Using Phoenix Gold
®
for
the first time
Before ironing your clothing or fabrics for
the first time, it is recommended that you
use Phoenix Gold
®
on a damp piece of cloth
for a few minutes. This will ensure that any
residue left over from the manufacturing
process is burnt off the Ceramic Plate and
won’t transfer to your clothes.
You may notice a slight odour and a small
amount of smoke during this time, but this
is perfectly normal and should disappear
quickly.
In hard water areas, we recommend a
mix of 50% tap water and 50% distilled or
‘demineralised’ water.
Only use clean, pure water that contains no
contaminants or additional chemicals.
Important -
Each iron is checked at the
factory so some water may remain in the
tank.
Please flush the system by filling the
tank and setting the iron on the highest
temperature and the maximum steam
setting. Then allow the steam to flow, in a
well-ventilated and safe environment, until
the water tank is empty.
Do this at least once before first use and also
if you haven’t used your Phoenix Gold
®
for a
long period.

Note:
Some water can get trapped inside
the cap and come out of the small air hole
when the iron is held vertically. This is not a
leak, simply open the cap and empty out any
residual water.
Also, there can sometimes be a noise
created by air being vented through the air
hole in the cap. If this occurs, simply open
the cap to stop it happening.
2.
Plug Phoenix Gold
®
into the mains and
switch on. Ensure the Steam Button is off
(no light) and the Steam Control Dial is set
to Min.
Please note: If the Steam Button is on
before the sole plate has reached the
required temperature, the iron may spit
as it heats up. Please keep the Steam
Button off until the temperature light has
gone off again.
During use this light will go on/off
intermediately. This is normal as it is
a sign the thermostat is regulating the
iron during use.

When ‘topping up’ during use, you can
keep the Phoenix Gold
®
horizontal and fill
from the jug as necessary, taking care not
to overfill. Close the Cap when you have
finished.
