Shot of steam
E
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.
Vertical steam
Hold the iron in a vertical
position between 1cm and 2cm
away from the item
F
. Press
the shot of steam button
⁄
,
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
(certain models only)
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 two
‘power on’ lights, situated in the
back cover
„
, will flash to
show that the iron is in power-
off mode.
To reactivate the iron, gently
shake it until the ‘power on’
lights
„
stop flashing and
remain on.
The iron will then start to heat
back up to the temperature it is
set to.
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.
MAINTENANCE
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
G
.
Do not store in the box, but in
an upright position
H
, 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.
