The Breville Super Steam Ceramic Iron is engineered to make your ironing experience efficient and effective. Here's how to get the most out of its features:
Everyday Ironing: For standard fabrics and general creases, utilize the 40g/min variable steam setting. This continuous steam flow will effortlessly glide through cotton shirts, trousers, and bed linens, leaving them crisp and smooth.
Tackling Tough Creases: When faced with stubborn wrinkles on denim, linen, or heavily starched items, engage the powerful 190g/min steam shot. A quick press of the steam shot button delivers a concentrated burst of steam that penetrates deep into fibers, flattening even the most persistent folds. This is also excellent for vertical steaming of hanging garments.
Safety First: After each use, observe the Safe-Store heat indicator. This ingenious feature changes color or illuminates to let you know precisely when the soleplate has cooled to a safe temperature for handling and storage, preventing accidental burns or damage to surfaces.
Protecting Your Garments: The anti-drip feature is particularly useful for delicate fabrics. It prevents water droplets from leaking onto your clothes, safeguarding them from unsightly water stains, especially at lower temperatures when an iron might otherwise drip.
Effortless Gliding: The ceramic soleplate is designed for superior performance. It heats up quickly and evenly, distributing heat across its surface to prevent hot spots. Its smooth, non-stick finish allows the iron to glide effortlessly over various fabric types, reducing effort and potential snagging.
Maintaining Optimal Steam: The combination of the self-cleaning function and anti-scale filter actively works to combat limescale. Regularly using the self-cleaning function, especially in hard water areas, is key to preventing mineral build-up, which can clog steam vents and reduce performance. This ensures your iron consistently produces strong, clean steam.
Fill Water Tank: Ensure the iron is unplugged. Open the water filler cap and slowly pour clean tap water (or a mix of tap and distilled water if you have hard water) up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill.
Plug In: Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
Select Temperature: Turn the temperature dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric type. Wait for the iron's indicator light to show it has reached the desired temperature.
The Breville Super Steam Ceramic Iron is compatible with most ironable fabrics, from delicate synthetics to robust cottons and linens. Always check the garment's care label for specific ironing instructions.
For fabrics requiring high temperatures, ensure ample steam is available. For delicate fabrics, use lower heat settings and consider using a pressing cloth.
Regular Self-Cleaning: Use the self-cleaning function every 2-4 weeks, or more often if you iron frequently or live in a hard water area. Follow your manual's specific instructions for this process, which typically involves filling the tank, heating the iron, and then activating the self-clean feature over a sink.
Empty Water Tank: After each use, once the iron has cooled and is unplugged, empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent stagnant water and potential limescale build-up.
Clean Soleplate: If starch or fabric residue builds up on the ceramic soleplate, clean it gently with a damp cloth when the iron is cool. For stubborn marks, specialized iron soleplate cleaners can be used, but always test on a small area first.
Storage: Allow the iron to cool completely, confirmed by the Safe-Store heat indicator, before storing it vertically in a safe, dry place.
