OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
•Remove any protective films or stickers from the soleplate and the iron’s body.
•Wipe the soleplate with a dry soft cloth.
•Unwind and straighten the power cord.
•Fill the iron as described in the section “How to Fill the Water Tank”.
•Connect the appliance to a suitable mains power supply outlet.
•Turn the Temperature Dial to the MAX position.
•Wait until the pilot light cycles a few times or wait for at least 3 minutes for the
temperature to stabilize before ironing. Once the pilot light goes off after the cycle,
then the required temperature is reached.
•Move the steam knob to the ON position - steam will start to come out from the vents
on the soleplate.
•Begin first time ironing with an old towel.
•When the water tank is empty and there is no more steam that can be produced; the
preparation work is completed.
•The iron is now ready for normal use.
Note: It is normal for small amount of smoke to be produced the first time you use the iron,
this will quickly disappear. When using the steam function for the first time, do not direct the
steam towards the laundry, as there could be debris from the steam vents.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR IRONING
1. Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the
frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments.
2. Start ironing the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature and progress to the higher
ones because the iron heats up quicker than it cools down.
3. “Test iron” a small area on the backside or inside of the garment if you are unsure
about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
4. Wait for about three (3) minutes before ironing when changing the temperature. The
iron needs time to cycle to the temperature selected.
5. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing cloth to
prevent shine marks.
6. You may need to press the steam button a few times to activate the burst of steam
function.
7. Always keep the soleplate smooth – avoid contact with sharp, hard, metal objects.
TEMPERATURE SETTING GUIDE
1 Check for textile care symbols
If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the label.
HOW TO FILL THE WATER TANK
1. Disconnect the appliance from main power supply outlet.
2. Ensure that the temperature dial and steam knob are in the “MIN” and “OFF”
positions.
3. Open the water inlet cover.
4. Place the iron on its heel rest and tilt forward approximately at a 45-degree angle.
5. Fill water through the water-filling inlet hole up to the MAX level mark indicated on the
side of the iron/ water tank. Never fill above this mark. Pour the water slowly to
prevent an airlock and over filling.
6. Close the water inlet cover and wipe off any spillages on Iron.
Note: For the best result, it is advisable to use de-mineralized water or distilled water.
Do not use chemically de-scaled water or any other liquids
SWITCHING ON THE IRON
1. Set the temperature control to • and set the steam control to
2. Stand the iron on its heel.
3. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
4. Turn the temperature control to align the setting you want next to the marker. The
light will come on.
5. When the iron reaches the temperature you set, the light will go of. It'll then cycle on
and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
WATER SPRAY FUNCTION
This function can be used at any time and it does not affect other functions.
1. Water spotting affects some fabrics. Test this out on a hidden part of the fabric.
2. Lift the iron off the fabric.
3. Aim the spray nozzle at the fabric.
4. Press the button - you may have to press it 2 or 3 times to pump water through
the system.
NOTE: When using the water spray function, ensure that there is enough water in the water
tank.
BURST OF STEAM
This function works well for tough wrinkles and heavy fabrics. By pressing the burst of steam
button ( ) an intense burst of steam is emitted from the soleplate. This can be very useful
when removing stubborn creases. This function can be used once the iron has reached
maximum temperature. For optimal results, there should be a five (5) second interval
between presses of the burst of steam button.
To further prevent leaking water from the soleplate, do not press the burst of steam button
continuously for more than three (3) seconds. Allow at least a one (1) minute interval before
pressing the burst of steam button again. Stubborn creases should be removed within three
(3) burst of steam button presses.
VERTICAL STEAMING
Burst of steam can also be applied when holding the iron in a
vertical position. This function is useful for removing wrinkles on
garments in hanging position, hanging curtains, or other hanging
fabrics.
•Check that there's adequate ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture may
build up, causing mildew.
•Check that there's nothing behind the fabric that may be damaged by the steam.
Check that pockets, turn-ups, and cuffs are empty.
•Check that there's water in the reservoir.
•Set the temperature control to max and set the steam control
•Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.
•Press the steam burst button.
•Leave 4 seconds between shots, to let the temperature build up.
Note: It may be necessary to press the burst of steam button few times to start this function.
During the use of ‘Burst of Steam’, stop ironing when the pilot light turns on and then start
ironing again only after the pilot light has turned off.
Warning: Do not apply steam on any clothes or fabrics that are being worn by human or
pets. The temperature of the steam is very high and will burn or scald.
DRY IRONING
This function irons without the use of steam.
If you're going to be dry ironing for 20 minutes or more, empty the reservoir first to avoid
spontaneous bursts of steam.
1. Connect the iron with a suitable mains power supply outlet.
2. Set the steam knob to position “0”/ “no steam”/ “OFF”.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the correct ironing temperature according to the
recommendation of the garment label.
4. Wait until the pilot light cycles a few times or wait for at least 3 minutes for the
temperature to stabilize before ironing.
5. Once the pilot light goes off after the cycle, then the required temperature is reached.
6. After use, turn the temperature dial to the “0”/ “OFF”/ “MIN” position to switch it off.
7. Disconnect the iron from mains power supply outlet.
8. Follow cleaning and maintenance instructions.
STEAM IRONING
This function can only be used at a higher ironing temperature – moderate or max position.
1. Connect the iron to a suitable mains power supply outlet.
2. Set the steam knob to position “0”/ “no steam”.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the correct ironing temperature according to the
recommendation of the garment label.
4. Wait until the pilot light cycles a few times or wait for at least 3 minutes for the
temperature to stabilize before ironing. The pilot light will glow to indicate that the iron
is heating up.
5. When the required temperature is reached, the pilot light will go off. The iron is ready
to use.
6. After use, turn the temperature dial to the MIN position to switch off the iron.
7. Disconnect the iron from mains power supply outlet.
8. Follow cleaning and maintenance instructions.
Note: This iron has an anti-drip feature: if you are ironing garments for a long period of time,
the soleplate temperature may decrease. The anti-drip function will ensure that water does
not leak from the soleplate during this time.
SELF-CLEANING
This function removes the scale and minerals built up in the steam chamber. The iron will
remain in the best condition if this function is performed once every two weeks. You may
choose to use the function more frequently depending on the hardness of the water used or
water available in your local area.
•Make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the mains supply outlet.
