Vertical steam (certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position
between 1cm and 2cm away from the item
D
. Press the shot of steam button ‹, this
will create vertical steam. This feature is
especially useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes,
curtains, wall hangings
etc.
Note: For optimum
steam quality, do not
operate the shot more
than three times in
succession.
Emptying
and storing
When you have
finished ironing, unplug
your iron. Ensure that
the steam control is set
at the ‘ ’ position, lift
up the fill cap and
empty any remaining
water out of the filling
hole.
Do not store in the box, but in an upright
position, so that any drops of water
remaining cannot leak out and discolour the
soleplate.
Important: The flex can be damaged if
wound too tightly around the iron after use.
Make a loose loop with the
flex and wrap it around the
iron. The iron must be cool
before winding the flex and
storing on its heel.
Maintenance
Jet cleaning (certain models only)
Your iron has a built in cleaning system
designed to keep the water valve, steam
chamber and steam vents clear of lint and
loose mineral deposits. The ‘jet clean’
should be operated after each period of
ironing.
To operate, ensure that there is little
water in the tank, place the iron on its heel
and turn the temperature control dial to the
maximum setting. Wait for the temperature
indicator light to go out, then unplug the
iron and hold it about 6’’ (150mm) above the
sink in the ironing position. Press the shot
of steam button about 10 times in
succession.
After this cleaning operation, empty out
any remaining water.
To clean an aluminium soleplate
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean
and free of limescale, make a paste of mild
scouring powder and a little water. Apply a
small amount to the soleplate, rub and then
remove with a damp cloth. Wipe thoroughly
with a clean cloth.
To clean a stainless steel soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean
and free of limescale, we recommend that
you use one of the gentle chrome, silver or
stainless steel cleaners that are generally
available. Always follow the manufacturers
instructions. To clean off melted man-made
fibres set the iron at 3 dot position and
pass it over a clean piece of cotton which
will draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with
a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
