User Guide
Ironing
Ensure that the power is switched off at the wall.
Fill the base unit with water as described previously.
Place the base unit on a firm, flat surface.
Place the iron, either on the heat-proof iron rest on
the base unit or on the ironing rest of the ironing
board. If you stand the iron on the ironing board, it
must be stood on its heel in an upright position.
On the iron, use the temperature control dial to
select the appropriate temperature for the fabric.
Switch on the power at the wall socket. The indicator
light on the iron will light up, the power and status
light on the base unit will flash red and you will hear
a beep.
The indicator light on the iron will turn off when the iron reaches the selected
temperature.
Note:
During use, the indicator light will turn on and off as the thermostat
maintains the iron at the selected temperature.
The power and status light on the base unit will display a green light and stop
flashing once the base unit is ready to generate steam.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Note:
Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and, as a result, might
smoke slightly when the iron is switched on for the first time. This will cease after a
short while.
Using Steam
If steam is required, press the steam control button on the base unit control panel
until the appropriate level of steam for the fabric is selected.
The selected steam level is indicated by a blue light on the base unit control panel
steam level indicator as follows:
Low
Medium
Maximum
If the button is pressed when the steam level is at the maximum setting, the steam
level will be reset to zero.
Wait a few moments until the base unit has generated enough steam for the level
you have selected.

Spraying Steam
Select the required steam level as described above. Press the steam trigger on the
underside of the handle. Steam will then be sprayed from the soleplate of the iron.
Steam may be used when the iron is in a vertical position, to remove
wrinkles/creases from hanging garments, curtains etc.
CAUTION:
1. Do not apply steam to any clothes or fabrics that are being worn by
any person or pet. The steam temperature is very high and injury may
result.
2. Maintain a distance of a few centimetres from delicate fabrics (synthetics,
silk, velvet etc.), otherwise the fabric could be damaged.
Note:
If sufficient steam has not yet been generated, you will hear a rattling noise
caused by the action of a pump in the base unit.
Use of steam is only recommended for ironing at higher temperatures, as indicated
on the temperature control dial on the iron.
The appliance is equipped with an auto shut off safety feature. If steam is not used
for 15 minutes, the steam generator will switch off and enter 'sleep' mode. The
power and status light on the base unit will flash red and green alternately. Press
the steam control button to restart the appliance.
Spraying Water
Press the water spray button on the top of the iron to spray a thin jet of water on
the fabric being ironed.
