Russell Hobbs Iron SW B USBOR User Guide

instructions  
 
13 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it  
cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.  
14 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.  
15 Keep the iron and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.  
16 Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.  
17 Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.  
18 The iron has a protective thermal fuse, which will blow if it overheats. If this happens,  
the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.  
19 Don’t operate the appliance if it’s dropped or damaged or if it malfunctions or leaks.  
20 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, in order to avoid hazard.  
domestic use only  
before using for the first time  
Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.  
Don’t worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it’ll stop as the element cures.  
Iron an old piece of cotton fabric, to clean the soleplate.  
Press the * button 3 or 4 times, to check it out.  
check the voltage before use  
1 Check the local voltage.  
2 The voltage switch is under the rear of the iron.  
3 Set the voltage switch to 115V for a local voltage of 100-120 volts a.c., set it to  
230V if the local voltage is in the range 220-240 volts a.c.  
4 Using the wrong setting will probably damage the iron beyond repair.  
5 On lower voltages, the iron may take longer to heat up.  
travel adaptor  
6 Use an earthed travel adaptor suitable for the wall sockets in the area you’re visiting.  
filling  
7 Turn the temperature control to , and unplug the iron.  
8 The iron is tap-water tolerant, so you may fill the reservoir with tap-water, but if  
you’re in a hard-water area, you should use distilled water.  
9 If you buy distilled water, check that it’s marketed as suitable for irons.  
10 Don’t use chemically descaled water, or water from a water softening installation,  
and don’t put anything in the water.  
11 Pour water from the jug into the water inlet.  
12 Pour slowly, and try to pour down one side of the inlet, to allow the air in the  
reservoir to escape, otherwise you’ll cause an air lock and the water will overflow.  
13 Don’t fill past the max mark on the reservoir.  
14 Wipe up any spillage.  
preparation  
15 Check for textile care symbols (i j k l).  
16 Iron fabrics needing low temperatures j first, then those that need medium  
temperatures k, and finish with those needing high temperatures l (or max).

power up  
17 Set the iron upright, with the rests at either side of the rear of  
the iron, and the end of the handle, on a stable, level, heat-  
resistant surface, preferably an ironing board

38 Take care not to scratch the soleplate.  
39 Don’t put the appliance in water or any other liquid.  
40 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.  
descaling  
As you may be using the iron in areas where you don’t know whether the water is soft  
or hard, we suggest that you carry out this procedure fortnightly, or at the end of each  
trip, if the trips are shorter than a fortnight. It only takes a few minutes.

48 Hot water, steam, and any built up scale will issue from the soleplate, into the sink.  
49 Turn the steam control to S, plug the iron in again, and wait till the ready light goes  
out.  
50 Turn the steam control to S, and steam iron an old scrap of cloth, to clear out any  
remaining scale.

plug. To replace the plug, fit the green/yellow wire to E or E, the blue  
wire to N, and the brown wire to L. Fit the cord grip.  
If in doubt, call an electrician.  
Don’t use a non-rewireable/moulded plug unless the fuse cover is in  
place. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
