SmartSteam™ Technology
This technology gives you the control of both soleplate
heat and steam level in one dial. On traditional irons the
controls are separated, making it difficult to know what
settings are right for each fabric. These simple controls
take the guesswork out of ironing and ensure optimal
results every time. (C)
Burst of Steam
Press the burst of steam button to generate additional steam. For best
performance, leave several seconds between bursts. This feature works on
settings 4–6 on the SmartSteam™ dial.
Spray Mist
Press the Spray Mist button to generate a light spray of water. Spray Mist
is used to dampen tough wrinkles while dry or steam ironing. This setting
works at any SmartSteam™ dial setting. Do not spray silk.
3-way Auto Shut-Off
The iron will automatically switch to Auto Shut-Off mode and stop heating
after being left inactive for 30 seconds on the soleplate or side, and 8
minutes on the heel rest. When the iron is in Auto Shut-Off mode, the red
light on the handle will blink. Simply move the iron to resume ironing and
the soleplate will automatically heat to selected temperature.
Vertical Steaming
Skip the ironing board and use your iron like a garment steamer for small
touch-ups. This can also be used for curtains or drapes.
1. Start by following the instruction 1–4 in the "Using your Iron" section
to heat the iron.
2. Once the iron is preheated, place your garment on a hanger and
hang it in a location that would not be impacted by the steam
Tip: Shower rods in your bathroom are a great location.
3. Hold the garment tight from the base or side (being careful to keep
your hand away from the steam) and hold the iron in the other hand.
4. Place the heated soleplate about an inch away from the fabric and
press the Burst of Steam button on the handle. Allow a few seconds
between bursts to avoid water dripping.
Tip: If water dripping occurs, that means the soleplate isn't hot enough
to create steam. Just allow the iron a minute to reheat and then
resume steaming.
5. When finished steaming, turn the dial to the MIN setting and unplug
from the outlet.
6. Stand iron on its heel rest and allow it to completely cool off
before storing.
