descaling products.
To clean a stainless
steel soleplate
To keep the soleplate of your iron
clean and free of limescale, we
recommend that you use one of the
gentle chrome, silver or stainless
steel cleaners that are generally
available. Always follow the
manufacturers instructions. To clean
off melted man-made fibres set the
iron at 3 dot position and pass it
over a clean piece of cotton which
will draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean a coated
soleplate
(certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any man-
made fibre fusing to the soleplate,
set the iron at the 3 dot position and
pass it over a clean piece of cotton
which will draw the deposit off the
surface.
Do not use scouring powder or
solution as this could cause
damage to the coating.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over
with a damp cloth and mild
detergent, then wipe with a dry
cloth.

The shot of steam can be used
whilst dry ironing, providing there is
water in the tank, and the
temperature control is set within the
steam range.
Do not use shot of steam at
temperatures below the steam
range (1-DOT) shown on the control
dial.
Note: For optimum steam quality,
do not operate the shot more than
three times in succession.
Vertical steam
Hold the iron in a vertical position
between 1cm and 2cm away from
the item
E
. Press the shot of steam
button
fi
, this will create vertical
steam. This feature is especially
useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes, curtains, wall
hanging, etc.
Note; For optimum steam quality,
do not operate the shot more than
three times in succession.
No drip system
Your iron is fitted with a no drip
system which is designed to
prevent water escaping from the
soleplate when the iron is too cold.
During use, the no drip system may
emit a loud click, particularly during
heat-up or whilst cooling down. This
is perfectly normal and indicates
that the system is functioning
correctly.
Auto shut-off
(certain models only)
If your iron is fitted with the auto
shut-off function it will automatically
shut down after a set period.
If the iron is left unattended in the
horizontal position it will shut down
after 1 minute. When this occurs,
the indicator light will flash and a
beep will be heard.
If it is left in the vertical position it
will shut down after 8 minutes.
To reactivate the iron gently shake
it, the temperature indicator light will
come on indicating the iron is
warming up and wait for the iron to
heat-up as normal.
LIFE LONG ANTI- SCALE
SYSTEM
(certain models only)
The life long anti-scale system
reduces scale deposits and helps
prolong the life of the iron.
EMPTYING AND
STORING
When you have finished ironing,
unplug your iron. Ensure that the
steam to dry iron selector switch
⁄
is set at the
position, lift up the
fill cap and empty any remaining
water out of the filling hole
F
.
Do not store in the box, but in an
upright position, so that any drops
of water remaining cannot leak out
and discolour the soleplate
G
.
Important: The flex can be damaged
if wound too tightly around the iron
after use. Make a loose loop with
the flex and wrap it around the iron.
The iron must be cool before
winding the flex and storing on its
heel.
