ACAUTION To reduce the risk of personal injury and ® COMPONENTS IDENTIFICATION
damage to your iron: ® Steam/Dry Selector ® Handle
• Do not use water additives or substitute water such as scented water in the steam iron. They can
stain fabrics.
• If the Steam/Dry Seiector is not at Dry position after using, remaining water will move into the
Soleplate and can result in burns when the iron is used next time.
• Do not use the Steam or the Jet of Steam while the mains iead is unplugged, water will remain
inside the Soleplate and cause staining.
Do not use the Steam or the Jet of Steam while the Temperature Selector is set to “
0 ”.
• Most tap water can be used in this iron. If water is very hard, distilled or demineralized water should
be used. Do not use water processed through home water softening systems because this water
contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron. Do not use water additives or substitute water
such as linen or scented water in the steam iron. They can stain fabrics or damage the iron.
• When adding water to the iron, please hold the iron firmly to avoid dropping, or it may result in injury.
• Do not set the Steam/Dry Selector to the steam position unless the iron is sufficiently hot to
produce steam, otherwise water will leak out through the vents instead.
• Do not use the “ Jet of Steam Button ” until the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light turns off
after setting the Temperature Selector to “ MAX ”. Hot water may leak from the Soleplate and
burns may be resulted, and it may cause corrosion.
• If synthetics are being ironed on a higher temperature level than instructed, not only will the
fabric be ruined, but the Soleplate will often be covered with the melted remains of the synthetic
fabric.
Do not touch the hot parts of the appliance
to reduce the risk of burns.
________________READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS__________________
For proper use of your iron, read the remaining safety cautions and operation instructions.

(g) HELPFUL IRONING TIPS
The Temperature Selector has words, dots and steam symbols. The dots are symbols for 3
temperature ranges:
• Low Temperature
•• Medium Temperature
••• High Temperature
Some fabrics are labeled with these dots as a guide for selecting the proper ironing temperature
setting.
Note: The Thermostat Operating Indicator Light goes on and off alternately to indicate the
changing temperature of Soleplate. If you turn the Temperature Selector from a high
temperature to a lower temperature, wait until the indicator light turns on before using
the iron.
(g) HOW TO FILL WATER
1. Set the Steam/Dry Selector to the Dry position to avoid water leakage.
Open the Water Fill Cover, hold the iron as shown and fill the iron with water up to “ MAX ”
dot (about 310 mL). Use a cup for filling (see Note).
2. Check for the correct water fill level with the iron in the vertical position.
3. Close the Water Fill Cover, or water will splash from the Water Tank when ironing.
Note: Do not overfill the Water Tank. The steam will release through the vents when the iron
is positioned vertically.
(5) HOW TO USE AS A STEAM IRON
1. Fill the iron as described in “ HOW TO FILL WATER ”.
2. Position the iron vertically and be sure the Temperature Selector is set to “ 0
3. Plug the mains lead into the household mains socket.
4. Set the Temperature Selector to the steam zone (“ «
ì :? ” to “ ^ ”). The Thermostat Operating
Indicator Light goes on.
If the temperature of Soleplate is high, the light does not go on.
“ 07 ” zone: Low steam, for thin or delicate fabrics requiring a small amount of steam.
“
5^ ” zone: High steam, for fabrics requiring a lot of steam, (i.e. thick materials, items with
stubborn wrinkles).
5. Preheat the iron until the Indicator Light goes out, usually it takes about 1 minute.
The light will go on and off while ironing to indicate the temperature chosen by the Temperature
Selector is being maintained.
6. Hold the iron horizontally and set the Steam/Dry Selector to the steam position.
7. Whenever the iron is positioned vertically, the steaming action will stop.
