Dry ironing
To use your steam generator as a dry iron only,
follow steps 2 and 3 of ‘Using the Steam
Generator’ on pages 5 and 6. You do not need to
put water in the tank or select a steam level.
Steam function
During steaming, small amounts of water may be
ejected from the soleplate
(6)
. This is normal and
can be avoided by only using the iron when it is
at the correct temperature (the temperature
indicator light
(9)
on the iron
(5)
goes out when
ready).
Sudden jolts of the boiler unit can also cause
water droplets on the soleplate; therefore, do not
move the base unit during ironing.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases
from hanging clothes, curtains, upholstery, etc.
Hold the iron
(5)
between 1cm and 2cm away
from the item and press and hold the steam
trigger
(3)
for vertical steam.
WARNING: Do not use the vertical steam
feature on clothes that are being worn.

To clean a coated soleplate
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this
could cause damage to the coating.
If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate
(6)
, set
the iron at the MAX position and pass it over a clean
piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp
cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.
Replacing the anti-scale filter
The anti-scale filter 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 filter
will not completely stop the natural process of
limescale build-up.
How often you need to replace the anti-scale filter
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 you iron more or less frequently, then you should
alter the interval between refills accordingly.
To obtain replacement anti-scale refills, telephone
our spares number on:
0344 873 0710
.
If a new re-fill is not available, you may continue
operating the appliance but scale will build up in
the system. Replace the anti-scale refill as soon
as possible.

the power cord and steam supply cord. Damage to
cables caused by wrapping too tightly will not be
covered by the guarantee.
