GETTING STARTED
1
Before first use.
Remove all adhesive remains and gently rub with a dampened cloth. Rinse the water tank to
remove foreign particles. When turned on for the first time, temporary vapours/odours may occur.
2
Filling the steam iron with water.
Make sure that the plug is removed from the power outlet. Turn the steam
selector to “OFF” and open the filling aperture cover (A). Using the beaker provided, pour water up to maximum
level (B). Raise the tip of the iron to prevent the water from overflowing while pouring. Close the cover (C).
This product is appropriate for use with tap water. It is recommended to use destilled water or a mix of 50%
destilled, 50% tap water.
3
Plug the power cable into a power outlet.
Turn the temperature selector to the desired heat. The power indica-
tor light indicates that the iron is heating up. When the light turns off, the iron is ready to be used.
Note:
If you lower the temperature during ironing, do not start again until the power indicator light turns on.
4
Iron with steam.
Turn the steam selector to a position between “OFF” and “ ”, depending on the quantity of
steam required. To iron without steam, leave the steam selector on position “OFF”.
Note:
The iron gives off steam continuously if you hold it horizontally. Stop the continuous steam by placing the
iron vertically or turning the steam selector to “OFF”.
5
Using the spray mist and steam jet function.
Ensure that the water tank is at least 1/4 full. Use spray mist to
pre-dampen fabrics by pressing the spray button several times to release a fine mist (A). To use the steam jet
function, ensure that the tank is at least 1/2 full. Press the steam jet button several times to prime pump (B).
6
Steaming hanging items.
The vertical steam jet function is ideal for steaming curtains, suits and delicate fabrics.
Hang the item on a hanger, hold the iron at a distance of 10–20 cm and press the steam jet button.
7
The appliance must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting the mains plug.
Never pull the sup-
ply cord. Instead, grasp the plug and pull. Empty the water tank and let the iron cool completely before storage.
CLEANING (DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENT)
8
Always store the iron
on its heel rest with the cord twisted loosley around the cable wrap facility.
To clean exterior surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as these will
damage the surface.
9
Self-cleaning function.
Hold the iron over a sink. Fill the filling aperture with water. Heat up the iron. Move the
steam button to self-cleaning position, hold for 60 seconds to empty water from the steam holes. Release the
button to stop the self-cleaning function.
10
Cleaning the soleplate.
Do not use scouring pads or harsh cleaners on the soleplate as these will damage the
surface. To remove burnt residue, iron over a damp cloth while the iron is still hot. To clean the soleplate, simply
wipe with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
THERMOSAFE™ (* CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)
11
Your appliance is equipped with ThermoSafe™
hot soleplate indicator which detects when the soleplate is
hot by changing its colour from black to red. Once the temperature of the soleplate is <40C°, the colour changes
back to black to show that the iron is ready to be stored away.
