Temperature control
1 Plug in the iron and switch on at the
mains. The ‘power on’ indicator
lights
„ located in the back cover
will illuminate.
2 Set the temperature control dial ‡
to the temperature required, but
don’t start ironing immediately. The
indicator light under the control dial
shows that the iron is warming up.
3 After a few minutes the iron will
stabilise at the required temperature
and the indicator light will go out.
It will cycle on-off during operation
to show that the iron is maintaining
the selected temperature.
It is always a good idea to begin
with cool fabrics and work up to
higher settings. An iron heats up
quicker than it cools down so you’ll
save time and electricity.
If you do adjust the temperature
from a hot setting to a cooler
setting, wait until the iron
temperature has stabilised before
you continue ironing.
Dry ironing
You do not need to fill the iron with
water. Set the variable steam
control to the ‘O’ symbol.
• Any temperature setting may be
used depending on the garment.
• The spray feature may be used
provided there is water in the tank.
Steam ironing
The steam output can be varied
from low to high by sliding the
variable steam control.
• It is recommended that you use up
one beaker of water by operating
the iron’s steam and shot-of-steam
functions before ironing any clothes
as some dripping may occur while
the iron’s steam system is activated.
• The steam facility should only be
used on garments which are
suitable for ironing at 2 and 3 dot
setting.
• When ironing with the steam facility
at the 2 dot setting, the steam
output should be set at the low end
of the steam range.
Shot-of-steam
Press the shot-of-steam button ⁄
to obtain a burst of extra steam for
ironing out creases in heavy
material such as denim etc.
Temperature/fabric guide
Heat setting markings on the iron match those of the International Textile Care Labelling Code.
Textiles and clothes should carry ironing instructions, but if they don’t, follow this fabric guide.
Be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the garment or similar area first.
