Non-Stick Finish
(Some Models Only)
• The non-stick coating prevents sticking of fabrics and starch residue to the soleplate.
• To clean the soleplate, allow iron to cool and wipe with a soft cloth using a mild vinegar solution.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage the finish.
NOTE: Scratches in the non-stick soleplate do not affect the performance of the iron.
CARE AFTER EACH USE
• Turn the steam dial to DRY.
• Unplug the iron from the power outlet.
• Empty the water tank by opening the water reservoir cover and turn the iron upside down to
allow water to flow from the opening. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops.
• Use cover and allow the iron to cool.
• Retract cord into cord reel. Always store iron on its heel rest.
• When not ironing, always set steam dial to DRY.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Steam Valve
The steam valve (attached to the variable steam dial) is removable for easy cleaning of lint and
scale build up. Cleaning the steam valve is only necessary if you notice a reduction in steam
performance. To remove the steam valve, empty the water tank and place iron on the soleplate.
Turn the variable steam dial to CLEAN. The valve will “pop-up”. Pull up to remove the steam valve
fully. Wipe the tip gently with a damp cloth to clean. To replace, align CLEAN with the indicator
mark. Push down and rotate clockwise to DRY.
NOTE: Do not pour water into the steam valve hole.
Soleplate
If starch or other material clings to the irons soleplate, allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soft,
damp cloth. Avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, rivets, etc., as they may scratch the soleplate.
Storage
Always store your iron on the heel rest. Never store with the soleplate facing down or in the
carton. Always store your iron with the steam dial turned to DRY. Retract cord into cord reel.

SHOT OF STEAM ® Feature
• The SHOT OF STEAM
®
feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of stubborn
wrinkles. The SHOT OF STEAM ® feature can be used with dry or steam ironing provided the
tank is at least 1/4 full of water and the temperature dial is set within the steam band.
• Place the iron on top of the wrinkle and press the SHOT OF STEAM ® button each time you
would like an extra burst of steam. THE SHOT OF STEAM
®
feature can be used continuously
with just a short pause between shots.
VERTICAL STEAM (Select models only)
• The vertical steam feature allows your iron to function as a garment steamer.
TIP: When using the vertical steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a clothes hanger for best
results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.
To Use VERTICAL STEAM:
1. Make sure that the iron has heated up (2 minutes).
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric you want
to steam.
3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
4. Press the SHOT OF STEAM
®
button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the iron
across the wrinkled area.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being steamed.
DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.
SPRAY MIST
®
Feature
(Some Models Only)
• Use the SPRAY MIST
®
feature to dampen fabrics with stubborn wrinkles.
• Press the gray SPRAY MIST
®
button firmly to produce spray.
MOTION SMART ® Auto Off Feature (Some Models Only)
• When the iron is plugged into 120 volt AC electrical outlet, the
steady red light signals that the iron is plugged in and is ready to
be turned on.
• If the iron is left on the heel rest unmoved the iron will stop heating in
15 minutes. The light on the handle will blink to indicate the iron has automatically shut off and
will continue blinking until the iron is restarted or unplugged.
• If the iron is left unmoved in the ironing position or accidentally tipped over, the iron will
stop heating in 30 seconds. Again, the light on the handle will blink to indicate the iron has
automatically shut off and will continue blinking until the iron is restarted or unplugged.

then go off.
• To restart the iron, move the iron back and forth. Allow the iron to heat and continue ironing
as normal.
