IRONING CHART  

BEFORE FIRST USE

NOTE:

Before starting to iron delicate 

fabrics, it is best to first test the 
temperature of the iron on a hem or an 
inside seam.

To select iron temperature, align 
temperature selected on dial with 
the indicator on the water tank.

Remove any labels, stickers or tags which may be attached to the body or 
soleplate of the iron before using the iron.
Read all instructions for use carefully. Always follow the Important Safeguards.

Before you start using your iron, follow the instructions in the manual and do the 
following in order to eliminate any odor and small white residue particles and to 
ensure optimum steam performance.

• Fill the iron with regular tap water.
• Set the temperature control dial to its highest setting, the spray/burst of steam 

button to the steam setting and the steam control knob to the lowest steam 
setting.

• When the thermostat light goes off to indicate that the iron has reached the 

selected temperature, set the steam control knob to the highest setting.

• Keep the iron in a horizontal position and allow it to steam until the water runs 

out.

• Press the spray/burst of steam button to eliminate white residue particles.
• Repeat this procedure through 2 or 3 fillings.

IMPORTANT

The first time an iron is used, some odor and small white particles may come 
out of the steam vents.  This is perfectly normal and will cease to occur after the 
iron has been in use for a short while.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using your iron, check the voltage and type of plug that is required for 
your location.  If necessary, readjust the dual voltage switch according to local 
voltage: 110V - 120V or 220V - 240V. This is accomplished by sliding the dual 
voltage control switch located in the rear of the iron to the corresponding 
voltage setting.

Caution:

Always disconnect the iron before adjusting the dual voltage 
switch to the correct voltage setting.
