USING YOUR IRON
Note: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the sole-
plate 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 SELF-CLEANING/ FLUSHING.
For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam setting
recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or consult the enclosed garment
care tips pamphlet for additional information.
To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to first iron
garments that require a low temperature. If you should need to switch from
a high setting to a lower temperature, for example
to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower
temperature.
Cotton
Tips: If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low setting
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.

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.

USING AS A DRY IRON
The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the tank,
however it is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while dry
ironing.
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2.
2. Turn the variable steam dial to NO STEAM. Diagram 3.
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface
and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting. Diagram 2.
5. When the ready light turns off, the iron has reached the desired
temperature.

6. You may still use the spray or burst of steam buttons as long as there is
water in the tank.
7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting,
and unplug. Allow the iron to cool before cleaning the exterior or
storing.
NOTE: During ironing, the ready light may turn on again which indicates
that the iron is heating up to maintain the proper temperature.
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO NOT
fill it with water.
USING AS A STEAM IRON
When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting on the
temperature control dial is within the STEAM range to avoid water spotting
on a garment.
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2.
2. Position the variable steam dial to lowest setting. Diagram 3.
3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water. (See FILLING THE
WATER TANK instructions.)
4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface
and plug in.

5. Turn the temperature control dial to STEAM. Diagram 2.
6. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to reach the desired
temperature. (The ready light will turn off.)
7. Turn the variable steam dial counter clockwise to the desired amount of
steam. Diagram 3. As soon as the iron is held horizontally, steam will
flow through the vents. If the iron fails to steam, gently tap the soleplate
on the ironing surface. Placing the iron on its heel in an upright
position interrupts the flow of steam.
8. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting,
and unplug. Allow to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron or
storing.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
IRONING WITH EXTRA STEAM
For a penetrating burst of steam to iron faster and to smooth difficult

wrinkles, firmly depress the burst of steam button. Between the individual
bursts of steam, pause for at least 5 seconds to let the iron reheat for
maximum additional steam. If water drops escape as you use the burst of
steam, turn the temperature control dial to a slightly warmer setting and
wait for the ready light to go out.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
USING THE SPRAY BUTTON
For a mist of water to moisten dry and difficult fabrics such as linen, cotton
or wool, or to handle stubborn wrinkles, press the spray button. The spray
function is also handy to moisten creases accidentally ironed in the fabric.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF
As a built-in safety measure, the iron is programmed to shut-off
automatically after 15 minutes. When the iron shuts off, the reset button
located on top of the iron handle will come on. If you wish to resume
ironing, simply push the reset button. The light will go out and the iron will
re-energize immediately. Diagram 4.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Unplug the iron before filling.
2. Turn the variable steam dial to the lowest setting. Diagram 3.
3. Hold the iron upright but slightly tipped.
4. Using a measuring cup, slowly pour water into the water fill hole
opening. Diagram 5.
5. Check see-through water reservoir to see if iron is filled to maximum fill
line. Diagram 6.
Note: Your iron is designed to use tap water. However, if your water is very
hard, it is recommended you use distilled water. DO NOT use water from
home water softening systems because such water may contain minerals
that may harm the iron.
EMPTYING THE WATER TANK
The water tank should be emptied after each use. To do so:
1. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting,
and unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.
2. 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.
3. 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, plug it in and set the temperature dial to maximum
heat for 2 minutes. Then unplug the iron and let it cool before storing it.

SELF-CLEANING/ FLUSHING
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. To flush the iron:
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2.
2. Turn variable steam dial to the lowest setting. Diagram 3.
3. Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum fill line. Diagram 6.
4. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control dial to its highest
setting or cotton/ linen. Let it heat for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the variable steam dial counter clockwise to the highest setting.
6. Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.
7. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing steam to
flow through the vents until the water tank is emptied. You may also
depress the burst of steam button several times remembering to pause
about 5 seconds between bursts to allow the iron to reheat. 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.
8. Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate or use hot iron
cleaner.
9. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting,
and unplug. Allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron
or storing. Use a cloth to wipe off exterior of iron before storing.
STORING THE IRON
Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than pulling
the cord, and allow iron to cool. EMPTY the water tank after each use, then
wrap the cord around the cooled iron as shown. Diagram 7. Allow the iron
to COOL COMPLETELY before putting it away. To protect the soleplate,
place the iron in an upright position on its heel.

CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before cleaning the
exterior of the iron and storing. Never immerse an appliance in water.
To protect the soleplate from scratching, avoid ironing over snaps, zippers,
metal buttons, etc. Also, do not place the iron on metal or rough surfaces.
Slight scratches in non-stick soleplates do not affect performance of the
iron.
If starch or other residues cling to the soleplate, use hot iron cleaner
according to directions.
Note: DO NOT put any chemical cleaning agents or solvents in the water
tank.
IMPORTANT: Any servicing that requires disassembly must be performed by
an authorized service center.
