BEFORE USE
M
Please read the instructions for use and the
Important Safeguards
carefully.
M
Slowly peel the protective cover off the soleplate or remove the
transparent soleplate protector.
M
It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced the first
time the iron is used. This will quickly disappear.
3-WAY AUTO-OFF (depending on model)
M
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.
Wait until iron is fully reheated before
use.
STEAM IRONING
Filling with water
M
Ensure the iron is unplugged.
M
Slide the variable steam control com-
pletely to the left to shut off the steam
valve.
M
Hold the iron upright so that the water
filling inlet is horizontal.
M
Fill the iron with tap water up to the
maximum level mark (see water usage
for more information).
Adding water
M
If you need to add water during ironing,
UNPLUG the iron and repeat above
steps.
M
Ensure iron is fully reheated after filling
(temperature indicator light goes out)
before ironing.
M
To avoid damage to clothes from dust
or dirt that may collect in the iron,
we recommend that for the first use or
after the iron has been stored for some
time that you first iron an old cloth,
testing both the steam and burst of
steam feature.
