Accura Digital Resilium  
About Accura  
The innovative Accura Digital Resilium iron  
delivers accurate ironing performance, every  
time. With a streamlined design and ‘thumb  
touch’ operation, it features the latest in  
ironing expertise.  
whilst thumb touch controls on the handle  
make temperature adjustment quick and  
easy.  
Dedicated to delivering superior performance,  
Accura displays the soleplate temperature  
and fabric selection on the LCD.  
An independent heating element and  
dedicated steam chamber allow Accura to  
produce maximum steam, even at very low  
temperatures.  
Safety and peace of mind are guaranteed  
with safety auto off. The iron automatically  
switches off if left unattended in either the  
upright or ironing position.  
Soleplate temperature is monitored by a  
digital thermostat to ensure the best results,  
Digital thermostat  
Twin element technology  
The Accura Digital Resilium contains  
two elements – one in the soleplate and  
another in the dedicated steam chamber  
– to allow maximum steam performance,  
even at low temperatures. Steam generation  
is independent of the soleplate, ensuring  
maximum steam output at any temperature  
setting. Unlike conventional single element  
irons, the soleplate temperature stays  
constant, as it is unaffected by the continual  
inflow of water from the steam valve and shot  
of steam pump.  
The digital thermostat provides precise  
temperature control, allowing you to select  
the exact temperature recommended for each  
garment. It eliminates temperature overshoot  
and minimises temperature fluctuations.  
This ensures consistently superior results  
and prevents scorching.

Fill the water tank and empty the water. This  
will rinse out any foreign particles remaining  
from the manufacturing process.  
Note: When turned on for the first time, your  
new iron may give off vapours for up to 10  
minutes. This is due to the initial heating of  
the materials used. It is safe, not detrimental  
to the performance of the iron, and will not  
reoccur.  
Filling the iron with water  
Before filling the iron with water ensure  
that the power is turned off and the plug is  
removed from the power outlet. The iron can

the soleplate, iron over a damp cloth while  
the iron is hot.  
Cleaning  
To clean the exterior of the iron, wipe with a  
damp soft cloth and wipe dry.  
Ironing Guide  
Always read garment labels and follow the  
manufacturer’s ironing instructions. Refer to  
the Ironing Chart on page 11 for temperature  
recommendations.  
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of  
a garment, test a small area such as a  
seam or inside hem section before ironing  
a visible area. Start with a low temperature  
and gradually increase the heat to find the  
best setting for ironing the garment.  
Selecting the ironing temperature  
• When reducing the temperature to iron  
sensitive fabrics, allow approximately 2  
minutes for the iron to cool to the new  
setting.  
Hints  
• Sort articles to be ironed according to the  
type of fabric. This will reduce the need  
to adjust the temperature to suit varying  
garments.  
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) can be  
steam ironed with the temperature dial set  
to Wool. Use an ironing cloth to prevent  
shine marks on the fabric.  
• Start with garments requiring lower  
temperatures and work your way through to  
items requiring higher temperatures.  
• Never iron areas of a garment where  
perspiration marks are visible, as the heat  
of the iron will fix the stains, making them  
permanent.  
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen and silk  
are best ironed with an ironing cloth to  
prevent shine marks.
