GETTING TO KNOW YOUR IRON
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your 1600 Watt Pro Iron,
The odor is safe and should not reoccur
after initial heating.
EMPTYING THE IRON
ANTI-DRIP FEATURE
remove any labels, stickers or tags that
may be attached to the body or
soleplate of the iron.
When turned on for the first time, your
new iron may emit an odor for up to 10
minutes. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used in making
the iron.
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control to“0” and
the temperature control dial to "MIN".
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
Built-in Anti-Drip feature helps reduce
water spots by cutting of water flow
when the iron temperature is too low to
build sufficient steam. The anti drip
function reduces water dripping and
water stains. It does not prevent water
dripping and water stains if you press
the steam burst button too often or if the
temperature is too low. The amount of
water droplets will eventually decrease
after the iron is used for 2 to 3 tankfuls
of steaming and ironing.
Also, before ironing with steam for the
first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a
horizontal position and hit the burst of
steam button several times. The iron
may emit some small particles from the
steam holes. This is normal and will
clear after pressing the burst of steam
button several times.
4. Set variable steam control to "MAX".
5. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
6. Set variable steam control to "0".
7. Allow iron to cool in an upright
position before storing.
STORAGE
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to “0” after you have
emptied the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
WARNING! Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may
occur from touching hot metal
surfaces, hot water or steam.
SELF-CLEANING

In order to remove calcium and built-up
particles, the self-cleaning system should be
run at least once a month.
• Fill the water beaker provided halfway
and then pour into the water reservoir.
• Set the variable steam control to the no
steam position.
• Insert the main plug into the wall socket.
• Set the temperature control dial to the
maximum temperature.
• Wait until the thermostat light goes off and

• Turn the variable steam control to
“Self-Clean
” position. Hot water and
steam will be emitted from the soleplate.
Swing the steam iron lightly back and forth
gently to allow lime and dust particles to
come out.
• When the water reservoir is empty, shift
the variable steam control from “Self-
Clean” position to “0”.

Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature

If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test a small
area such as a seam or inside hem

STEAM IRONING
CAUTION! DO NOT aim iron
at face, towards yourself, or
anyone else while using or
adjusting steam. Burns or
serious injury may occur.
1. Fill the iron with regular tap water.
(See page 6 for filling instructions.)
2. Set the temperature control dial to its
highest setting and the variable
steam control to “0”.
3. When the temperature ready light
goes off, the iron has reached the
selected temperature. Set the
variable steam control to the highest
setting.
4. Keep the iron in a horizontal position
and allow it to steam until the water
runs out. Press the blast of steam
button to eliminate white residue
particles.
5. Repeat this procedure for two or
three fillings of water.
The blast-of-steam feature can be used
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.
1. Make sure the water tank is at least
1/2 filled with water.
2. Set the temperature dial. Place the
iron on its heel (on a stable,
protected surface) and allow it to
heat for approximately 2 minutes.
3. With the iron in a horizontal position,
press the blast of steam button
several times to prime the pump.
See Figure 4.
WARNING! Before filling the
iron with water, be sure the
iron is not plugged into the
electrical outlet. The iron may
be filled with water while it is

desired temperature.
DRY IRONING
5. Slide the steam lever up to increase
the amount of steam. (See figure 3)
When using extra steam, the iron
uses more water and it may be
necessary to fill the tank more often.
See page 6 for refilling the iron with
water.
All marked settings on the temperature
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide
the variable steam control lever all the
way down as shown in Figure 1. This
will cut off the steam flow if water is in
the tank.
NOTE: Because of the soleplate design,
ordinary tap water may be used with this
iron. However, in very hard water areas,
we recommend using distilled or
demineralized water.
