Atomizer Spray Nozzle

4. Place the iron on its heel on a stable, 

protected surface and allow the iron 

to heat for approximately two (2) 

minutes or until the temperature 

settings on the right side of the LED 

display panel have stopped flashing.

5. Turn the variable steam control dial 

to the right to increase the amount of 

steam. When using extra steam, the 

iron uses more water and it may be 

necessary to fill the water tank more 

often. (Fig. 2)

CAUTION: 

DO NOT aim iron at 

face, towards yourself, or anyone 

else while using or adjusting steam. 

Burns or serious injury may occur.

The burst of steam position is useful 

when ironing denim, cotton and linens. It 

provides quick bursts of steam which 

aid in removing stubborn wrinkles.
The burst of steam feature can be used 

with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.

1. Make sure the water tank is at least 

1/2 filled with water.

2. Select the desired fabric and 

temperature setting. Place the iron 

on its heel (on a stable, protected 

surface) and allow it to heat for 

approximately 2 minutes.

3. Position variable steam control to the 

burst of steam position. (Fig. 3)

4. With the iron in a horizontal position, 

press the steam button several times 

to prime the pump. 

5. Slide the variable steam control 

up to increase the amount of 
steam. (Fig. 3) When using extra 
steam, the iron uses more water 
and it may be necessary to fill 
the tank more often. See page 4 
for refilling the iron with water.

6. Steam is produced as soon as 

the iron is held in the horizontal 
position. Steam will stop coming 
out when the iron is put on its 
heel in a vertical position or by 
setting the variable steam control 
to “0”.

The atomizer spray nozzle is useful on 
fabrics with stubborn wrinkles. Press the 
spray button and a jet of water will spray 
onto the fabric being ironed. (Fig. 4) The 
water spray can be used with dry or 
steam ironing as desired.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Selecting Iron Temperatures

Always read garment labels and follow 

the manufacturer’s ironing instructions. 

Refer to the “Ironing Chart”  for 

temperature recommendations:

Use low settings for nylon and other 

synthetics.

•• Use moderate settings for wool, 

silks, and blends.

••• Use high settings for cottons and 

linens.

1. Stand the iron upright on its heel.

2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V 

AC electrical outlet.

3. Press the electronic temperature 

control until you get the desired 

fabric/temperature setting.

4. The light on the right side of the LED 

display panel will stop flashing when 

the desired temperature has been 

reached. (Fig. 5)

Ironing Hints
WARNING:

To prevent fire, do not 

leave iron unattended while 

connected.

• Sort articles to be ironed according 

to the type of fabric. This will reduce 

the need to adjust the temperature 

for different types of garments.

• If you are not sure of the fiber content 

of a garment, test fabric by ironing a 

small area such as a seam or inside 

hem section before ironing a visible 

area. Start with a low temperature 

setting and gradually increase to find 

the best setting.

• When reducing the temperature to 

iron sensitive fabrics, allow 

approximately 2 minutes for the iron 

to cool to the new temperature 

setting.

• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen 

and silk are best ironed with an 

ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.

Auto Shut-Off

The Retractor™ retractable cord iron is 

equipped with an auto shut-off. The auto 

shut-off switches the iron off if it has been 

left standing unmoved in any position 

(sideways, flat or upright) for 

approximately 7 minutes. A red light on 

the LED display panel will flash when the 

iron switches itself off. (Fig. 6) To switch 

the iron back on, just shake the iron side-

to-side several times, the iron will turn 

back on at the lowest temperature setting, 

regardless of the initial temperature 

setting. Reset to the desired temperature 

before continuing.
