Before Use
- Please read all of the Instructions for Use and
the Important Safety Guards carefully.
- Remove all packaging from the iron.
- Remove the soleplate protector.
Helpful Hints
-
When ironing, start with fabrics that require a low temperature
setting (•) and finish with those which need the highest
temperature (•••).
-
Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature
for the most delicate fabrics. For example a shirt that is
60 % cotton and 40 % polyester should be ironed at the (•)
setting for synthetics.
-
If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of
the garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing
by setting garment aside for 30 seconds.
-
For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow
excess steam to escape.
-
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on
an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.
-
Adhere to manufacturer recommendations on garment label.
3 Way Auto-Off (depending on model)
- If the iron is not moved while it is plugged
in, an internal safety switch will turn it off.
- It will turn off in 8 minutes if left vertically or
in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate or tipped
over. A red flashing light indicates that the
auto-off has been activated.
- To switch the iron on again, move the iron
or gently shake it.
Auto off is not on/off switch.
Always unplug iron when it is not use.
Filling with Water
- Ensure the iron is unplugged.
- Slide the variable steam control completely
to the left.
- Rest the iron on heel and tilt it forward
approximately 1 inch.
- Fill with water (containing no additives) to
the max mark on the water tank. We recommend
using a water pitcher rather than filling under
the tap. Iron holds approximately 8.5 oz. of
water.
- If you need to add water during ironing,
UNPLUG the iron and follow the steps above.
- Ensure iron heats back to temperature
afterwards, that means thermostat light
will go out.
