OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AUTO SHUT-OFF

The Professional Lightweight Iron is equipped with an electronic auto-off. The electronic auto-off switches the iron off if it has been left standing unmoved in any position (sideways, flat or upright) for approximately 7-9 minutes. A red light on the LED display panel will flash when the iron switches itself off. (Fig. 6) To switch the iron back on, just shake the iron side-to- side several times until the “Power ON” light is re-illuminated. Then re-set the temperature to the desired setting. Note: The iron may require additional warm-up time if the auto-off feature was activated for an extended period.

EMPTYING THE IRON

1.Always empty iron after each use.

2.When finished using the iron, turn the variable steam control to “0” and press the electronic temperature control button until the power light is lit.

3.Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.

4.Turn the iron upside down over the sink with the tip pointing downward and allow the water to flow from the opening.

5.Place iron upright and allow to cool before storing.

CAUTION: Use caution when emptying the iron. Burns may occur from touching hot metal surfaces, hot water or steam.

SELF CLEANING

It is important to “Self Clean” the iron at least every two weeks to remove scale, calcium, etc. The harder the water, the more often the iron should be self cleaned.

1.Set the variable steam control to any steam position.

2.Fill the water tank up to the “MAX” level.

3.Stand the iron on its heel. Plug the iron into the electrical outlet.

4.Press the electronic temperature control button until you get the “MAX” temperature setting on the display panel and wait until the iron heats up and temperature setting light stops flashing.

5.Turn the variable steam control all the way to the right to the self- cleaning position and hold the iron horizontally over the sink. (Fig. 7)

6.Boiling water and steam will now be ejected from the holes in the soleplate. The impurities and scale are washed away with it.

7.Move the iron back and forth as this happens.

8.If there is any water left in the water tank after the iron stops steaming, just empty the remaining water in a sink following the instructions for emptying the iron.

9.Turn the variable steam control to the “0” position when the water tank is empty.

10.Place the iron back upright on its heel to cool down before storing.

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.

NOTE: 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.
