How to Use
This appliance is intended for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.
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.
Filling Water Tank
1. Grip each side of the water-fill cover and pull open (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. Close the water-fill cover.
Note: If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron and
follow above steps.
4. Plug the iron into an electrical outlet.
• The iron beeps.
• Digital display window illuminates and fabric setting
1 (ACRYL) displays on the window with a flashing up arrow
and a circle around the iron symbol (C).
5. Once the iron reaches the preset temperature, it beeps and the
display shows the set temperature, fabric type and the iron
symbol without the circle (D).
SELECTING FABRIC TEMPERATURE

Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside
seam or hem) before ironing.

temperature setting (from 1 to 7).

1. Use the pushbuttons on either side of the digital display
window (E).
