and will soon cease.  
-
Do not fill with any thing but clean water. If you  
have to refill while ironing, remove the mains  
plug from the wall socket before filling.  
Pour out any remaining water after use.  
Please read these instructions carefully before  
use.  
-
Important!: have you read the section “Impor  
tant Safeguards”?  
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE  
-
Insert the plug in the wall socket and stand the  
iron upright.  
CHOICE OF WATER  
-
Set the temperature control dial to the correct  
temperature as indicated in the ironing  
instructions on the label or as per table above.  
The correct temperature will be reached when  
the indication light has gone. The indication  
light will be on and off from time to time  
indicating that the selected temperature is being  
maintained.  
-
-
This iron can be used with normal tap water.  
If the water in your area is particularly hard. It  
is advisable to use distilled or demineralized  
water to prevent the scale forming on the  
critical point of the iron.  
-
-
Do not use chemically de-scaled water.  
FILLING WITH WATER  
-
-
-
Ensure that the iron is disconnected from the  
power supply before filling.  
Note: Water may leak from the soleplate if the  
temperature selected is too low.  
Turn the dry/steam selector dial to “0” or dry  
position.  
This will then cause stains. If it happens, Set the  
temperature control to the advised position for  
steam ironing. Steaming will re-commence as  
soon as the appropriate temperature has been  
reached.  
Fill water through the aperture using the  
measuring cup only. (If you fill the iron at the  
tap water can spill into the electrics and trip  
your earth leakage or blow the iron.)

Dot not use abrasives on the soleplate.  
Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact  
with metal objects.  
NOTE: Ironing dirty fabric or fabric not rinsed  
fully will result in the iron sticking and dirt  
accumulating on the bottom of the soleplate, as  
will a iron set at too high a temperature for the  
relevant fabric.  
PACKING THE IRON BEFORE TRAVELING  
Let the iron cool down completely.  
DRY IRONING

Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.  
Then cover the filler cap.  
STEAM-IRONING  
As indicated on the temperature control dial  
and the temperature table, steam ironing is only  
possible at higher ironing temperature:  
Ensure that there is enough water in the water  
tank.

not immerse the iron, cord or plug in water or  
other liquids.  
SAFETY PROTECTIVE CUT – OUT  
In the unlikely event of the thermostat failing, the  
protection cut – out will operate to prevent the iron  
overheating. The iron should then be taken to an  
authorized dealer/service agent for repair.

hot water or steam, Be caution when you turn  
a steam iron upside down: there may be hot  
water in the tank.

surface. Let the iron cool down completely  
before taking it away. Wind the main cord  
around the iron when storing.  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
1. Please read all instructions before use.  
2. Ensure the voltage rating on the type plate  
corresponds to the main voltage in your home.  
3. Use the iron only for its intended use.  
4. The iron should always be switched off before  
connecting or disconnecting from the power  
supply. Never yank/pull the cord to disconnect  
the plug from the wall socket.  
11.Always disconnect the main plug from wall  
socket before filing the iron with water or  
pouring the remaining water out.  
12.To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate  
another high voltage appliance in the same  
electric circuit.  
13.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a  
10-ampere (Europe) or 15 ampere (America)  
cord should be used. Cords rated for less  
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken  
to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or  
tripped over.  
5. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord  
or plug. Never use the iron if it is damaged in  
any way. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do  
not re-assemble the iron. Take it to a qualified  
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect  
re-assembling can cause electric shock when  
the iron is used.
