Before Use

- Please read all of the Instructions for Use and

the Important Safety Guards carefully.

- Remove all packaging from the iron.
- Remove the soleplate protector.
- It is normal for a small amount of smoke and

a light odor to be produced the first time it is
used. This will quickly disappear.

- Particles may emit from iron during first use.

They are not harmful and sould disppear
after the iron has been alowed.

Helpful Hints

-

When ironing, start with fabrics that require a low tempera-
ture setting (•) and finish with those which need the highest
temperature (•••).

-

Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature for
the most delicate fabrics. For example a shirt that is 60 %
cotton and 40 % polyester should be ironed at the (•) set-
ting for synthetics.

-

If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the
garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing by set-
ting garment aside for 30 seconds.

-

For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow
excess steam to escape.

-

For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on
an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.

-

Adhere to manufacturer recommendations on garment label.

3 Way Auto-Off

-  If the iron is not moved while it isplugged in,

an internal safety switch will turn it off.

- It will turn off in 8 minutes if left vertically or

in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate or tipped
over. A red flashing light indicates that the
auto-off has been activated.

- To switch the iron on again, move the iron

or gently shake it. 

Auto off is not on/off switch.
Always unplug iron when it is not use.

Filling with Water

- Ensure the iron is unplugged. 
- Slide the variable steam control completely to

the left.

- Rest the iron on heel and tilt it foward 

approximately 1 inch. If the iron is equiped
with a covered filling inlet, open the filling
inlet by sliding the cover down.

- Hold the appliance upright so that the water

inlet is horizontal.

- Fill with water (containing no additives) to 

the max mark on the water tank. We recommend
using water pitcher rather than filling under the
tap.

- If you need to add water during ironing,

UNPLUG the iron and follow the steps above.

- Ensure iron heats back to temperature after-

wards, that means thermostat light will go out.
