to heat for approximately two (2)
minutes or until the temperature
settings on the right side of the LED
display panel have stopped flashing.

CAUTION DO NOT aim iron at
face, towards yourself, or
anyone else while using or adjusting
steam. Burns or serious injury may
occur.
The burst of steam position is useful
when ironing denim, cotton and linens. It
provides quick bursts of steam which
aid in removing stubborn wrinkles.
The burst of steam feature can be used
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.
1. Make sure the water tank is at least
1/2 filled with water.
2. Select the desired fabric and
temperature setting. Place the iron
on its heel (on a stable, protected
surface) and allow it to heat for
approximately 2 minutes.
3. Position variable steam control to the
burst of steam position. (Fig. 3)
4. With the iron in a horizontal position,
press the steam button several times
to prime the pump.
5. Slide the variable steam control
up to increase the amount of
steam. (Fig. 3) When using extra
steam, the iron uses more water
and it may be necessary to fill
the tank more often. See page 4
for refilling the iron with water.
6. Steam is produced as soon as
the iron is held in the horizontal
position. Steam will stop coming
out when the iron is put on its
heel in a vertical position or by
setting the variable steam control
to “0”.
The atomizer spray nozzle is useful on
fabrics with stubborn wrinkles. Press the
spray button and a jet of water will spray
onto the fabric being ironed. (Fig. 4) The
water spray can be used with dry or

IRONING HINTS
WARNING To prevent fire, do not
leave iron unattended while
connected.
• 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 fabric by
ironing 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.
