2. Filling the Water Tank: Place the Iron in the horizontal position (on its Soleplate).
Using the Filler Cup provided, slowly pour water through the Water Fill Opening
until the Water Tank is filled to the Maximum Water Level Line; DO NOT
OVERFILL. (See FIGURE 5.)
IMPORTANT: Use tap water or distilled water only. Do not use chemically
descaled water or any other liquids. DO NOT put any chemical cleaning agents
or solvents into the Water Tank.
3. With the Water Tank full, stand the Iron in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest)
on a heat resistant surface and plug into a 120V outlet. An audible beep will sound
and the Water Tank will glow blue.
4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the "max" (RED) setting. The red Thermostat
Light will illuminate, indicating that the Iron is heating. Once the Iron has reached
the set temperature, a final audible beep will sound and the red Thermostat Light
will go off, indicating that the Iron is ready for use.
5. Hold the Iron horizontally over a basin or bowl, and turn the Steam Control Dial to
the " " position -- continue to hold the Steam Control Dial in this position until
the Water Tank is empty. Water and steam will flush the scale and dust through
the Soleplate and into the basin.
CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH ESCAPING STEAM.
NOTE: To prevent Auto Shut-Off, gently move the Iron back and forth while
self-cleaning.
6. When the Water Tank is empty, release the Steam Control Dial and turn it to the
"X" (no steam) position. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the "min" position
and unplug the Iron. Stand the Iron back in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest)
and allow it to cool completely before storing.
Anti-Scale
This Iron features an anti-scale agent that helps prevent the build-up of scale.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the Iron or the Ceramic Soleplate, never use a
descaling solution.

Storing the Iron

Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug -- NEVER pull on the cord.
Empty the Water Tank after each use, (see EMPTYING THE WATER TANK). Allow the
Iron to COOL COMPLETELY before storing. To protect the Ceramic Soleplate, stand
the Iron in an upright position on its Heel Rest. Wrap the cord loosely around the base
of the Iron.
