shot through the fabric. Too many bursts in a row will cool the sole-
plate and take the iron out of the appropriate temperature setting.
After a few bursts, check the “dots” display. If the dots are not in the
display, the iron is not at the correct temperature. Please wait until
the dots reappear and then continue pressing.
10. The Cool Spray feature helps eliminate wrinkles. Press the Cool
Spray button to moisten fabric before pressing. When the hot iron
passes over the moist fabric, the water will turn into steam and help
eliminate wrinkles.
Vertical Steam
This iron will help remove wrinkles and freshen garments on hangers,
or draperies, with vertical bursts of steam.
11. Hang the item that you want to treat, such as a suit jacket.
12. Set the iron to the highest setting: linen.
13. Hold the iron with the soleplate facing the fabric, but not
touching it.
14. Press the Burst of Steam button. Make sure the burst of steam is
penetrating the fabric. Repeat until the wrinkles have been removed
or the fabric has been freshened to your taste.
When you have finished pressing or vertical steaming, press the
on/off button and unplug the iron. Be sure to allow the iron to cool
completely before storing in a cabinet or drawer.
Self-Clean System
WARNING
Operating the Self Clean feature will cause hot
water and steam to come out of the soleplate. Hold over sink and
away from the body, as instructed below.
1. Fill the iron to the max fill level with tap water.
2. Place iron on the heel rest.
3. Plug the iron into a 120V outlet.
4. Set temperature to maximum (three dots or linen).
5. When iron indicates that the temperature is ready, unplug the
iron and hold over the sink with the soleplate facing down.
6. Move the variable steam control to the Self Clean position and
hold for 30 seconds.
7. Gently tilt the iron back and forth. USE CAUTION IN THE NEXT
STEP as the soleplate and flushed water and deposits will be very hot.
3. Plug the iron into a 120V electrical receptacle. Make sure that
no other high wattage appliances are plugged into the same circuit.
4. Press the power on/off button. You will see the following
message on the display: “Hello, please select fabric setting by
pressing up or down button”.
Selecting Your Fabric/Temperature Setting
5. Press the up or down button to scroll through the fabric settings.
There are seven settings to choose from. Each setting corresponds
to the safest temperature for that fabric:
(lowest to highest) Acrylic, Silk, Rayon, Polyester, Wool, Cotton,
and Linen.
6. When you stop on a particular fabric, i.e. “Cotton”, the iron will
heat to the appropriate temperature to achieve the best pressing
results with that fabric. Once the temperature has been reached, a
set of “dots” will appear in the display. These dots correspond to
fabric care symbols that may be found on the fabric care tag of
your garment. They are:
“One dot” (low); “two dots” (medium); and “three dots” (high)
Adjusting Variable Steam
This iron is capable of both dry pressing and steam pressing. Dry press-
ing is best for delicate fabrics like silk, that may be damaged by steam.
7. To dry press, set the variable steam lever to the image of steam
with an “x” through it.
8. If steam is desired, you can choose the level of steam that best
suits your fabric and pressing needs. Simply adjust the steam lever
until you get the right amount of continuous steam (Steam pressing
is only recommended for wool, cotton, and linen).
9. The Burst of Steam is used to eliminate tough wrinkles. While
pressing, push the Burst of Steam control to get a maximum steam
FABRIC CARE TIP
Dry pressing is also a good second step
after steam pressing cotton pants, to achieve a crisp crease.
FABRIC CARE TIP
For heavy wrinkles or thick fabrics, set the
variable steam lever to maximum steam.
