IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
· Please read all instructions before use.
· Before the first connecting of the iron check that voltage indicated on the rating label
corresponds the mains voltage in your home.
· Home use only. Do not use for industrial purposes.
· Do not use outdoors or while standing in damp area.
· Use the iron only for its intended use.
· Do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
· The iron should be turned to Off before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
· Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
· Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool down completely before putting
away.
· Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
· Never fill above MAX level.
· Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or
has been dropped or damaged in any manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron, take it to a qualified serviceman for examination, repair or mechanical
adjustment.
· Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
· This appliance is not for use by children.
· Do not leave the iron unattended while hot or connected or on an ironing board.
· Position the iron carefully on an ironing board to avoid it from being knocked over.
· Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you
turn a steam iron upside down there may be hot water in the water tank.
· To protect the soleplate from scratching, avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, metal buttons,
etc.
· Do not place the iron on metal or rough surfaces.
CAUTION: To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
· Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron may slightly
smoke when switched on for the first time. After a short time this will cease.
· Remove the protection sticker from the soleplate.
· Before use you should flush the soleplate steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred
onto fabric from residue possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. To do this,
see CLEANING OF STEAM HOLE.
HOW TO USE
SETTING TEMPERATURE
· For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam setting recommended
by the fabric manufacturer.
· To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to first iron garments that
require low temperature. If you should need to switch from a high setting to a lower
temperature, for example Linen to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower
temperature.
TIPS: If you are unsure of a garments fabric content, start on a low setting (Nylon position)
and test the iron on an area of the garment that does not show, such as a seam. Gradually
increase the heat setting until wrinkles remove without damaging the fabric.
· To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the steaming iron
horizontally 2 inches above the fabric for a gentle steaming. Make sure the iron does not
come in contact with the fabric.
· To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate or rayon inside out.
THE WATER TANK FILLING
· Unplug the iron before filling.
· Turn the variable steam dial to the Off position.
· Hold the iron in the horizontal position.
· Using a measuring cup, slowly pour water into the water fill opening.
· Check see-through water tank to see if the iron is filled to MAX line.
NOTE: Your iron is designed to use tap water. Do not use water from home water softening
system because such water may contain minerals that may harm the iron.
THE WATER TANK EMPTYING
· The water tank should be emptied after each use.
· Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.
· While the iron is still warm, hold the iron over a sink and allow the iron to drain by tipping the
point of the iron down.
· Gently shake the iron to loosen any water drops that may be trapped. The warmth of the iron
should dry out any remaining water.
NOTE: If you empty the water tank after the iron has cooled, set the iron in an upright position
on its heel rest, plug it in and set the temperature control dial to maximum (Linen position)
heat for 2 minutes. Turn the temperature control dial and the variable steam dial to the Off
position and unplug.
SPRAYING
· As long as the enough water in the water tank, you may use the spray button at any
temperature setting either on steam or dry ironing. Press the button several times to activate
the pump while you are ironing.

STEAM IRONING
· Position temperature control dial to the Off position.
· Position the variable steam dial to the Off position.
· With the unit unplugged, fill the iron with water.
· Stand the iron on its heel rest in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug in.
· Turn the temperature control dial to desired setting.
· Allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to reach the desired temperature. The ready pilot
light will turn off.
· Turn the variable steam dial clockwise to the desired amount of steam (LOW or MAX
position). As soon as the iron is held horizontally, steam will flow through the vents. If the
iron does not steam, gently tap the soleplate on the ironing surface. Placing the iron on its
heel rest in an upright position interrupts the flow of steam.
· When finished, turn the temperature control dial and the variable steam dial to the Off
position, unplug the appliance.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
DRY IRONING
· The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the water tank, however it is
best to avoid having the water tank too full of water while dry ironing.
· Stand the iron on its heel rest in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in.
· Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting.
· When the ready pilot light turns off, the iron has reached the desired temperature.
· When finished, turn the temperature control dial to the Off position and unplug.
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time, is hot and there is no water. Do not refill it
with water until the iron has cooled down.
CARE AND CLEANING
· Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning the
exterior of the iron.
· The body of the iron can be cleaned with a soft and damp cloth.
SOLEPLATE CLEANING
· Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly.
STEAM HOLE CLEANING
· Flushing the iron is advised after every 5 usages to prevent harmful mineral build-up that
can clog the iron and prevent it from heating and steaming properly.
· Position the temperature control dial to the Off position.
· Turn the variable steam dial to the Off position.
· Fill the irons water tank to MAX line.
· Plug the iron in and set the temperature control dial to Linen position. Let it heat for 2
minutes.
· Turn the variable steam dial clockwise to the MAX position.
· Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.
· Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing steam to flow through the vents
until the water tank is emptied.
· Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate.
· When finished, turn temperature control dial and variable steam dial to the Off position and
unplug.
NOTE: Do not put vinegar or any chemical cleaning agents or solvents in the water tank.

STORAGE
· Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely.
