Using as a Steam Iron
When steam ironing, the Temperature Control Dial must be positioned to at least the
" " symbol -- located midway between the GREEN (• •) and LILAC (• • •) settings.
1. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the "min" position and the Steam Control
Dial to the "X" (no steam) position.
2. Make sure that the Iron is unplugged and has cooled completely before filling.
CAUTION: IF THE IRON IS HOT, DO NOT FILL WITH WATER.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting, between the "
and " " symbols. (See FIGURE 4 for basic fabric/temperature guidelines or
check the condensed fabric guide imprinted on the Heel Rest of the Iron.) The red
Thermostat Light will illuminate, indicating that the Iron is heating.
NOTE: For best results, check garment labels for the temperature setting
recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
6. As the Iron is heating, the Water Tank will cycle through each color until the
desired setting is reached. Once the Iron has reached the set temperature, an
audible beep will sound and the red Thermostat Light will go off, indicating that
the Iron is ready for use.
NOTE: The red Thermostat Light will continue to cycle off and on during use as
the Iron maintains the desired temperature.
7. Turn the Steam Control Dial to the desired
setting: "X" = no steam, "1" = low, "2" = high
(see FIGURE 6).
NOTE: For optimum steam output, the
Temperature Control Dial should be set to the
"max" (RED) position.
CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH
ESCAPING STEAM.
8. Press the Blast of Steam and Spray Buttons as needed (see
the following sections for a complete description of these features).
