How to Use
This appliance is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.
Important: For warranty verification, please do not remove line cord sticker.
Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a
home softening system.
Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before
beginning to iron.
TO FILL THE WATER TANK
1. Grasp the water-fill cover and pull it out to expose the
water-fill hole. Be careful not to pull too hard as the
water-fill cover is attached to the inside of the water-fill
hole (A).
2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water
into opening until the water reaches the MAX level mark
on the water tank (B). Do not overfill.
3. After filling, be sure to push the water-fill cover securely
back into the water-fill hole.
4. Plug in the iron. The power on indicator light comes
on (C).
Tip: If unsure of a garment’s fiber, test a small area (on an
inside seam or hem) before ironing.
FOR STEAM IRONING
1. Turn the selector to the desired steam level. To get
maximum steam, set the selector the middle position (D).
Steam is produced as soon as you hold the iron.
Important: Do not set the selector past the middle position.
If you do, it activates the self-cleaning feature.
2. Turn the fabric-select dial to appropriate setting (between
4 and 6) for your fabric (E). See fabric guide on the heel
rest and read garment’s label to help you determine fabric
type.
• The temperature-ready light glows until it reaches the
appropriate temperature.
• It then glows on and off during ironing. This is normal.
3. When finished ironing, turn the fabric-select dial to
lowest heat setting, move the selector to and unplug
the iron.
FOR DRY IRONING
1. Make sure selector is set to . You may want to empty the water
(see “Emptying Water Tank After Ironing - Optional”).
2. Turn the fabric-select dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric. See fabric
guide on the heel rest and read garment’s label to help you determine
