Warranty Information

The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage caused by improper or incorrect use.

Getting Started

  1. Before first use, remove all adhesive remains and gently rub with a dampened cloth. Rinse water tank to remove foreign particles. Temporary vapours/odours may occur when first turned on.
  2. Filling the steam iron with water: Ensure the plug is removed from the power outlet. Turn the steam selector to 'Dry' and open the filling aperture cover. Pour water up to the maximum level using the provided beaker. Close the cover.
  3. Plug the power cable into a power outlet. The power indicator light turns on. Set the temperature by turning the selector. The iron is ready when the light turns off.
  4. Using the steam function (for models without auto steam): Turn the steam knob to select desired steam output. 'Off' position means dry ironing.
  5. For models with auto steam control: Steam regulation is done by the temperature selector. To stop steam and use as a dry-iron, press the steam knob. Press again to resume steam function.
  6. Using spray mist and steam jet: Ensure water tank is at least 1/4 full for spray mist. Press spray button to release a fine mist. Ensure tank is at least 1/2 full for steam jet. Press steam jet button several times to prime pump.
  7. Steaming hanging items: Use vertical steam jet for curtains, suits, delicate fabrics. Hang item, hold iron 10-20 cm away, and press steam jet button.
  8. 3-way Auto-OFF: Iron turns off after 30 seconds if left unattended on soleplate or side, or after 8 minutes if left on heel. Begin ironing again to turn on.

Cleaning

  1. Always store iron on its heel rest. Unplug the iron. Clean exterior with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use chemical solvents.
  2. Auto clean function: Fill water to 100ml. Plug in, set temperature to MAX. When light turns green, unplug. Hold over sink, pull out steam knob (or set to 'auto-clean' for EDB8040). Shake gently until water is gone. Reinsert knob and press. Turn iron on to dry soleplate. (Note: Temperature knob must be on MAX for knob removal/insertion).
  3. Cleaning the soleplate: Do not use abrasive cleaners. To remove burnt residue, iron over a damp cloth while hot. For Glissium™ soleplate, wipe with soft damp cloth and dry.

Flakes and impurities come out of the soleplate during ironing. You have used hard water, which has caused scale flakes to develop in the water tank. Use the self-clean function one or more times.
