FILLING DURING USE
You can fill your steam generator during
use. Simply remove the water tank
i
as
described above and add water as required.
Do not fill past the MAX indicator mark on
the tank.
Your steam generator will beep twice and the
power indicator light
o
will flash to let you
know that the water tank needs filling.
STEAM IRONING
The smart features of the iron prevent you
from creating steam in temperature settings
below
●●
. This is to ensure that delicate
fabrics are protected from ironing with steam.
It is recommended that for harder to iron
fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam
should be used when ironing.
WARNING: When ironing delicate fabrics
like nylons, acrylics and synthetics, Steam
should never be used.
1. Fill the water tank
i
with water.
2. Plug your steam generator into the mains
supply and press the on (I) /off (O) button
o
to switch your steam generator on.
3. Rotate the temperature control dial
t
to
set the pointer to between the
●●
setting
and the maximum heat (MAX) setting.
4. The temperature indicator light
w
will
pulse as your steam generator heats up.
When the temperature indicator light
turns solid your steam generator is ready
to use.
5. With the soleplate in contact with the
garment, press the steam trigger
r
for
a couple of seconds. It is not necessary
to hold the trigger down continuously
as steam will still be emitted from the
soleplate for a short time after the trigger
has been released. If more steam is
required, press the steam trigger again.
6. To operate the steam boost function,
double-click the steam trigger quickly.
The iron will generate a highly
concentrated steam boost for a short
period of time.
Always release the steam trigger and allow
any residual steam to be released before
replacing the iron on its stand.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM
If you intend to dry-iron fabrics, there is no
need to fill the water tank. However, if water
is already in the water tank, you do not need
to empty it.
1. Rotate the temperature control dial
t
to set the pointer to the desired heat
setting.
2. When the temperature indicator light
w
turns solid your steam generator is ready
to use.
3. Iron your laundry without pressing the
steam trigger
r
.
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.
