Vertical steam
(certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position
between 1cm and 2cm away
from the item
F
. Press the shot
of steam button
⁄
, this will
create vertical steam. This feature
is especially useful for removing
creases from hanging clothes,
curtains, wall hangings, 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.
Emptying and Storing
When you have finished ironing,
unplug your iron. Ensure that the
variable steam control is set at
the “0” position, remove the fill
cap and empty any remaining
water out of the filling hole
G
.
Do not store in the box, but in an
upright position
H
, so that any
drops of water remaining cannot
leak out and discolour the
soleplate.
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 it’s heel.
MAINTENANCE
To clean a stainless
steel soleplate
(certain models only)
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 manufacturer’s instructions.
To clean off melted man-made
fibres, 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.
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 an
aluminium soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate clean and
free of limescale, make a paste of
mild scouring powder and a little
water. Apply a small amount to
the soleplate, rub and then
remove with a damp cloth. Wipe
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
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.
