OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Emptying the Iron

1.  Always empty iron after each use.

2. When finished using the iron, turn the 

variable steam control to “0” and press 

the electronic temperature control button 

until the power light is lit.

3. Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.

4. Turn the iron upside down over the 

sink with the tip pointing downward 

and allow the water to flow from the 

opening.

5.  Place iron upright and allow to cool 

before storing. 

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.

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.

WARNING

: 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. Open the water filling inlet cover. 

Holding the iron at a slight angle, 

pour water slowly into the water 

filling inlet. (Fig. 1) Fill tank to 

desired level or to the “MAX” water 

level marking using the water filling 

flask. (When the iron is upright, the 

see-through water tank allows you to 

gauge the amount of water.) 

DO 

NOT

overfill the tank. When finished 

filling the iron with water, close the 

water inlet cover before continuing.

Fabric & Temperature Indicators

Press on the Electronic Temperature 

Control to select the desired fabric 

setting. The red lights at the left of the 

LED Display Panel will light up.

At the same time, the temperature 

indicator lights on the right side of the 

LED Display Panel will start to flash. 

They will stop flashing when the iron 

reaches the selected temperature.

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.

7. The iron is equipped with a retractable 

cord. Press the cord rewind button to 

engage cord storage. (Fig. 8) If the 

cord does not fully retract, pull it out 

again and then press on cord rewind 

button.

CAUTION

Always hold the plug when 

rewinding the power cord.  

Do not

allow 

plug to whip when rewinding.

CAUTION:

Use caution when 

emptying the iron. Burns may occur 

from touching hot metal surfaces, 

hot water or steam.

Dry Ironing

For dry ironing, slide the variable steam 

control all the way to the left to “0”. This 

will cut off the steam flow if water is in 

the water tank. All marked fabric 

settings on the LED Display Panel can 

be used for dry ironing.

Self Cleaning

It is important to “Self Clean” the iron at 

least every two weeks to remove scale, 

calcium, etc. The harder the water, the 

more often the iron should be self 

cleaned.

1. Set the variable steam control to 

any steam position.

2.  Fill the water tank up to the “MAX” 

level.

3. Stand the iron on its heel. Plug the 

iron into the electrical outlet.

4. Press the electronic temperature 

control button until you get the 

“MAX” temperature setting on the 

display panel and wait until the iron 

heats up and temperature setting 

light stops flashing. (Fig. 7)

5. Turn the variable steam control all 

the way to the right to the self-

cleaning position and hold the iron 

horizontally over the sink. (Fig. 7)

6.  Boiling water and steam will now be 

ejected from the holes in the 

soleplate. The impurities and scale 

are washed away with it. 

7. Move the iron back and forth as this 

happens.

8. If there is any water left in the water 

tank after the iron stops steaming, 

just empty the remaining water in a 

sink following the instructions for 

emptying the iron. 

9. Turn the variable steam control to 

the “0” position when the water tank 

is empty.

10. Place the iron back upright on its 

heel to cool down before storing.

1. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V 

AC electrical outlet. The power “ON” 

light will come on, indicating that the 

iron is receiving power.

2. Press on the electronic temperature 

control button to select the desired 

fabric/temperature setting. Turn the 

variable steam control to “0”. 

(See “Ironing Guide” for a guide to 

temperature selection.)

3. Place iron on its heel (on a stable, 

protected surface) while iron is 

warming to desired temperature.

Fig. 1

2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V 

AC electrical outlet.

3. Press on the electronic temperature 

control button to select the desired 

fabric and temperature setting. Turn 

the variable steam control dial to 

the desired steam setting. (See 

“Ironing Guide” for a guide to 

temperature selection.)

Steam Ironing

Note:

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.

Button

CAUTION 

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.

CAUTION

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.
