Ready to freshen up your ironing routine? Whether you’ve chosen a steam iron, steam generator iron or garment steamer, setting up your appliance correctly will help you get the very best performance from first use.

1. Unbox

Carefully remove your product from the packaging and take off any labels, stickers or protective covers before use.

Before switching on your fabric care appliance, check that:

• All packaging materials have been removed
• Water tanks are empty and correctly fitted
• Cords and attachments are fully unpacked
• Steam vents and soleplates are clear from any protective film or inserts

A quick set-up check helps make sure your appliance is ready to glide through your laundry pile with ease.

2. Clean

Before first use, it’s important to prepare your appliance with a quick clean.

Here are a few simple steps to get started:

• Run the self-clean function if your iron includes one
• Wipe the soleplate with a soft damp cloth
• Rinse out the water tank with fresh water before filling
• For garment steamers, check attachments are clean and securely fitted before steaming
• Allow the appliance to fully heat before first use

Always refer to your product instruction manual for appliance-specific cleaning and care guidance.

3. Enjoy

Now you’re ready to get started.

Smooth out your favourite outfits, refresh everyday essentials or steam garments ready for the week ahead. However you tackle laundry day, your Russell Hobbs fabric care appliance is designed to help make it quicker and easier.Top of Form
