Vertical Steam
This iron will help remove wrinkles and freshen garments on hangers,
or draperies, with vertical bursts of steam.
11. Hang the item that you want to steam-treat.
12. Set the iron to the highest setting.
13. Set the variable steam knob to the maximum setting.
14. Hold the iron with the soleplate facing the fabric, but not
touching it.
15. Press the Burst of Steam button. Make sure the steam penetrates
the fabric. Repeat until the wrinkles have been removed or the fabric
has been freshened to your taste. When you have finished pressing
or vertical steaming, press the on/off button and unplug the iron.
Be sure to allow the iron to cool completely before storing in a
cabinet or drawer.
Self-Clean System
WARNING
Operating the Self Clean feature will cause
hot water and steam to come out of the soleplate. Hold over sink and
away from the body, as instructed below.
1. Fill the iron to the max fill level with tap water.
2. Place iron on the heel rest.
3. Plug the iron into a 120V outlet.
4. Set temperature to maximum.
5. When iron indicates that the temperature is ready, unplug the
iron and hold over the sink with the soleplate facing down.
6. Move the variable steam control to the Self Clean position, press
and hold for 30 seconds.
7. Gently tilt the iron back and forth.
USE CAUTION IN THE NEXT STEP as the soleplate and flushed
water and deposits will be very hot.
8. After 30 seconds of Self Clean activation, release the Self Clean
control and place iron on its heel rest.
9. Unplug Iron.
10. With a clean soft cloth, wipe soleplate clean of water and
flushed deposits.
Selecting Fabric/Temperature Setting
5. Press one of the fabric setting buttons. There are 3 settings to
choose from. Low (Acrylic/Nylon), Medium (Silks/Rayon/Polyester),
and High (Wool/Cotton/Linen). You will hear an audible beep
each time you press the buttons, to confirm that your input has
been received.
6. When you select a particular setting the heater will go to the
appropriate temperature for the best pressing results. Once the
temperature is reached, the Ready Indicator will light and you will
hear a
double beep indicating that the iron is ready to press.
Adjusting Variable Steam
This iron is capable of both dry pressing and steam pressing. Dry
pressing is best for delicate fabrics like silk, that may be damaged
by steam.
7.To dry press, set the variable steam lever to the image of steam
with an “x” through it.
8. If steam is desired, you can choose the level of steam that best
suits your fabric and pressing needs. Simply adjust the steam knob
until you get the right amount of continuous steam. (Steam pressing
is only recommended for wool, cotton, and linen.)
9. The Burst of Steam is used to eliminate tough wrinkles. While
pressing, push the Burst of Steam control to get a maximum steam
shot through the fabric. Too many bursts in a row will cool the sole-
plate and take the iron out of the appropriate temperature setting.
After a few bursts, both Steam Ready and Soleplate Ready Lights
will go out. If the lights are not on, the iron is not at the correct tem-
perature. Please wait until both lights are on before you continue
pressing.
10. The Cool Spray helps eliminate wrinkles. Press the Cool Spray
button to moisten fabric before pressing. When the hot iron passes
over the moist fabric, the water will turn into steam and help
eliminate wrinkles.
FABRIC CARE TIP
Dry pressing is also a good second step
after steam pressing cotton pants, to achieve a crisp crease.
FABRIC CARE TIP
For heavy wrinkles or thick fabrics set the
variable steam knob to maximum steam.
