How to Use

This appliance is intended for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.

Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening system.

Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before beginning to iron.

FILLING WATER TANK

1.With iron on flat surface with soleplate down, open water-fill cover (A).

	2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water
	into opened chamber until water reaches the MAX level
A	mark on the side of the water tank. Do not overfill.

3.Close the water-fill cover.

4.Plug in the iron. The on indicator light illuminates. Once the iron reaches the selected temperature, the light goes off. The light will then cycle on and off during ironing.

Note: If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron and follow above steps.

Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside seam or hem) before ironing.

SMART STEAM® TECHNOLOGY

The Smart Steam® system automatically produces steam when you turn the fabric- select dial between settings 4 and 6. The higher the setting, the more powerful the steam.

SURGE OF STEAM

Use to remove stubborn creases.

1. With the water tank filled to the MAX mark, set fabric-select dial to appropriate setting (between 4 and 6) for your fabric. See fabric guide under the heel rest and read garment's label to help you determine fabric type (B).

B	2. Be sure there is water in the reservoir. Steam is automatically
		turned off between settings 0 and 3.
	3.	For best performance, use surge of steam at 5-second
		intervals (C).
	4.	When finished ironing, turn the fabric-select dial to 0 and
		unplug the iron.
	Important: Always stand the iron on its heel rest when
C	powered on but not in use.
