1. Why is my iron not heating up?
Check that the main plug is properly inserted
or try plugging the iron into a different socket.
The temperature control may be set too low.
2. What is the right temperature for
my clothes?
It is essential to select the right ironing
temperature. The thermostat dial contains
international markers with dots corresponding
to three ironing temperatures.
Use the marker with 1 dot for synthetic fabrics.
Use the marker with 2 dots for wool and fabric.
Use the marker with 3 dots for cotton and linen.
3. Why did my iron smoke on the first use?
When heating your iron for the first time, you
may notice a small amount of odor and smoke.
This is simply harmless residue from the
manufacturing process that will quickly burn
off and disappear.
4. Can I fill the iron with water when it is
plugged in?
No, you must always unplug the iron
before filling it.
5. Why is my iron leaking from the soleplate
when I fill it?
Always set your iron to the "No Steam" ( )
function before you start to fill.
6. What is the vertical steam function used
for? How do I use it?
This function allows you to iron fabrics on
a hanger. Set the iron temperature to the
maximum position. Leave the item on a hanger
and gently pull the fabric with one hand. Press
the Steam Blast Trigger repeatedly and move
the iron from top to bottom.
NOTE: Never use
the vertical steam function on an item being
worn by anyone.
7. What water should I use in the iron?
Use tap water to fill the Water Tank. In hard
water areas, you can use a mixture of 50%
tap water and 50% distilled or demineralized
water. Do not use chemical additives, scented
substances, or decalcifiers in the water.
8. How can I avoid scratching the
soleplate of my iron?
To avoid damaging the soleplate, always place
your iron on its heel rest of its base, avoid
ironing over abrasive item (buttons, zippers,
etc.), and never clean your iron's soleplate with
abrasive or metallic pads.
9. Can I use my steam iron for dry ironing?
Yes, and you do not need to fill the tank with
water. Set the Steam Selector to off and set
the temperature to suit the type of material.
Once the iron has cooled down at the end
of an ironing session, wipe the soleplate and
around the steam holes to remove any burned
fibers that may have collected around the
steam holes.
10. How do I prevent water drips on
my fabric?
Do not use the Steam Blast Trigger intensively.
Wait a few seconds between each use. The
temperature button much be placed within
the Steam range (between 2 dots and MAX).
Use steam only when the iron is hot (the light
must be off).
11. What should I do to maintain my
iron correctly?
After use, empty the tank, close the steam
control, set the thermostat to minimum, and
stand the iron upright or place it on the base.
Use a damp soft cloth to wipe your iron and
never use cleaners or solvents.
12. Can the iron be used while charging on
the base?
Yes. Please lock the iron into the base before
using and follow the instructions before
pouring water into the Water Tank.
Frequently Asked Questions
Care & Cleaning
NOTE:
Before cleaning the
Phoenix Gold FreeFlight
in any way, make sure that it is unplugged from the
electrical supply
.
1.
Remove the Power Cable from the outlet.
2.
Place the iron in the vertical position and allow
to cool. This will enable any residual water
to dry. Be certain the appliance is thoroughly
cooled before cleaning.
3.
Clean the Ceramic Plate and the body of the
iron using a lightly damp, moist cloth. Do not
use abrasive scourers or brushes to clean any
part of the iron.
4.
Follow the Self-Cleaning instructions.
5.
After completing the Self-Cleaning cycle, turn
the iron on again and allow to heat for two
minutes to dry out any residual water inside the
steam chamber.
6.
If any synthetic fibers fuse to the soleplate, set
the iron on MAX and pass it over a clean piece
of cotton to draw the deposits off the surface.
7.
When the soleplate has cooled down, you
can clean it with a damp cloth. Then, allow
the iron to heat fully and activate the steam
setting, ironing on a discardable cloth to get
any remaining impurities that may have settled
around the steam vents.
The Self-Cleaning feature cleans inside the plate,
removing impurities. We recommend using it every
10–15 days.
1.
Fill the tank up to the Maximum Level
and set the Steam Selector (
#4, p. 6
) to the
"off" position.
2.
Place the iron vertically in the base.
3.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial (
#7, p. 6
) to
the Max position.
4.
Plug the iron into the power outlet and allow
to heat for 2 mins.
5.

place it horizontally over a sink or basin.
6.

)
repeatedly for around 1 min. to activate the
cleaning function. This will release both steam
and water through the soleplate to clear any
deposits. Repeat the above steps again if
needed, particulary in hard water areas.
Caution: When using the Self-Clean
function, hot water and steam will rush
through the soleplate.
1.
Unplug the appliance and let it cool
