Caring For Your Iron After Use - Oster GCSTCS-401 Instruction Manual

TIP: When using vertical steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a clothes hanger for
best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.
To use Vertical Steam:
1. Ensure that the iron is heated up and the ready indicator light has turned green.
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric
you want to steam.
3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
4. Press the Shot of Steam
iron across the wrinkled area.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being
steamed.
WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.
Auto-Off Feature
When the iron is plugged in, the wait/ready light will blink red, indicating that there is
power to the iron.
If you leave the iron:
• in a horizontal position without moving it, or accidentally tip the iron over, it will
automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. The wait/ready light will blink red to let
you know that the iron has stopped heating.
• in a vertical position (on its heel rest) without moving it, the iron will automatically turn
off after 15 minutes. The wait/ready light will blink red to let you know that the iron has
stopped heating.
IMPORTANT: The wait/ready light will continue to blink red until the iron is unplugged or
reset.
To reset the iron: Move the iron back and forth to reset. The wait/ready light will change
from blinking red to solid red and the iron will start heating again. Allow the iron to reheat
until the wait/ready light turns green again.
WARNING: Auto-Off is a safety feature, not a recommended means for turning your iron
off. See "Caring for Your Iron After Use" for information on turning off your iron and storing
it safely between use.
