sition). You’ll need to fill the water tank beforehand; make sure you do this before you connect the iron to mains
electricity. The steam burst can be used at any setting (as long as the iron has reached operating temperature
and the heating indicator light has gone out); simply press the steam burst button. You may need to push the
button several times to ‘prime’ the mechanism. After using the steam burst, allow a few seconds for the steam to
penetrate the fabric and then iron it as usual. In order to maintain an adequate volume of steam, only operate the
steam burst function for a maximum of three times after the heating light has gone out.
To create a more effective burst of steam, wait for 3-10 seconds before pressing the button again. The amount of
steam will vary depending on the temperature; lower temperature settings generate less steam. To avoid drops of
water forming on the soleplate, only press the steam burst button for a short period.
Note: the extra burst of steam can also be operated when the iron is held vertically.
Self-cleaning function
The self-cleaning function extends the life of the iron by removing dirt and mineral deposits that accumulate on
the soleplate and steam nozzles after extended use.
1. Turn the steam control to 0 (steam off).
2. Fill the water tank to the maximum (MAX) level.
3. Connect the iron to the mains, then use the temperature increase button to select the LINEN setting. Wait until
the heating indicator light goes out.
4. Remove the mains plug from the socket. Hold the iron in a horizontal position above an appropriate surface
(e.g. a sink) and hold down the self-clean button for a while. The soleplate will release a large amount of
steam and water, washing away dirt and other deposits.
the soleplate releases a considerable amount of steam and hot water in self-cleaning
mode. take great care to avoid burning yourself or causing any damage.
anti-drip function
When the iron is being used normally, the steam release is automatically disabled at low temperatures. This
prevents any drips of water escaping from the soleplate. The anti-drip function does not work in self-cleaning or
‘steam burst’ modes.
Dry pressing
It is not necessary to fill the water tank when using the iron for dry pressing unless you require the water spray or
steam burst functions.
1. If you want to use the water spray during conventional ‘dry’ ironing, push the steam control to its minimum
position (towards the front tip of the soleplate) before filling the water tank.
2. Select the appropriate fabric type by pressing the temperature increase or decrease buttons.
3. Start ironing when the soleplate has reached the appropriate temperature and the heating indicator light has
switched off.
After use
1. When you finish using the steam iron, push the steam control (part no. 9) to the minimum position to prevent
any more steam being released.
2. Switch off the iron by pressing the temperature decrease button several times until the thermometer icon is
shown.
3. When the heating indicator lamp is off, unplug the iron from the mains and stand it on its heel rest. Wait for
the iron to cool completely.
4. Open the water fill/drain cover and tilt the iron into a vertical position with the front tip downwards. Shake
the iron gently to drain the remaining water into a sink.
Always drain any remaining water from the tank when you stop using the iron.
5. After draining the water tank, wipe the soleplate and body of the iron with a dry lint-free cloth.
Warning!
Never fill or rinse the water tank by holding the iron under a tap and never immerse the
iron in water.

Warning! Before you start cleaning, make sure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains.
You must let it cool down completely before you start cleaning. The iron must never be immersed in
water or held under a tap.
Cleaning the soleplate
To remove dirt and textile fibres from the soleplate, use a soft cloth soaked in a gentle non-abrasive detergent.
Wipe the soleplate with this cloth, then wipe it with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents or metallic
scourers as these can damage the surface of the soleplate.
Note: the surface of the soleplate can become slightly worn with use, particularly if used frequently or for ironing
rougher fabrics. This will not affect the operation or performance of the appliance.
