Vertical steam
F
Hold the iron in a vertical
position between 1cm and 2cm
away from the item
F
. Press the
shot of steam button
fi
, 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.
Auto shut-off
(certain models only)
If your iron is fitted with the auto
shut-off function, it will
automatically shut down after a
set period.
If the iron is left unattended in
the horizontal position, it will
shut down after 1 minute.
If it is left in the vertical position,
it will shut down after 8 minutes.
The auto shut-off light
‡
will
flash, indicating the product is in
shut-down mode.
To reactivate the iron, gently
shake it, the temperature
indicator light will come on,
indicating the iron is warming
up. Wait for the iron to heat-up
as normal.
Life long anti-scale
system
(certain models only)
The life long anti-scale system
reduces scale deposits and
helps prolong the life of the iron.
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 soleplate
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 manufacturer’s
instructions. To clean off melted
man-made fibres, set the iron at
the 3 dot position and pass it
over a clean piece of cotton
which will draw the deposit off
the surface.
To clean a coated
soleplate
(certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any
man-made fibre fusing to the
soleplate, set the iron at the 3
dot position and pass it over a
clean piece of cotton which will
draw the deposit off the surface.
Do not use scouring powder or
solution as this could cause
damage to the coating.
