EMPTYING THE IRON
STORAGE
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY and may be plugged into any
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do
not use any other type of outlet.
WARNING!
Before filling the iron
with water, be sure the iron is not
plugged into the electrical outlet. The
iron may be filled with water while it
is hot.
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control to“0” and
the temperature control dial to "MIN".
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
4. Set variable steam control to "MAX".
5. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
6. Set variable steam control to "0".
7. Allow iron to cool in an upright
position before storing.
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to “0” after you have
emptied the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT THE RISK
OF BURNS, use caution when filling
iron with water. Burns can occur
from touching hot metal parts, hot
water, or steam.
NOTE:
Because of the soleplate design,
ordinary tap water may be used with this
iron. However, in very hard water areas,
we recommend using distilled or
demineralized water.
CAUTION
: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other liquid, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
1. Turn temperature dial to "••" or "•••"
and slide lever all the way to the left.
2. Holding the iron at a slight angle,
pour water slowly into the water
filling inlet. See figure 2. Fill tank to
desired level or to the “MAX”
water level marking using the water
filling flask. (When the iron is upright,
see-through water tank allows you to
gauge the amount of water.) DO
NOT overfill the tank.

3. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V
AC electrical outlet.

DRY IRONING
All marked settings on the temperature
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide
the variable steam control lever all the
down as shown in Figure 1. This will cut
off the steam flow if water is in the tank.
WARNING!
Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces,
hot water or steam.
WARNING:
The anti-drip function
reduces water dripping and water
stains. It does not prevent water
dripping or water stains if you press
the steam burst button too often or if
temperature is too low. The amount
of water droplets will eventually
decrease after iron is used for 2 to 3
tankfuls of steaming and ironing.
SELF-CLEANING
In order to remove calcium and built-up
particles, the self-cleaning system should be
run at least once a month.
• Fill the water beaker provided halfway
and then pour into the water reservoir.
• Set the variable steam control to the no
steam position.
• Insert the main plug into the wall socket.
• Set the temperature control dial to the
maximum temperature.
• Wait until the thermostat light goes off and
steam iron has reached preset
temperature.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Hold the steam iron horizontally over a
sink.
• Turn the variable steam control to
“Self-Clean ” position. Hot water and
steam will be emitted from the soleplate.
Swing the steam iron lightly back and forth
gently to allow lime and dust particles to
come out.
• When the water reservoir is empty, shift
the variable steam control from “Self-
Clean” position to “0”.
• Stand the iron upright and insert the plug
into the wall socket to let the iron heat up
again.
• Move the iron over a clean cotton cloth to
clean the soleplate and let the remaining
water on the soleplate evaporate.
1. Turn temperature dial to "MIN" and
slide the variable steam control lever
all the way down to "0".
2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V
AC electrical outlet. The power "ON"
light will come on, indicating that the
iron is receiving power.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the
desired setting. (See "Ironing Guide"
for a guide to temperature selection.)
4. Place iron on its heel (on a stable,
protected surface) while iron is
warming to desired temperature.
5. Always allow the iron to cool before
attaching the super-size soleplate.
STEAM IRONING
WARNING!
DO NOT aim iron at face,
towards yourself, or anyone else
while using or adjusting steam.
Burns or serious injury may occur.
