, this
will create vertical steam. This feature is
especially useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings,
etc.
Note; For optimum steam quality, do not
operate the shot more than three times in
succession.
No drip system
Your iron is fitted with a no drip system
which is designed to prevent water
escaping from the soleplate when the iron is
too cold.
During use, the no drip system may emit
a loud click, particularly during heat-up or
whilst cooling down. This is perfectly
normal and indicates that the system is
functioning correctly.
Emptying and storing
When you have
finished ironing,
unplug your iron.
Ensure that the
variable steam
control is set at the
‘0’ position, lift up
the fill cap and
empty any remaining
water out of the filling hole.
Do not store in the box, but in an upright
position, so that any drops of water
remaining cannot leak out and discolour the
soleplate.
Important: The flex can
be damaged if wound too
tightly around the iron after
use. Make a loose loop with
the flex and wrap it around
the iron. The iron must be
cool before winding the flex
and storing on its heel.
Maintenance
To clean a stainless steel
or anodised soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean
and free of limescale, we recommend that
you use one of the gentle chrome, silver or
stainless steel cleaners that are generally
available. Always follow the manufacturers
instructions. To clean off melted man-made
fibres set the iron at 3 dot position and
pass it over a clean piece of cotton which
will draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with
a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
