Electrical Information

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage of your electricity supply is

suitable for that indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The ultimate disconnection from the power source is the mains plug. Always make

sure it is easily accessible to be unplugged in the event of an emergency.

This appliance is ﬁtted with a fused three pin mains plug to BS 1363 which will be

suitable for use in all houses ﬁtted with mains sockets to current speciﬁcations.

If the ﬁtted mains plug is not suitable, remove the fuse and dispose of the mains plug

safely, immediately after removing it from the mains cable.

Fitting a new mains plug

If for any reason you need to ﬁt a new mains plug, the mains cable must be

connected as shown here. The wires in the mains cable ﬁtted to this appliance are

coloured in accordance with the following code:

If the colours of the wires in the mains

cable of this appliance do not correspond

CONNECT GREEN AND YELLOW TO EARTH (E)

with the coloured markings identifying

the terminals in your mains plug, proceed

as follows:

• Brown MUST be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter

Before reﬁtting the mains plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of

wire inside the mains plug. Only BSI or ASTA approved 13 Amp BS1362 fuses should

be used. If you are in any way unsure which mains plug or fuse to use, always refer to

a qualiﬁed electrician.

Note: After replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded mains plug which has a fuse

cover, the cover must be reﬁtted to the mains plug, the appliance must not be used

without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be obtained from an

electrical shop.

Ironing Temperatures

Check the ironing instructions attached to the article (they are on a label showing a

symbol of an iron). Always follow these ironing instructions. The indications on the

iron's Temperature Dial and the table below will help you.

If there are no ironing instructions but you know the fabric, then use the table

below. The table is valid only for the actual materials and does not take into account

any ﬁnish applied to the fabric. Textiles to which a ﬁnish has been applied (wrinkle

relief, printed T shirts etc.) should be

ironed at a lower temperature.

If the fabric contains mixed ﬁbres, select

the lowest ironing temperature of the

composition, e.g. iron a 60% polyester /

40% cotton mix at the temperature

indicated for polyester.

The iron heats up quicker than it cools

down. Sort fabrics to be ironed into groups according to temperature: wool with

wool, cotton with cotton, etc. Start by ironing articles requiring low temperature

settings and progress to higher ones.

Note: Do not iron garments that are dirty or stained. The iron's heat may set the

stain. Pure (100%) wool fabrics may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position

and the garment protected by a dry cloth.

Before Using The Iron

Inspect the iron carefully.

Check that the voltage marked on the rating matches your mains voltage.

Remove any protective ﬁlm from the soleplate. Polish the soleplate lightly with a

clean soft cloth to remove any residues.

Maintaining the ﬁnish of the iron's soleplate is essential. Keep the soleplate

smooth: do not scratch it on metal objects (e.g. the edge of the ironing

board, buttons, zippers, etc.) as these may impair performance.

Filling the Iron

Make sure the iron is unplugged from the mains socket

and the Steam Control is at Steam

Open the Water Filler & Cap, tip the iron up slightly and

ﬁll it carefully with fresh water using the supplied ﬁller cup.

If you live in a hard water area, it is advisable to use

distilled or de-mineralised water. Avoid using water

containing softeners, perfumes or additives.

Do not ﬁll the iron above the max mark indicated on

the side of the iron.

Operation

• Ensure the mains socket is switched oﬀ at the wall and

the Steam Control is at Steam

• Fill the iron with water as described above.

• Place the iron on its heel on the ironing board rest and

connect the mains cable to the mains socket.

• The Temperature Indicator will illuminate.

• Select the correct temperature by turning the Temperature

Dial.

Turn clockwise to increase and anticlockwise to reduce temperature.

Note: Some parts have been lightly greased and the iron might smoke slightly when

switched on for the ﬁrst time. After a short while, this will cease. We

recommend passing the iron over a clean cotton cloth before using it for the

ﬁrst time. The Temperature Indicator will go oﬀ when the indicated setting

reaches the correct temperature. The iron is now ready for use. During use the

indicator will light on and oﬀ as the thermostat maintains the iron at the

correct temperature setting.

Steam Ironing

Steam ironing should be carried out at the highest

settings on the Temperature Dial. Steam ironing at

lower temperatures may cause water to leak from

the soleplate.

The quantity of steam is regulated by the Steam

Control. Move the steam selector to a suitable position

depending on the quantity of steam required and the

ironing temperature.

INCREASE

(Max)

The iron gives oﬀ steam continuously only if you hold the iron horizontally. You

can stop the continuous steam by placing the iron in a vertical position or by

moving the steam selector to

Shot of Steam Button

This feature may be used during steam or dry

ironing but only when the iron is at highest

settings.

Press the Shot of Steam button to release a

powerful surge of steam. You may need to press the

button a few times to prime the surge of steam.

Wait a few seconds for the steam to penetrate the

fabric before pressing the button again.

Excessive use of this feature will cause the iron to

cool, and the Temperature Indicator will illuminate.

If this happens, wait for the Temperature Indicator

to go oﬀ before using the feature again.

Vertical Steam

Hold the iron upright and press the Shot

of Steam button for vertical ironing. If

the Temperature indicator illuminates,

stop pressing the Shot of Steam button

and wait until it goes oﬀ.

Spray Button

Press the Spray button to spray water on the

material. It may be used for steam or dry

ironing.

To avoid staining, do not use the spray on

silk or synthetics, and be very carefully

when you iron delicate fabrics.

For spray and shot of steam functions to operate, the water reservoir must be at

least one-quarter full. If these features stop working, stand the iron on its heel and

ﬁll the water reservoir.
