Anti-drip feature
When the temperature of your iron is insufficient to create steam, the supply of water is cut off auto-
matically to avoid any drips from the soleplate.
Anti-scale filter
Your iron is fitted with a permanent anti-scale filter. This filter is fixed and cannot be removed for
cleaning. The filter is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale inside your iron. Limescale occurs
during steam ironing due to water hardness. Water hardness varies from one area to another. The
effectiveness of the filter will depend on how ‘hard’ your water is.
Safety auto shut-off function
Your iron will shut off if it has not been used for 15 minutes when resting on its heel, or 30 seconds
with the soleplate face down. The STANDBY light will flash indicating that your iron is now in auto-
shut off mode. To restart your iron, either press the +/- buttons or move your iron gently. The iron will
revert back to its previous setting.
Cleaning the soleplate of your iron
After each use, allow your iron to completely cool down before wiping 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. If
necessary, allow your iron to completely cool down then wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth
moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated spirits with a damp cloth then dry the
soleplate.
Self-cleaning function
Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning system. Never press the
self-clean button when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function once every two
weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be used more frequently.

iron an old piece of cloth to allow any remaining water to escape.

because they will damage the surface.
