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:
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 that is coloured green and yellow MUST be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter E
(Earth) or coloured green..
The wire that is coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N (Neutral) or
coloured black.
The wire that is coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal that 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 that 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 EEC Directives: 73/23 EEC (Low Voltage
Directive) and 89/336 EEC (EMC Directive).
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED IRONING
•
Slide the steam selector to
and temperature dial to MIN.
•
Switch off at the socket and unplug the iron.
•
Open the water spout cover. Hold the iron over a sink and shake it to empty the water.
•
Stand the iron upright and leave to cool. Only when the iron is completely cool can it be stored in the bag
provided.
•
Always store the iron empty, standing upright in a safe, dry place.
CLEANING YOUR IRON
Before cleaning always ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool. Certain fabrics 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 damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive or
scouring pads to clean the soleplate.
•
To clean the water tank, fill the tank to the MAX line with water, close the cover and shake the iron to
dislodge any dirt that may be present in the tank.
•
To clean the steam hole, 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 down with a damp cloth also. 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.
