HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove all labels, tags and stickers attached to the body,
cord or soleplate of the iron and the plastic band around
13
the power plug.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please note that water droplets may still be visible in the
tank at the time of purchase. This is from the individual
quality tests done to ensure that every iron meets our
high standards for product performance.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. With the iron on a flat surface with the soleplate down,
open the water-fill cover.
2. Using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opening
until water reaches the "MAX" level mark on the side of
the water tank. Do not overfill. Close the water-fill cover
securely.
3. Stand the iron on the heel rest.
4. To refill at any time during the ironing process, unplug
the iron and follow the above procedure.
USING YOUR IRON
1. Plug the iron into an outlet. The red power/auto off light
will illuminate under the handle, indicating that the iron
is heating.
2. Read the manufacturer fabric labels for material content
and clothing care recommendations to help select the
correct temperature and steam settings.
3. Select the temperature on the iron by turning the temp
dial until you've reached the desired setting based on
the fabric type: synthetic, nylon or silk, polyester, blend,
wool, cotton or linen.
4. Allow the iron about
2 minutes to heat
up to the desired
temperature.
5. To dry iron (without
steam), it is not
necessary to empty
the water tank; simply
move the variable
steam control all the way to the left on the dry iron
setting.
• NO steam: synthetics, nylon, silk, polyester
6. To iron with steam, push the variable steam control
to the desired amount of steam. For optimal results,
the steam settings should be used with the following
temperature settings.
• Low steam: blends
• Medium steam: wool
• High steam: cotton or linen
7. When finished ironing, turn the temp. dial to the
minimum setting and unplug from the outlet.
8. Stand the iron on its heel rest and allow it to cool off.
