This is perfectly normal as it shows that
the iron is maintaining the heat setting you
have chosen.
It is always a good idea to begin with
cool fabrics and work up to higher settings.
An iron heats up quicker than it cools
down so you’ll save time and electricity.
Features of your iron
Temperature indicator light
The indicator light shows that the iron is
warming up. When the required temperature
is reached the light will go out and will cycle
on-off during operation.
Dry ironing
You can use your iron as a dry iron only.
Make sure the variable steam control
⁄
is
set to the ‘0’ symbol.
Any temperature setting may be used
depending on the garment. The spray
feature may be used provided there is water
in the tank (see filling section). You do not
need to put any water in the tank when dry
ironing only.
Spray
Press the spray button
‹
and aim the
spray of water at stubborn creases. You can
do this whilst dry ironing providing there is
water in the tank. When using the water
spray it may be necessary to push the
button a few times to get the spray pump
primed.
Variable steam
Fill the iron with water as described in
‘Filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the
electrical socket.
The steam output can be varied from
low to high by sliding the variable steam
control
C
. When using the iron at the
bottom of the steam range, the steam
output should be adjusted to the lowest
setting.
The steam facility should only be used
on garments which are suitable for ironing
at 2 and 3 dot setting.
Shot of steam
Press the shot of steam
button
¤
to obtain a burst of
extra steam for ironing out
creases in heavy material such
as denim etc.
The shot of steam can be
used whilst dry ironing,
providing there is water in the tank, and the
temperature control is set within the steam
range.
Do not use shot of steam at
temperatures below the steam range shown
on the control.
Note: For optimum steam quality, do not
operate the shot more than three times in
succession.
