Before First Use
Remove any promotional material or
packaging from the iron.
Remove any sticker or protective
cover from the soleplate. When
operating the iron for the first time,
iron on an old piece of fabric to
ensure that the soleplate and water
tank are completely clean.
When the iron is used for the first time,
some vapour may emit. After a short
while however, this will cease. The
vapour is due to the initial heating of
the materials used in the iron. It is safe
and will not harm the performance of
the iron.
NOTE: As an important part of our
quality control process, your iron
has been individually tested. As
a result, you may notice a small
amount of condensation or water
droplets on the inside of the water
tank. There is no need for concern.
Setting the Temperature
Before commencing ironing, first sort
the items to be ironed according to
the International Textile Care Labelling
Code or by the type of fabric.
Iron fabrics that require the lowest
temperatures first. Work through to the
fabrics requiring higher temperatures.
Both the Temperature Control and
most items of laundry have markings
corresponding with this code (see
Table A).
