POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
How To Use
Getting Started
NOTE: Before first use, remove any labels,
stickers, or tags which may be attached to the
body or Soleplate of the iron.
1. Fill the Water Pitcher with tap water to
around the 450 ml level. Unscrew the Safety
Fill Cap, place the Funnel into the Boiler
Water Tank, and pour the water in. (A) Fill
the Water Pitcher to about 450 ml AGAIN
and pour that in for a total of approximately
900 ml of water.
2. Remove the Funnel, replace the Safety Fill
Cap, and screw it securely into place.
3. Plug the power cord in and press the
ON/OFF Button. The Temperature Light on
the iron will come on (B) and will cycle on
and off during use.
4. Wait approximately 10 minutes for the
water to start boiling to produce generous
amounts of steam. On certain models only,
the Steam Ready Indicator will come on
showing there is enough steam to begin
ironing.
Selecting Temperature & Steam
1. Use the Fabric Guide on the Temperature
Selector Dial to help select the setting for
the fabric to be ironed (check the garment
label for fabric type and manufacturer's
recommended setting).
2. To iron with steam, be sure the Temperature
Selector Dial is turned into the Steam Band
anywhere between blend and linen.
3. The Temperature Light will go off as the iron
adjusts to the temperature you selected for
your fabric. When the Temperature Light
comes back on (see B), the temperature
you selected has been reached. The Light
will cycle on and off to maintain the
selected temperature as you iron.
4. Turn the Adjustable Steam Dial (C) to select
the amount of steam you'd like from 0 (no

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREWS
This appliance is equipped with tamper-
resistant screws to prevent removal of the
outer covers. To reduce the risk of fire or

steam) to 9 (abundant steam). NOTE: To dry
iron with NO STEAM, do not press the
Surge of Steam or Steam Lock Buttons
and/or set the Adjustable Steam Dial to 0.
5. Before ironing with steam, press and hold
the Surge of Steam Button for 5-10 seconds
to give the steam time to travel from the
Boiler Water Tank to the iron. You may
press the Steam Lock Button for continuous
billowing steam. (D) During ironing, you may
place the iron on its heel rest while you
adjust your garments or rest it on its Base.
Finish Ironing / Refilling
1. On certain models only, the Low Water
Indicator will come on as the water level
goes down. However, on all models,
CONTINUE IRONING until you have used up
all the steam before refilling the Boiler
Water Tank.
2. When you finish ironing, be sure to press
the Surge of Steam/Unlock Button to unlock
the continuous steam. Press the ON/OFF
Button to turn the unit OFF, unplug the
power cord, and let the iron cool by placing
it on the Base.
3. To refill, slowly unscrew the Safety Fill Cap
and wait for the hissing of releasing steam to
stop before unscrewing it completely. Use
the Water Pitcher and Funnel to fill the Boiler
Water Tank as described in "Getting
Started." Be sure to replace and tighten the
Cap before ironing. It is not necessary to
completely fill the Tank for short ironing
sessions. As long as there is some water in
the Tank, you can reduce the preheat
waiting time and save electricity by ironing
with half a Tank.
Vertical Ironing
For best results when steaming vertically,
hang the garment on a clothes hanger —
curtains/drapes can be steamed once they're
B
hung. Hold the iron close to but not touching the
fabric. Press the Steam Lock Button for continuous
steam. Pull the fabric tight with your free hand as
you pass the iron over the wrinkled fabric. (E)

you are unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small
area (on an inside seam or hem) before ironing
using a low temperature and gradually increasing.
• Sort items to be ironed according to their fabrics:
wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. Start by
ironing the fabrics that use lower temperatures
(i.e. silk) and work up to fabrics that require higher
temperatures (linen) since the iron heats up faster
than it cools down.
Cleaning
discolor the iron or parts. After cleaning, iron
with steam over an old cloth to remove any
residue from the steam vents.
3. Depending on the hardness of the water in your
area, you may want to flush out mineral deposits
from the Boiler Water Tank every 3-6 months. To
clean the Tank, fill the Tank with tap water, rinse,
and discard the water.
