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 30
seconds.
If it is left in the vertical position it will shut
down after 8 minutes. When this happens the
green auto shut-off neon will illuminate to
show that the iron is in power-off mode.
To reactivate the iron gently shake it until
the neon goes out and wait for the iron to
heat-up as normal.
Anti-scale system
(certain models only)
The anti-scale cartridge is designed to
reduce the build-up of limescale which
occurs during steam ironing, this will prolong
the working life of your iron. However, please
note that the anti-scale cartridge will not
completely stop the natural process of
limescale build-up.
Using your anti-scale iron for the first time
If you are using your iron for the first time
you will notice that there is no anti-scale
sachet present in the anti-scale cartridge. To
keep the granules in optimum working
condition they are stored in an air-tight
container located in the packaging of your
iron. To activate the anti-scale system you
must place the anti-scale cartridge with
sachet, as described below.
Filling / Refilling your anti-
scale cartridge
1
Empty any remaining
water from the tank, (see
emptying and storing
section).
2
To remove the anti-scale
cartridge from the iron
push in the clips on either
side of the cartridge and
pull it out.
3
Remove the cartridge lid
as follows, hold the
cartridge upright and
gently squeeze it by the
retaining lugs. Gently pull
off the lid. If you are
refilling, dispose of the
used sachet.
4
Remove the anti-scale
sachet from its packaging.
5
Fit the sachet into the
cartridge.
6
Replace the lid back on
the cartridge by aligning
the holes with their lugs
and pressing down until it
clicks shut on both sides.
7
Insert the cartridge back in
its hole. Push it in as far as
possible until you hear a
click.
8
Your iron is now ready to
use and the water tank
can be filled.
Refilling intervals
How often you need to refill your anti-
scale cartridge depends on how often you
use your iron with its steam functions and
how ‘hard’ your water supply is. Water
hardness varies greatly from one area to
another. For advice on the relative hardness
of your water, contact your local water
supplier.
If, on average you spend 2 hours per
week ironing, then we suggest you refill your
anti-scale cartridge as shown in the table
(page 7). If you iron more or less frequently
then you should alter the interval between
refills accordingly.
