HOW TO USE
Before first use
Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the sole plate or base (1).
Put the iron on its base and ensure the base lock button (2) is in the LOCKED position. Heat
up the iron to maximum temperature. Put the base lock button in the UNLOCKED position and
iron over a piece of damp linen, or other high temperature cloth (eg denim or tea towel) for
several minutes for the purpose of removing any residue on the sole plate.
Note: It is normal for a strange odour to come from the unit during the first use. This is due
to light oils used to preserve components during manufacture. The odour will disappear after
first use.
Operation
Open the water tank filler (7), then add clean water into the water tank (use the beaker not the
tap).
For best results and longer product life, use bottled or purified water – especially if
you live in a hard water area
. Make sure not to exceed Max level on the tank. NOTE: IF YOU
OVER FILL THE TANK THE WATER WILL LEAK BACK OUT AGAIN WHEN YOU PUT THE IRON
UPRIGHT.
Press down cover of water tank and you will hear a click if it is in the correct position.
Connect plug to outlet and turn temperature dial to your desired setting, which is determined
by the type of fabric you intend to iron. The indicator light (10) will illuminate.
Make sure steam control (6) is on dry (crossed out steam symbol) position then place the iron
vertically
Once sole plate temperature has reached the preset temperature, indicator light will turn off,
then set steam dial to your desired steam output or dry position and begin ironing. WARNING:
Do not touch the sole plate at any time during ironing. It will be very hot.
Press spray button a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make
sure that there is enough water in water tank. A few presses might be required to pump the
water through on first use
Steam shot function is best used at max temperature, as it helps remove stubborn creases.
The iron has an anti-drip function: if you are ironing dense garments for a long time, the
sole plate temperature can drop. To prevent water coming from the sole plate, the iron will
automatically reduce the steam output.
“Steam shot” can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position, so this is useful for
removing creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.
