•

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. 

•

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.

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.

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.

In order to remove calcium and built-up 

particles, the self-cleaning system should be 

run at least once a month.

• Fill the water beaker provided halfway

and then pour into the water reservoir.

• Set the variable steam control to the no 

steam position.

• Insert the main plug into the wall socket.

• Set the temperature control dial to the 

maximum temperature.

• Wait until the thermostat 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.

• Turn the variable steam control 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, shift 

the variable steam control 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.

5. As soon as the iron has reached the 

desired temperature, the temperature 

ready light will turn off.

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.

Remove any labels, stickers or tags 
which may be attached to the body or 
the soleplate of the iron before using 
the iron.
Before you start using your iron, read all 

the instructions in the manual and do 

the following in order to eliminate any 

odor and small white residue particles 

and to ensure optimum steam 

performance.
1. Fill the iron with regular tap water. 

(See page 5 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.

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.

1. Turn temperature dial to "MIN" and 

turn the variable steam control all 

the way to the left to "0". (Fig. 1)

2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V 

AC electrical outlet. The temperature 

ready 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.

For dry ironing, turn the variable steam 

control dial all the way to the right to “0”. 

This will cut off the steam flow if water is 

in the water tank. All marked settings on 

the temperature dial can be used for dry 

ironing.
