6. The Green Ready Light will illuminate once the press has reached the desired
temperature and is ready for you to start pressing. Be sure to use the provided
Pressing Cushion to flatten out gathered areas such as sleeves, darts and
yokes. If needed, use Spray Bottle for dampening fabric before pressing.
7. Pull down the Pressing Handle and press the Pressing Plate and the Ironing
Board together. Hold for a few seconds, then lift to separate the Pressing Plate
and Ironing Board.
IMPORTANT: Press On/Off Button to cancel your selected pressing cycle.
8. To use steam, adjust the Fabric Temperature Selection to Wool, Cotton or Linen
settings. The Yellow Steam Ready Light will illuminate to let you know that you
are able to use the Steam Burst Button for steaming your garments.
9. Pull the Pressing Handle down directly above the garment. When the handle is
1–2 inches away, push the Steam Burst Button and press the garment. Do NOT
activate Steam Burst Button when the unit is completely closed, you may dam-
age the press.
CAUTION: Do NOT hold down the press for longer than 5 seconds. If using
Steam Burst Button, do NOT fully close the press down onto the fabric. If you
hold down the press for too long, you may cause your garments to wrinkle
because they have gotten too hot. If this should happen, spray the garment
with water and start over.
CAUTION: When using steam, do NOT hold the Steam Burst Button down for
longer than 3 seconds. If steam is used for too long, you will cause the press
to drop dramatically in temperature and will have to wait for it to heat back
up. The drop in temperature cannot be avoided as the burst of steam cools
down the Pressing Plate instantly. By using steam in short bursts, you will
help to eliminate the dramatic temperature drop and thus be able to press
quicker and more efficiently.
Auto Shutoff and Auto Wake-Up:
E1. A warning beep will signal if the Pressing Plate is left in a closed position
against the Ironing Board for more than 10 seconds. The press will stop heating
and the Auto Shutoff feature will initiate unless the Pressing Plate is restored
to the lifted position. The Auto Wake-up feature will then kick in. In some cases,
you will need to either turn press off and then on again or unplug then re-plug
the unit in to reset function.
CAUTION: Do NOT lock Pressing Plate and Ironing Board together as press
will begin to beep. Only lock when storing.
Assembly and Use

E2. A warning beep will signal if the Pressing Plate is left in a lifted position without
use for approximately 10 minutes. The press will stop heating and Auto Shutoff
feature will engage. In order to restore use, simply press On/Off Button or press
Temperature Control buttons to reset the press.
Important note: If you forget to raise the Pressing Plate or become distracted, the
machine will give a warning beep then the Auto Shutoff feature will initiate. The
steam press will completely shutoff after about 10 minutes of no activity with the
press in the open position.
E3. A warning beep may be caused by a loose thermostat inside the machine.
CAUTION: If the E3 warning occurs, unplug your press and call our toll-free
Customer Service for warranty assistance.
WARNING: During initial use or after a long period of time without use, press
the Steam Burst Button continuously for several seconds to clear Pressing
Plate of residual water or calcium buildup in system before use.
NOTE: Some garments have details such as darts, curved seams and shoulder
pads which should not be pressed flat. Use Pressing Cushion provided for use in
these areas.
WARNING: Do NOT attempt to lower the Pressing Plate to its lowest position
or lock the press with the Pressing Cushion in between. You may damage
your press by doing so.
