1. Do not rest iron on soleplate.  
9. CAUTION: Never use scouring  
pads, abrasive or chemical  
cleaners, or solvents to clean the  
exterior or soleplate of your iron.  
Doing so will scratch and/or  
damage the surface.  
2. Never use or rest iron on an  
unstable surface.  
3. While the iron is hot, never set iron  
on an unprotected surface - even if it

The odor is safe and should not reoccur  
EMPTYING THE IRON  
ANTI-DRIP FEATURE  
Ceramic Soleplate, remove any labels,  
stickers or tags that may be attached to  
the body or soleplate of the iron.  
When turned on for the first time, your  
new iron may emit an odor for up to 10  
minutes. This is due to the initial  
heating of the materials used in making  
the iron.  
after initial heating.  
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.  
Built-in Anti-Drip feature helps reduce  
water spots by cutting of 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.  
Also, before ironing with steam for the  
first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a  
horizontal position and hit the burst of  
steam button several times. The iron  
may emit some small particles from the  
steam holes. This is normal and will  
clear after pressing the burst of steam  
button several times.  
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.  
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.  
WARNING! Use caution when  
emptying the iron. Burns may  
occur from touching hot metal  
surfaces, hot water or steam.

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 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.  
Use low settings for synthetics.  
•• Use moderate settings for wool,  
silks, and blends.  
••• Use high settings for cottons and  
linens.  
Variable Steam Control  
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.

STEAM IRONING  
CAUTION! DO NOT aim iron  
at face, towards yourself, or  
anyone else while using or  
adjusting steam. Burns or  
serious injury may occur.  
1. Fill the iron with regular tap water.  
(See page 6 for filling instructions.)  
2. Set the temperature control dial to its  
highest setting and the variable  
steam control to “0”.  
3. When the temperature ready light  
goes off, the iron has reached the  
selected temperature. Set the  
variable steam control to the highest  
setting.  
4. Keep the iron in a horizontal position  
and allow it to steam until the water  
runs out. Press the blast of steam  
button to eliminate white residue  
particles.  
5. Repeat this procedure for two or  
three fillings of water.  
The blast-of-steam feature can be used  
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.

surface) while the iron is warming to  
desired temperature.  
DRY IRONING  
5. Slide the steam lever up to increase  
the amount of steam. (See figure 3)  
When using extra steam, the iron  
uses more water and it may be  
necessary to fill the tank more often.  
See page 6 for refilling the iron with  
water.  
All marked settings on the temperature  
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide  
the variable steam control lever all the  
way down as shown in Figure 1. This  
will cut off the steam flow if water is in  
the tank.  
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.
