OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn temperature dial to "MIN" and
slide the variable steam control lever
all the way down to "0".
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.
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".
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.
1. Turn temperature dial to "••" or "•••"
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,
see-through water tank allows you to
gauge the amount of water.) DO
NOT overfill the tank.

BEFORE FIRST USE

BLAST OF STEAM

Remove any labels, stickers or tags
which may be attached to the body or
the soleplate of the iron before using
the iron.
WARNING! DO NOT aim iron
at face, towards yourself, or
anyone else while using or
adjusting steam. Burns or
serious injury may occur.
Before you start using your iron, read all
the instructions in the manual and do
the following in order to eliminate any
odor and small white residue particles
and to ensure optimum steam
performance.
1. Fill the iron with regular tap water.
(See page 6 for filling instructions.)
2. Set the temperature control dial to its
highest setting and the variable
steam control to “0”.
3. When the temperature ready light
goes off, the iron has reached the
selected temperature. Set the
variable steam control to the highest
setting.
4. Keep the iron in a horizontal position
and allow it to steam until the water
runs out. Press the blast of steam
button to eliminate white residue
particles.
5. Repeat this procedure for two or
three fillings of water.
The blast-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 blast-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 its heel (on a stable,
protected surface) and allow it to
heat for approximately 2 minutes.
3. With the iron in a horizontal position,
press the blast of steam button
several times to prime the pump.
See Figure 4.

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.
3. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V
AC electrical outlet.
4. Turn the temperature dial to any of
the temperatures within the red
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. (See figure 3)
When using extra steam, the iron
uses more water and it may be
necessary to fill the tank more often.
See page 6 for refilling the iron with
water.
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.

DRY IRONING

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

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.
