USING AS A DRY IRON
The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the
tank, however it is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while
dry ironing.
1. Position temperature control dial to “OFF”.
2. Turn the variable steam switch to “OFF’(no steam).
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe
surface and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting.
5. When the ready light turns on, the iron has reached the desired
temperature.
6. To prevent water spotting during Dry Ironing, the burst of steam
feature should not be used.
7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to “OFF’, and
unplug. Allow the iron to cool before cleaning the
exterior or storing.
Note: During ironing, the ready light may turn off again which
indicates that the iron is heating up to maintain the proper temperature.
Caution: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot,
DO NOT fill it with water.
USING AS A STEAM IRON
When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting on the
control dial is within the “steam” range to avoid water spotting on a
garment.
1. Position temperature control dial to “OFF”.
2. Position the variable steam dial to “OFF’(No steam).
3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water.
4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe
surface and plug in.
5. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting.
6. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to reach the desired
temperature. Ready light will illuminate.
7. Turn the variable steam dial to “steam” for steam. As soon as the
iron is held horizontally, steam will flow through the vents. If the
iron fails to steam, gently tap the soleplate on the ironing surface.
Placing the iron on its heel in an upright position interrupts the
flow of steam.
8. When finished, turn temperature control dial and variable
temperature dial to “OFF” and unplug. Allow cooling before
cleaning the exterior of the iron or storing.
Caution: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
IRONING WITH EXTRA STEAM
For a penetrating burst of steam to iron faster and to smooth difficult
wrinkles, firmly depress and release the burst of steam button “
Pause for at least 5 seconds to let the iron reheat for maximum
additional steam. If water drops escape as you use the burst of steam,
turn the temperature control dial to a slightly warmer setting and wait
for a moment.
