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
fabric/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.

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. Slide the variable steam control 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.

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.
