BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the steam station and iron soleplate.
• Remove the water tank and rinse with clean water.
• Before using the iron for the first time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a scrap piece
of cotton or linen to remove any accumulated residues.
• The iron may give off an odour and small amount of vapour when switched on for the first time.
This is normal and will stop as the element cures.
FILLING
You may fill the water tank with tap-water, however if you live in a hard water area, you should use
distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use in irons.
• Remove the water tank by pulling it away from the body of the steam station using the grip on
the front of the water tank.
• Fill the water tank to the MAX mark. Do not exceed the MAX mark.
• Refit the water tank into the base unit.
PREPARATION
• Check for textile care symbols (
) on items to be ironed.
• Iron fabrics needing low temperatures
first, then those that need medium
temperatures
, and finish with those needing high temperatures
.

SWITCHING ON
• Sit the iron on top of the base unit.

BEFORE FIRST USE
•
Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
•
Before using the iron for the first time, or if it’s not been used for a long time, iron a scrap piece of
cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.

Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it will soon stop as the manufacturing residues evaporate.
FILLING/REFILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not
chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.
1. Remove the reservoir by pulling it away from the body of the steam generator using the grip on the
front of the reservoir .
2. Fill the reservoir to the max mark. Do not exceed the max mark.
3. Refit the reservoir into the base unit.
PRELIMINARY SETTINGS
1. Put the iron on top of the base unit.
2. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
3. Turn the unit on by setting the on/off button to I.
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you require next to the mark. The thermostat light
will flash until the iron has reached its desired temperature. Once the temperature has been reached
the light will remain on.
5. Use the steam control to select the amount of steam you want
(
m
= low,
l
= medium,
h
= high).
TEMPERATURE SELECTION GUIDE
1. Check for textile care symbols (

2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures first, then those that need medium temperatures , and finish
with those needing high temperatures (or max).

STEAM IRONING
1. If you intend to use steam, the temperature setting must be at

(

3. Squeeze the steam button to produce steam, release it to stop.
NOTE: When you first start your steam station and pull the trigger for steam ironing, there will be a
delay as your steam station pumps water from the reservoir to prime the system. This is normal
and may take 20-30 seconds. This will also happen after refilling the reservoir.

• Turn the unit on by setting the On/Off button to .
• The thermostat light will flash until the iron has reached its desired temperature. Once the
temperature has been reached the light will remain as solid blue.
• The temperature indicator light will cycle ON and OFF as the thermostat operates to maintain
temperature.
AUTO SHUT-OFF
• If the iron is motionless, the element will switch off after 30 seconds if lying on its soleplate or
on its side and 8 minutes if it is sitting on top of the base unit.
• The blue light will blink continuously until you move the iron.
• To switch on again, lift up the iron, tilt it forward and then place on top of the base unit.
• No settings are lost during auto shut-off
