© HOW TO USE THE “ JET OF STEAM ” FEATURE ® 3-WAY CLEANING
The “Jet of Steam” feature provides extra steam which goes deep into the garment and is helpful
for removing stubborn wrinkles. The “Jet of Steam” feature operates properly only in the “ MAX ”
position of the Temperature Selector when steam or dry ironing (If used at lower setting, water
spotting will occur because the iron is not hot enough to change water to steam). If you have
not used the “ Jet of Steam ” feature for a long time, it is necessary to clean the inside of the
iron before using this feature on any clothes to be ironed. Simply test the “Jet of Steam” feature
several times away from the ironing board and clothes to be ironed. This will prevent brown spotting
or water spotting on the clothes.
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 “ MAX ” position.
5. Preheat the iron until the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light goes out, usually it takes about
1 minute.
6. Simply pump the “ Jet of Steam Button ” when steam is desired. Pump the “Jet of Steam
Button” several times at the beginning of each ironing session.
7. Press the “ Jet of Steam Button ” in intervals of at least 5 seconds between use to prevent
water spotting. Use a press cloth if necessary.
© HOW TO USE THE “ VERTICAL STEAM ” FEATURE
To get better results when using vertical steam, hang the garment on a clothes hanger. Curtains
and drapes may also be steamed once they are hung. Hold the iron away from your body, close
to but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tightly with your free hand and pump the Vertical Steam
Button (Jet of Steam Button) at 5 seconds intervals as you press the iron over the wrinkled fabric.
HOW TO USE THE “ SPRAY ” FEATURE
Note: Before using the spray feature, check the fabric label for ironing instructions. Some
fabrics may become spotted or stained with moisture.
The spray feature is particularly helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles and where extra dampening
is needed.
The spray may be used with steam or dry ironing.
1. Simply pump the Spray Mist Button whenever spray is desired. If the spray doesn’t work
immediately, keep pumping until it does.
2. To get a finer spray, pump the Button repeatedly. To get a more powerful spray, pump the
Button more slowly. For best results, use a quick, full stroke.
© HOW TO USE AS A DRY IRON
1. Set the Steam/Dry Selector to the Dry position.
2. Position the iron vertically, set the Temperature Selector to “ 0 ’
3. Plug the mains lead into the household mains socket.
WAY(1) Using the Self-Cleaning feature
1. Fill the iron as described in “ HOW TO FILL WATER ”.
2. Set the Temperature Selector to the “ 0 ” position.
3. Plug the mains lead into the household mains socket.
4. Set the Temperature Selector to the “ MAX ” position.
5. Unplug the iron after the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light has gone out.
6. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink, press and hold the Self-Cleaning Button and gently
shake the iron to and fro. Impurities and scale (if any), together with steam and boiling water,
will be flushed out.
Then, turn to WAY (2).
WAY(2) Using the Jet of Steam feature
1. Repeat step 1 to 4 as described above.
2. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink after the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light has
gone out.
3. Pump the “ Jet of Steam Button ” quickly (at least 3 times per second) about 20-30 times.
While pumping, tilt the iron up and down slowly to help clean the entire inside and let the water
drip out of the soleplate vents.
4. Preheat the iron for about 5 minutes at “MAX” temperature when the iron has cooled without
button operation.
5. Unplug the iron.
6. Do not store the iron with water in it.
7. Iron on a used cloth to remove any impurities on the Soleplate.
♦ Repeat WAY(1) and WAY(2) if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
♦ Use both ways once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. Steam holes
on the Soleplate are easily blocked by impurities), both ways should be used more frequently.
♦ Let the iron cool down on its Heel Rest and follow the instructions “ AFTER EACH USE
WAY(3) Anti Calc System(Stay Clean Vents)
The built-in Anti Calc System in the Water Tank continuously reduces scale build up in the
vaporizing chamber of the iron.
This system makes it possible to use the steam function for a long period of time and prevents
steam vents from clogging.
© ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (AUTOMATIC WATER SEAL)
This model has an Anti-Drip System. When the temperature of the Solepiate’s surface drops
below 115°C (238°F), the valve for the vaporizing chamber in the iron automatically closes and
stops the water from flowing. This prevents hot unvaporized water from spewing out from the
Soleplate when the iron has cooled down. With this System, it is unnecessary for you to wait
until the inside of the vaporizing chamber dries completely when you store the iron.
Note: It is not a sign of malfunction when you hear a clicking sound. This sound can be heard
whenever this system is activated.
