How to Use

This appliance is for household use only. It is specially designed with a 2-Tank™ system.
Tank 1 is for use with water only for steam. Tank 2 is for use with Downy Wrinkle
Releaser liquid for spray to smooth away the wrinkles as you iron. (The iron does not
®
require distilled or treated water for steam or spray.)

GETTING STARTED

Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron. Note: Use
ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening
system.
Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before beginning
to iron.

2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water into
opening until the water reaches the MAX level mark on the water
tank (B). Do not overfill.
Important:
• Do not pour any Downy Wrinkle Releaser
Tank 1 as it will damage your iron and potentially stain
B
your clothes once the fluid is heated.
• If you accidentally pour this liquid into Tank 1, empty the tank (refer to Empting Water
Tank instructions) then refill the tank with regular water.
• Use the auto-cleaning feature; see Auto-Cleaning instructions.
3. Close the water-fill cover.
4. Plug in the iron. The temperature-ready light glows green (C).
Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside
