BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Remove labels, stickers and packaging from the iron and soleplate.
• Don’t worry if the iron smokes a little at first. It will stop after a short time.
• Iron an old piece of cotton fabric, to clean the soleplate.
PREPARATION
1. Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).
2. Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j first, then those that need medium
temperatures k, and finish with those needing high temperatures l.

FILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled
water (not chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it’s suitable for use in irons.
1. Set the temperature control to • and set the steam control to S.
2. Unplug the iron.
3. Hold the iron with the front raised.
4. Open the water inlet cover.
5. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause an air lock and the
water will overflow.
6. Don’t fill past the max marking or water will escape in use.
7. Wipe up any spillage.
SWITCH ON
1. Set the temperature control to • and set the steam control to S.
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 bring 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 out. It’ll then cycle on and
off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
