ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes
fitted with sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets,
it should be cut off and carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the discarded
plug into a socket.
FITTING A NEW PLUG
If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown
here. The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
E
Earth(green/yellow)
L
N
Neutral(blue)
13
amp
FU
SE
13amp fuse
Live(brown)
Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN to Live (L)
13 amp fuse to be used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your 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 coloured green. The wire which is coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N (Neutral) or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown MUST be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live) or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug.
Use a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure
which plug or fuse to use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must
be refitted to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement
fuse covers can be obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following EC
Directives: 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive) and 2004/108/EC (EMC Directive)
CARE AND CLEANING
Always unplug the iron before cleaning. Certain fabric finishes may leave a residue on the soleplate,
which can affect the performance and lead to ‘drag’ when ironing. This coating may be removed
by wiping the soleplate with a textured cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or
scouring pads to clean the soleplate.
• Disconnect the iron from the mains outlet.
• To clean the steam holes, take a damp cloth and wipe away any build-up of lint from around
the holes.
• Take care not to damage or scratch the soleplate by allowing it to come into contact with
metal objects such as zips.
• The upper body of the iron may be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or harsh
cleaners as they will damage the surface of the iron.
• Never immerse the iron in water or any other liquid.
• Never put vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
• Never use sharp or rough objects to remove the deposits on the soleplate.
