Auto SHUT-OFF, Emptying the Iron, Self Cleaning

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AUTO SHUT-OFF

The PowerPro Iron is equipped with an auto shut-off. The auto shut-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.

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.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY and may be plugged into any 120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do not use any other type of outlet.

FABRIC & TEMPERATURE INDICATORS

Press on the Electronic Temperature Control to select the desired fabric setting. The red lights at the left of the LED Display Panel will light up.

At the same time, the temperature indicator lights on the right side of the LED Display Panel will start to flash. They will stop flashing when the iron reaches the selected temperature.

DRY IRONING

For dry ironing, turn the variable steam control dial all the way to the right to “0”. This will cut off the steam flow if water is in the water tank. All marked fabric settings on the LED Display Panel can be used for dry ironing.

1.Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V AC electrical outlet. The power “ON” light will come on, indicating that the iron is receiving power.

2.Press on the electronic temperature control button to select the desired fabric/temperature setting. Turn the variable steam control to “0”.

(See “Ironing Guide” for a guide to temperature selection.)

3.Place iron on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) while iron is warming to desired temperature.

STEAM IRONING

CAUTION DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or

anyone else while using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur.

WARNING Before filling the iron with water, be sure the iron is not plugged into the electrical outlet. The

iron may be filled with water while it is hot.

CAUTION TO PREVENT THE RISK OF BURNS, use caution when filling iron with water. Burns can occur from touching hot metal

parts, hot water, or steam.

NOTE: Because of the soleplate design, ordinary tap water may be used with this iron. However, in very hard water areas, we recommend using distilled or demineralized water.

WARNING: Never fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starches

or any other liquid, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water.

1.Open the water filling inlet cover. Holding the iron at a slight angle, pour water slowly into the water filling inlet. See figure 1. Fill tank to desired level or to the “MAX” water level marking using the water filling flask. (When the iron is upright, the see-through water tank allows you to gauge the amount of water.) DO NOT overfill the tank. When finished filling the iron with water, close the water inlet cover before continuing.

2.Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V AC electrical outlet.

3.Press on the electronic temperature control button to select the desired fabric and temperature setting. Turn the variable steam control dial to the desired steam setting. (See “Ironing Guide” for a guide to temperature selection.)
