IRONING WITH STEAM
When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting on the control dial is within the STEAM
range to avoid water spotting on a garment.
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 3.
2. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water. (See FILLING THE WATER TANK
instructions.)
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to STEAM. Diagram 3.
5. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to reach the desired temperature. (The indicator light
will turn off.)
6. Shift the steam switch to the STEAM position. Diagram 4. As soon as the iron is held
horizontally, steam will flow through the vents. Placing the iron on its heel in an upright position
interrupts the flow of steam.
7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting and unplug. Diagram 3.
Allow to cool before cleaning or storing.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM
The iron can be used on the NO STEAM dry setting with or without water in the tank. However it
is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while dry ironing.
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 3.
2. Shift the steam setting switch to the NO STEAM setting. Diagram 4.
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting. Diagram 3.
5. When the indicator light turns off, the iron has reached the desired temperature.
6. If desired, you may still use the spray or burst buttons, as long as there is water in the tank.
7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting, and unplug. Diagram 3.
Allow to cool before cleaning or storing.
NOTE: During ironing, the ready light may turn on again which indicates that the iron is heating up
to maintain the proper temperature.
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO NOT fill it with water.
IRONING WITH EXTRA STEAM
For a penetrating blast of steam to iron faster and to smooth difficult wrinkles, firmly depress the
blast of steam button. Between the individual blasts of steam, pause for at least 5 seconds to let
the iron reheat for maximum additional steam. If water drops escape as you use the blast of steam,
turn the temperature control dial to a slightly warmer setting and wait for the indicator light to go
out.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
USING THE SPRAY BUTTON
For a mist of water to moisten dry and difficult fabrics such as linen, cotton or wool, or to handle
stubborn wrinkles, press the spray button. The spray function is also handy to moisten creases
accidentally ironed into the fabric.

FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Unplug the iron before filling.
2. Press the steam switch in the NO STEAM position, and hold the iron upright. Diagram 4.
3. Using the enclosed measuring cup, slowly pour water into the water tank opening. Diagram
5. Afterwards, hold the iron horizontally and look through the water window to check the water
level. (Slightly more than 2 cupfuls with the enclosed measuring cup fills the tank to
maximum.) Diagram 6.
Note: Your iron is designed to use tap water. However, if your water is very hard, it is
recommended you use distilled water. DO NOT use water from home water softening systems
because such water may contain minerals that may harm the iron.
EMPTYING THE WATER TANK
The water tank should be emptied after each use. To do so:
1. Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.
2. While the iron is still warm, hold the iron over a sink and allow the iron to drain by tipping the
point of the iron down.
3. Gently shake the iron to loosen any water drops that may be trapped. The warmth of the iron
should dry out any remaining water.
Note: If you empty the water tank after the iron has cooled, set the iron in an upright position on
its heel, plug it in and set the temperature dial to maximum heat for 2 minutes. Then unplug the
iron and let it cool before storing it.
