Using the iron
Filling the tankBefore first use, remove all packaging and the protective cover on the soleplate. Make sure the iron is not plugged in. Set the variable steam switch (1) to ‘O’. Fill the water tank (11) via the filling hole (6). Fill whilst the iron is tilted around 45 degrees, and place down horizontally to check the water level against the MAX mark on the side of the water tank. During ironing, with the iron placed on its heel (10), use the graphics on the left-hand side of the iron to see approximately how many minutes of steam remain before the water tank needs refilling. This will vary depending how much steam is usedDo not overfill the iron otherwise it will cause leaking from around the filler cap and may run down the iron. IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND USING DEIONISED, DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, sugar, fragrant additives or defrosted water from a refrigerator.NOTE: Please see point 2 of ‘Exclusions.
Temperature SelectionRotary temperature control modelPlug in the iron and switch on at the mains.Set the temperature control (4) to the temperature required.On the rotary temperature control model, the temperature indicator light (5) will illuminate until the required temperature is reached, then it will turn off.Tip: We recommend the temperature indicator light is allowed to illuminate and extinguish twice for the temperature to stabilise before you begin ironing.The temperature indicator light will switch on and off whilst you are ironing.Tip: Begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools down so this will save you time and energy.
) Selecting the steam levelVary the steam output using the variable steam switch (1), as shown above.Set the electronic temperature control (4) to the temperature required (see ‘Temperature guide’ on page 3). The appropriate light flashes until the temperature is reached, and then the iron beepsTurbosteamPro model:The iron defaults to (cotton) when plugged in. Press ‘SELECT’ to toggle the temperature: one press for MAX setting (linen); two presses for setting (nylon/silk); three presses for setting (wool/polyester); four presses forsetting (cotton).TurbosteamPro IntelliTemp model:The iron defaults to IntelliTemp setting when plugged in. Press ‘SELECT’ to toggle the temperatures between IntelliTemp and MAX. IntelliTemp technology means it is safe to use on all ironable fabrics without adjusting the temperature setting. Do not use on fabrics that have the ‘Do Not Iron’ symbol. For stubborn creases, a max setting is available.
Using the water sprayFor stubborn creases, use the water spray button (2).If using for the first time, you may need to press this a few times to pull the water through.
Steam boostPress the steam boost trigger (3) for an extra steam burst for stubborn creases / heavy fabrics.NOTE: If you need to use the steam boost whilst dry ironing, the water tank will need to be filled and check the temperature is set within the steam range.NOTE: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.
Features of your iron
Dry ironing
Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the variable steam switch (1) to ‘O’ and set the temperature as desired (see ‘Temperature guide.You won’t need water in the tank unless using the water spray or steam boost features.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes or curtains etc; Set the iron to Max and hold the iron 1cm-2cm away from the item and press the steam boost trigger (3), taking care not to let the hot soleplate contact the item.
Anti-drip system
This prevents water escaping from the soleplate (9) when the iron is too cold.During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.
Anti-scale system
This system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.
Auto shut-off
If the iron is stationary in the horizontal position for 1 minute, or in the vertical position for 8 minutes, it will automatically turn off for safety and to save energy
When auto shut-off is activated, the Auto shut-off indicator (5) will flash (located in display in electronic models). Gently move the iron and it will reheat. Wait for the iron to heat-up and continue ironing.
Maintaining your iron
Emptying and storing
When you have finished ironing, unplug and empty all water from your iron and set the steam switch at the ‘O’ position. When cool, store the iron on its heel with the cord wrapped loosely around the heel. Use the cable clip (12) to keep in place.NOTE: Please see point 3 of ‘Exclusions.
Cleaning
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this could cause damage to the coating.
If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (9), set the iron at the MAX position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.
Self clean
Your iron has a built in self clean system designed to keep the water valve, steam chamber and steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral deposits.
Half fill the iron with water.
Place the iron on its heel (10).
Move the variable steam switch (1) to the ‘O’ position.
Connect to a mains supply outlet.
Set the temperature to ‘MAX’. See step 2 of‘Using your iron’ on page 4.
Leave the iron switched on, rested on its heel (10) until the temperature reaches maximum:On models featuring a rotary temperature control (4), maximum temperature is achieved when the indicator light goes out;On models featuring an electronic temperature control (4), maximum temperature is achieved when the indicator light stops flashing and remains constantly on.WARNING: Keep hands and body away from the hot soleplate.
Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.
Whilst the iron is still very hot, hold the ironhorizontally over a sink.CAUTION: The soleplate will still be hot, soensure the power cord and plug are kept awayfrom it and the sink.
Press and hold the self clean button (7).WARNING: Steam and boiling hot water will drain from the holes in the soleplate. Keep hands and body away from the hot water. This washes away the scale and minerals that have built up inside the steam chamber.
Whilst still holding the self clean button (7), gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
When steam and hot water cease to be released from the soleplate (9), release the self clean button (7).
Rest your steam iron back on its heel (10) and allow to fully cool down.
Wipe the soleplate (9) with a cold, damp cloth. After this cleaning operation, empty out any remaining water.IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to descale the soleplate with descaling products.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
No power or not heating up.
1. Check the fuse. Try a new fuse with the same rating.2. Try a different appliance in the socket as it may be the socket that is at fault.3. Check that the auto shut off has not operated.4. Check the temperature control has not been set to MIN.
Overheating or not getting hot enough.
1. Adjust the temperature control to ensure the setting matches that recommended on the garment or refer to the “Temperature guide” section.2. Allow the iron to reach temperature and stabilise for 1-2 minutes if it has just been plugged in, or has just been woken up from auto shut off.
Not steaming or poor steam.
1. Ensure the temperature is set within the steam band and that the steam level is set to the correct level (refer to the “Temperature guide” section).2. Check that there is enough water in the tank.3. If the auto shut off feature has activated, wake up the iron and allow it to reach temperature before using steam.4. Perform a self clean to clear away limescale inside the iron (refer to “Self Clean” section).
Dripping from the holes in the soleplate.
1. Ensure the temperature is set within the steam band (refer to the “Temperature guide” section). The iron will not be hot enough to produce steam if the temperature is set too low.2. The steam level should be set lower if the temperature is set lower (refer to the “Temperature guide” section) to prevent it from dripping. 3. If the auto shut off feature has activated, wake up the iron and allow it to reach temperature before using steam.
Tripping electrics.
1. Try using a different socket.2. Ensure there are no other appliances being used on the same set of sockets as the iron
The filler cap is broken or does not close properly
1. Call our helpline to order a new replacement filler cap to be sent out.
The iron emits some white powder from the soleplate.
1. If the iron is new, this is residue from manufacturing materials and will diminish after the first couple of uses.2. If the iron has been used many times, this could be a sign of limescale build-up and a self clean should be performed. Please see “Maintaining your iron” section.
Leaking water.
1. Do not overfill the iron.2. Ensure the filler cap is closed properly
