safety function that will operate when your appliance has not
been used for 5 mins. The unit will enter a sleep mode and all the lights will turn off. To
restart simply pull the steam trigger
r
. The unit will restart and may need a short time
to reheat to the desired temperature, which will be indicated by the pulsing temperature
indicator light
w
.
Important
Your steam generator takes time to heat up and cool down. If you change the
temperature setting on your steam generator, you must give it time to adjust to the new
setting.
This is especially important when you change from a high setting to a lower one. It
takes your steam generator longer to cool down than it does to heat up and this is the
reason we recommend that you begin ironing at lower temperatures.
For example, you have been ironing using the ●●● setting and wish to change to the
●● setting:
1. Turn the temperature control dial
t
to set the pointer to the ●● setting. Initially,
the temperature indicator light
w
may pulse while the unit adjust to the new
temperature.
2. Wait until the temperature indicator light comes on solidly again. Your steam
generator has now cooled to the correct temperature.
Care and cleaning
Warning: Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean
the exterior of your iron.
Allow your iron to completely cool down and wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If
polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while your iron is still hot.
Wipe over the rest of your iron with a soft damp cloth then wipe dry. Do not immerse the
appliance or power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Self-cleaning
Only activate the self-clean when you want to activate the self-cleaning
system. Never activate the self-clean function when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. The steam generator has an
intelligent reminder cleaning mode which activates after continuous steam ironing over
a total of 25 hours. If you are in a hard water area you can perform the cleaning cycle
sooner than the allocated 25 hours by following the steps below.
The cleaning indicator light
q
will illuminate to remind users to clean the machine.
1. To activate the self-clean function, adjust the temperature control knob
t
to the
Max setting. Press and hold the self-clean button
q
for 3 seconds. The clean
indicator light will flash. Place the iron handset
e
on the cleaning tray
f
and
pull the steam trigger
r
once then remove hands from the handset, this will
initiate the cleaning function.
2. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate along with any
impurities. During the cleaning process there is no need to hold the product.
3. The cleaning cycle takes approximately 1 minute. When the clean indicator light
stops flashing, the cleaning cycle is complete, and you can switch off your unit
and store when cooled.
4. To cancel the self-clean function, press and hold the self-clean button for 3
seconds. The clean indicator light will stop flashing.
WARNING: Do not attempt to pick up the handset while the clean indicator
light is flashing as hot water and steam may be ejected. Only remove from the
cleaning tray once the clean indicator light has stopped flashing and you have
switched off the power. Always use the cleaning tray provided and do not leave
unattended during the clean cycle.
