Product Information
Full details
The Russell Hobbs Fabric Luxe Steam Iron is ideal for households looking for a lightweight, efficient solution for everyday garment care. Its standout feature is the SimplySet temperature control, which simplifies ironing by offering three easy-to-use settings for different fabric types. While it provides excellent steam performance and user-friendly safety features like auto shut-off, users should note that its lightweight design prioritizes maneuverability over the heavier pressure found in industrial-grade irons.

FAQs
Can I use scented additives in the water tank?
No, you should only use clean tap water or distilled water. Chemicals or perfumes can damage the internal steam system.
How do I know when the iron is ready?
The indicator light will turn off or change color when the desired temperature has been reached.
Does this iron have an auto shut-off?
Yes, it includes an auto shut-off function for increased safety when the iron is left unattended.
Is this model suitable for delicate fabrics?
Yes, use the lowest setting on the SimplySet dial for synthetics and delicates to prevent heat damage.
How often should I use the self-clean function?
We recommend using the self-clean function at least once a month to prevent mineral buildup in the vents.
Troubleshooting
Iron is not producing steam
Check that the water tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to a high-heat position that supports steam generation.
Water leaking from the soleplate
Ensure the temperature is set high enough for steam. Leaking often occurs if the iron is used at too low a temperature for the steam setting selected.
Iron turns off unexpectedly
The iron has likely triggered the auto shut-off safety feature; move the iron slightly to reactivate the heating element.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your iron, fill the ClearView tank to the 'Max' line using tap water. If you live in an area with hard water, a mixture of 50% distilled water is recommended to prolong the life of the internal components.
Care Instructions:
- Always empty the water tank after each use.
- Utilize the self-clean function once a month, or more frequently if you notice scale buildup in the steam vents.
- Wipe the ceramic soleplate with a soft, damp cloth only after the iron has completely cooled.
- Store the iron in an upright heel position to prevent the soleplate from coming into contact with surfaces.
