9. When changing from a higher temperature setting to a lower temperature setting,
the Water Tank will cycle down through the colors until the Iron has cooled to the
proper ironing temperature. When this occurs, the color of the Water Tank will
correspond with the new temperature setting, indicating that the Iron is ready
for use.
NOTE: To quickly drop the temperature of the Iron, press the Blast of Steam Button.
10. When finished ironing, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the "min" position; turn
the Steam Control Dial to the "X" (no steam) position, and unplug the Iron. If
necessary, empty the Water Tank (see USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS). Stand
the Iron back in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest) and allow it to cool
completely before cleaning or storing.
NOTE: The Water Tank should be emptied after each use.
Blast of Steam
The Blast of Steam Button releases a penetrating blast of steam to smooth out difficult
wrinkles and to iron faster.
1. When using the Blast of Steam feature, the Temperature Control Dial must be
positioned to at least the "
and LILAC (• • •) settings. For best results, use the "max" (RED) temperature setting
and keep the Water Tank at least half full.
2. Firmly press the Blast of Steam Button once, then release
(see FIGURE 7). It may be necessary to press the Blast of
Steam Button 2 -3 times successively to release the initial
burst. DO NOT HOLD THE BLAST OF STEAM BUTTON DOWN.
CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH
ESCAPING STEAM.
3. As the Blast of Steam Button is pressed and steam is
released, the temperature of the Iron drops; thus the Water
Tank color may cycle down momentarily. Allow at least
4 seconds between Blasts of Steam to allow the Iron to regain heat.
NOTE: The red Thermostat Light will continue to cycle off and on during use as the
Iron maintains the desired temperature.
