FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, however if you live in a hard water area, you should use
distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use in irons.
•
Unplug the iron from the wall power outlet.
•
Set the steam control to
no steam
.
•
Lift the top of the water inlet cover to open it.
•
Hold the iron with the water inlet cover vertical.
•
Fill slowly, to let the air in the tank escape, otherwise you
will cause an air lock and the water may overflow.
•
Do not fill past ‘
MAX
’, or water may spill whilst in use.
•
Wipe up any spillage.
SwITcHING ON
•
Turn the temperature control dial to ‘
minimum
’ and set the steam control to
no steam
.
•
Sit the iron on its heel.
•
Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet, and switch it on. The red power ON
safety light will illuminate.
•
Turn the temperature control dial to bring the desired setting on the dial next to the
mark on the tank.
•
When the iron reaches the set temperature, the green Temperature Ready light will
illuminate.
•
The Temperature Ready light will cycle between red and green as the thermostat
operates to maintain temperature.
REDUcING TEMpERaTURE
This can take time, as the iron has to lose the heat it has built up. It is best to organise your
ironing so that you do not need to reduce the temperature.
STEaM IRONING
When steam ironing, you must set the temperature control dial above
silk/wool
, to ensure
the iron is in the steam temperature range. Make sure the water tank is full.
•
Move the steam control to the setting you want.
•
Once the green Temperature ready light
illuminates you can commence ironing.
•
The steam control is variable. Choose a position
between the
no steam
and
high steam
that
best suits your steam requirements.
NOTE: When steam ironing at the lower end of the
steam temperature range, it is preferable to set the
steam control to a low steam setting, in order to reduce
the incidence of water droplets.
