Operation
Ensure the mains socket is switched off at the wall and
the Steam Control is OFF (see previous page).
Fill the iron with water as described above.
Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board rest and
connect the power cord to the wall socket.
Switch on the power. The pilot light will illuminate.
Select the correct temperature.
Turn clockwise to increase
and anticlockwise to reduce
temperature
.
Note:
Some parts have been lightly greased and the iron might
smoke slightly when switched on for the first time. After a short
while, this will cease. We recommend passing the iron over a
clean cotton cloth before using it for the first time.
The pilot light will turn ‘OFF’ when the indicated setting reaches
the correct temperature. The iron is now ready for use. During
use the indicator will come on and off as the thermostat main-
tains the iron at the correct temperature setting.
Steam Ironing
Steam Ironing should be carried out at the
highest settings on the temperature dial.
Steam ironing at lower temperatures may
cause water to leak from the soleplate.
The quantity of steam is regulated by the
Steam Control
.
Move the steam selector to a suitable position depending on the
quantity of steam required and the ironing temperature.

Warning:
the iron gives off steam continuously only if you hold
the iron horizontally. You can stop the continuous steam by
placing the iron in a vertical position or by moving the steam
selector to “0”.
Shot of Steam Button
This feature may be used during steam or dry ironing but only
when the iron is at highest settings.
Press the Shot of Steam
button to release a pow-
erful surge of steam.
You may need to press
the button a few times
to prime the sursystem.
Wait a few seconds for
the steam to penetrate the
fabric before pressing the
button again.
Use no more than 3 bursts at any one time.
Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to cool, and the
pilot light will illuminate. If this happens, wait for the pilot light
to go out before using the feature again.
Spray Button
Press the spray button to spray water on the material. It may be
used for steam or dry ironing.
Note:
To avoid staining,
do not use the spray
on silk or synthetics,
and be very careful
when you iron deli-
cate fabrics.
Note:
For Spray and Shot of Steam functions to operate, the wa-
ter tank must be at least one-quarter full. If these features stop
working, stand the iron on its heel and fill the water tank.
INCREASE
During Ironing:
In between operations and when filling the iron always stand
the iron on its heel. NEVER leave the iron face down .
After you have finished ironing:
Switch the iron off at the mains and unplug.
Stand the iron on its heel and let the iron cool down fully.
When the iron is cool:
Invert the iron, open
the filler and pour
away the excess wa-
ter from the tank.
When pouring away
the water, gently
shake the iron to re-
move any loose par-
ticles from the tank.
Care and Cleaning
After use, unplug the iron from the mains and allow it to cool
down fully.
Cleaning:
To remove starch or other deposits from the soleplate, apply a
small amount of mild cleaner to a damp cloth, forming a paste
on the cloth. Gently rub the soleplate, then wipe with a moist
cloth.
The body of the iron may now be cleaned with a barely damp
cloth and then dried thoroughly. Do not wet the appliance body,
cord or mains plug.
CAUTION:
Never use scouring pads, abrasives or harsh clean-
ers on the iron body or the soleplate as this may scratch the
surface.
Storage:
When not in use the iron should be securely stored out of the
reach of children. Store the iron on its heel with the cord loosely
looped around the body. Do NOT store the iron on its soleplate
or you may damage the finish.
