IRONING HINTS
WARNING!
To prevent fire, do not
leave iron unattended while
connected.
•
Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature
for different types of garments.
•
If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test a small
area such as a seam or inside hem
section before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature setting
and gradually increase to find the
best setting.
•
When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the iron
to cool to the new temperature
setting.
•
Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
NOTE:
Before starting to iron delicate
fabrics, it is best to first test the
temperature of the iron on a hem or
an inside seam.

1. Place garment on a hanger, away

ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC
SHUT-OFF
The auto shut-off safety function of your
iron is designed to engage from any
position after approximately 7 minutes of
non-use. The auto shut-off indicator light
will turn on when the auto shut-off has
been activated. (Fig. 8) To reset your iron
and continue ironing follow these steps.
1) Lift iron from ironing board.
2) Holding the iron horizontally in front of
you, gently rock the iron back and
forth several times. This motion will
reset the safety switch inside the iron.
Do Not Shake the Iron.
The temperature indicator light will
illuminate when the auto shut-off system
has been reset. Allow time for the iron to
re-heat. The temperature indicator light
will go out when the iron is ready for use.

iron is held in the horizontal position.
Steam will stop coming out when the
iron is put on its heel in a vertical
position or by sliding the steam lever
to "0".
NOTE:
If the tank runs dry, remove the
plug from wall outlet. Then, fill the iron
with water and re-prime the pump. The
iron may be filled with water while it is
hot.
WATER SPRAY
The water spray is useful on fabrics with
stubborn wrinkles. Press the spray
button and a jet of water will spray onto
the fabric being ironed. (Fig. 5) The
water spray can be used with dry or
steam ironing as desired.
BURST OF STEAM
WARNING!
DO NOT aim iron at face,
towards yourself, or anyone else
while using or adjusting steam.
Burns or serious injuries may occur.
The burst-of-steam button is useful
when ironing denim, cotton, and linens.
It provides extra, sudden blasts of
steam which aid in removing stubborn
wrinkles.
The burst-of-steam feature can be used
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.
