BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Remove the soleplate protection. If necessary, wipe the soleplate with
a soft cloth and a small amount of denatured alcohol. Wipe with a soft
dry cloth. Allow the soleplate to dry before heating.
3. Fill the Water Reservoir with the supplied Water Jug. Empty out the Water
Reservoir to remove any foreign particles remaining in the Water Reservoir
from the manufacturing process. Never fill the Water Reservoir from a tap,
always use the supplied Water Jug.
NOTE:
Do not fill the Water Reservoir
above the MAX level indicated on the Water Reservoir.
4. When using the Iron for the first time, the Iron may give off vapours for
up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used.
This is normal and will only happen during the first use.
5. To clean steam vents, follow the directions for steam ironing and iron
over an old cloth for a few minutes. Press the Shot of Steam Button
several times to clean the vents.

2. Sort the items to be ironed according to the
fabric type. Iron fabrics requiring the coolest

NOTE:
If you cannot determine what
type of fabric an item is made of, test the
item by ironing a small section on an inside seam.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting by aligning the
setting on the Temperature Control Dial with the Temperature Indicator
Light. The Temperature Indicator Light illuminates to show that the soleplate
