OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)

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.

DRY IRONING

All marked settings on the temperature dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide the variable steam control lever all the down as shown in Figure 1. This will cut off the steam flow if water is in the tank.

For Dry Ironing:

Figure 1

1.Turn temperature dial to “0” and slide the variable steam control lever all the way down.

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

3.Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. (See “Ironing Guide” for a guide to temperature selection.)

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

STEAM IRONING

WARNING! 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.

WARNING! 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.

CAUTION: 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.Turn temperature dial to “MIN” and slide lever all the way to the left.

2.Holding the iron at a slight angle, pour water slowly into the water filling inlet. See figure 2. Fill tank to desired level or to the “MAX” water level marking using the water filling flask. (When the iron is upright, the blue, see-through water tank allows you to gauge the amount of water.) DO NOT overfill the tank.

Figure 2

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

4.Turn the temperature dial to any of the temperatures within the gray steam band and allow the iron to heat for approximately 2 minutes before ironing. Place iron on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) while the iron is warming to desired temperature.

5.Slide the steam lever up to increase the amount of steam. When using extra steam, the iron uses more water and it may be necessary to fill the tank more often. See Figure 3.

For Steam Ironing:

6.Steam is produced as soon as the 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 turning the steam control dial to “0”.

BURST OF STEAM

WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury 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.

1.Make sure the water tank is at least 1/2 filled with water.

2.Set the temperature dial. Place the iron on the stand (on a stable, protected surface) and allow it to heat for approximately 2 minutes.

3.With the iron in a horizontal position, press the burst of steam button several times to prime the pump. See Figure 4.

Figure 4

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. See Figure 5. The water spray can be used with dry or steam ironing as desired.
