INSTRUCCIONES PARA OPERAR (CONT.) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY and may be plugged into any
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do
not use any other type of outlet.
ALMACENAJE NOTE: Because of the soleplate design,
ordinary tap water may be used with this
iron. However, in very hard water areas,
we recommend using distilled or
demineralized water.
WARNING : Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other liquid, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
1. Open the water filling inlet cover.
Holding the iron at a slight angle,
pour water slowly into the water
filling inlet. See figure 1. Fill tank to
desired level or to the “MAX” water
level marking using the water filling
flask. (When the iron is upright, the
see-through water tank allows you to
gauge the amount of water.) DO
NOT overfill the tank. When finished
filling the iron with water, close the
water inlet cover before continuing.
NOTA: La función antigoteo reduce el
goteo de agua y sus las manchas; pero
no si se presiona el botón para chorros
súbitos de vapor con frecuencia, o si la
temperatura de la plancha está
demasiado baja. La cantidad del goteo
de agua irá disminuyendo después
utilizar la plancha para vaporizar dos o
tres tanques completos de agua.
1. Siempre gire el dial regulador de vapor
a la posición “0” después de vaciar el
agua de la plancha.
2. Permita que la plancha se enfríe.
3. Siempre guarde la plancha en posición
vertical para proteger la suela de la
plancha.
4. Limpie el exterior de la plancha
ocasionalmente con un paño húmedo
y séquela frotándola.
5. Si usa un spray de almidón para
planchar, frote la suela de la plancha
ocasionalmente con una tela suave
húmeda para evitar la acumulación del
almidón.
6. Si la plancha no se hubiese usado por
varias semanas, sosténgala
horizontalmente y permita que despida
vapor por 2 minutos antes de
planchar.
FABRIC & TEMPERATURE

Control to select the desired fabric
setting. The red lights at the left of the
LED Display Panel will light up.
At the same time, the temperature
indicator lights on the right side of the

They will stop flashing when the iron
reaches the selected temperature.
DRY IRONING
For dry ironing, turn the variable steam
control dial all the way to the right to “0”.
This will cut off the steam flow if water is
in the water tank. All marked fabric
settings on the LED Display Panel can
be used for dry ironing.

AC electrical outlet. The power “ON”
light will come on, indicating that the
iron is receiving power.

control button to select the desired
fabric/temperature setting. Turn the
variable steam control dial to “0”.
(See “Ironing Guide” for a guide to
