STEAM IRONING
Fig. 9
Fig. 2
All marked settings on the temperature
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide
the variable steam control lever to the
“0” position as shown in Figure 1. This
will cut off the steam flow if water is in
the tank.
1. Turn temperature dial to "MIN" and
slide the variable steam control lever
all the way to "0".
2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V
AC electrical outlet. The temperature
indicator light will come on,
indicating that the iron is receiving
power.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the
desired setting. (See "Ironing Guide"
for a guide to temperature selection.)
4. Place iron on its heel (on a stable,
protected surface) while iron is
warming to desired temperature.
5. When the desired temperature is
reached, the temperature indicator
light will go “Off”.

STORAGE
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to "0" after you have emptied
the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY and may be plugged into any
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do
not use any other type of outlet.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT THE RISK
OF BURNS, use caution when filling
iron with water. Burns can occur
from touching hot metal parts, hot
water or steam.
NOTE:
Because of the soleplate design,
ordinary tap water may be used with this
iron. However, in very hard water areas,
we recommend using distilled or
demineralized water.
CAUTION
: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other liquid, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
1. Turn temperature dial to "Min" and
slide the variable steam control lever
to the “0” position.
2. Holding the iron at a slight angle,
pour water slowly into the water
filling inlet. )Fig. 2) Fill tank to
desired level or to the "MAX" water
level marking using the water filling
flask. (When the iron is upright, see-
through water tank allows you to
gauge the amount of water.)
DO
NOT
overfill the tank.
DRY IRONING
WARNING!
DO NOT aim iron at face,
towards yourself, or anyone else
while using or adjusting steam.
Burns or serious injury may occur.
WARNING!
Before filling the iron
with water, be sure the iron is not
plugged into the electrical outlet. The
iron may be filled with water while it
is hot.
3. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V
AC electrical outlet.

EMPTYING THE IRON
In order to remove calcium and built-up
particles, the self-cleaning system should be
run at least once a month. (Fig. 9)
• Fill the water flask provided to the half-full
mark and then pour into the water
reservoir.
• Set the variable steam control to the no
steam position (“0”).
• Insert the plug into the wall socket.
• Set the temperature control dial to the
maximum temperature.
• Wait until the temperature indicator light
goes off and steam iron has reached
preset temperature.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Hold the steam iron horizontally over a
sink.
• Place the variable steam control lever to
“Self-Clean” position. Hot water and
steam will be emitted from the soleplate.
Swing the steam iron lightly back and forth
gently to allow lime and dust particles to
come out.
• When the water reservoir is empty, slide
the variable steam control lever from “Self-
Clean” position to “0”.
• Stand the iron upright and insert the plug
into the wall socket to let the iron heat up
again.
• Move the iron over a clean cotton cloth to
clean the soleplate and let the remaining
water on the soleplate evaporate.
SELF CLEANING
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control to “0” and
the temperature control dial to “MIN”.
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
4. Set variable steam control to “MAX”.
5. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
6. Set variable steam control to “0”.
7. Allow iron to cool in an upright
position before storing.
ANTI-DRIP FEATURE
Built-in Anti-Drip feature helps reduce
water spots by cutting the water flow
when the iron temperature is too low to
build sufficient steam. The anti-drip
function reduces water dripping and
water stains. It does not prevent water
dripping and water stains if you press
the steam burst button too often or if the
temperature is too low. The amount of
water droplets will eventually decrease
after the iron is used for 2 to 3 tankfuls
of steaming and ironing.
WARNING!
Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces,
hot water or steam.

The anti drip function reduces
