GETTING TO KNOW  YOUR  IRON

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Before using your 1600 Watt 

Professional Steam Iron, remove any 

labels, stickers or tags that may be 

attached to the body or soleplate of the 

iron.

When turned on for the first time, your 

new iron may emit an odor for up to 10 

minutes.  This is due to the initial 

heating of the materials used in making 

the iron. 

1.  Power Supply Cord
2. Auto Shut-Off Light
3. Temperature Ready Light
4. Variable Steam Control
5. Burst of Steam
6. Spray Button
7. Water Filling Inlet Cover

8.

Spray Nozzle

9.

Temperature Control Dial

10. Water Level Window
11. Stainless Steel Soleplate
12. Water Flask
13. Iron Heel Rest

The odor is safe and should not reoccur 

after initial heating.

Also, before ironing with steam for the 

first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a 

horizontal position and hit the burst of 

steam button several times.  The iron 

may emit some small particles from the 

steam holes. This is normal and will 

clear after pressing the burst of steam 

button several times.

In order to remove calcium and built-up 

particles, the self-cleaning system should be 

run at least once a month.

• Fill the water beaker provided halfway

and then pour into the water reservoir.

• Set the variable steam control to the no 

steam position.

• Insert the main plug into the wall socket.

• Set the temperature control dial to the 

maximum temperature.

• Wait until the thermostat light goes off and 

steam iron has reached preset 

temperature.

• Remove the plug from the wall socket.

• Hold the steam iron horizontally over a 

sink.

• Turn the variable steam control to 

“Self-Clean        ” position.  Hot water and 
steam will be emitted from the soleplate.  
Swing the steam iron lightly back and forth 
gently to allow lime and dust particles to 
come out.    

• When the water reservoir is empty, shift 

the variable steam control from “Self-

Clean” position to “0”.

• Stand the iron upright and insert the plug 

into the wall socket to let the iron heat up 

again.

• Move the iron over a clean cotton cloth to 

clean the soleplate and let the remaining 

water on the soleplate evaporate.

EMPTYING THE IRON

ANTI-DRIP FEATURE

1.  Always empty iron after each use.

2. When finished using the iron, turn 

the variable steam control to“0” and 

the temperature control dial to "MIN".

3. Unplug the iron from the electrical 

outlet.

4.  Set variable steam control to "MAX".

5. Turn the iron upside down over the 

sink with the tip pointing downward 

and allow the water to flow from the 

opening. 

6.  Set variable steam control to "0".

7.  Allow iron to cool in an upright 

position before storing.

Built-in Anti-Drip feature helps reduce 

water spots by cutting of water flow 

when the iron temperature is too low to 

build sufficient steam. The anti drip 

function reduces water dripping and 

water stains. It does not prevent water 

dripping and water stains if you press 

the steam burst button too often or if the 

temperature is too low. The amount of 

water droplets will eventually decrease 

after the iron is used for 2 to 3 tankfuls 

of steaming and ironing.

STORAGE

1.  Always turn the variable steam 

control to “0” after you have 

emptied the water tank.

2.  Allow the iron to cool down.

3.  Always store the iron in the upright 

position to protect the soleplate.

4.  From time to time, clean the exterior 

of the iron with a damp cloth and 

wipe dry.

5.  If you use spray starch, wipe the 

soleplate occasionally with a soft 

damp cloth to prevent the build-up of 

deposits.

6.  If the iron has not been used for a 

few weeks, hold the iron horizontally 

and allow to steam for 2 minutes 

before ironing.

WARNING!

Use caution when 

emptying the iron. Burns may 

occur from touching hot metal 

surfaces, hot water or steam.

SELF-CLEANING

WARNING:

The anti-drip 

function reduces water 

dripping and water stains.  It 

does  not prevent water 

dripping or water stains if you 

press the steam burst button 

too often or if temperature is 

too low.  The amount of water 

droplets will eventually 

decrease after iron is used for 

2 to 3 tankfuls of steaming 

and ironing.
