3-Way automatic shut-off (depending on model)

The iron is equipped with an electronic system that will automatically cut the power source to your iron if it is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, on its soleplate for more than 30 seconds or on its side for more than 30 seconds.

The auto-off warning light (fig.11) will flash when the iron is in the shut off mode.

•To restart the iron, gently shake the iron until the warning light stops flashing.

When the auto-off light is warning, it is normal for the temperature light to remain off.

Storing your iron

•Set the steam control lever to and unplug the iron.

•Let the soleplate cool completely and empty the water tank. A small amount of water may remain in the water tank.

•Wrap the cord around the heel of the iron and store the iron on its heel (fig.12).

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve

It is recommended that you clean the anti-scale valve once a month to remove scale build up on the valve.

Clean the anti-scale valve as noted below:

•Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.

•Turn the Anti-Scale valve (fig.13) to remove it.

•Soak the valve in white vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours.

•Rinse the valve under running water and put the anti-scale valve back.

Unplug your iron and let it cool completely before cleaning it. The iron will not function without the anti-scale valve. Never touch the end of the valve !

Cleaning the iron

It is recommended that you clean the iron once a month to slow down scale build up and prolong the life of the iron.

Clean your iron as noted below:

• Unplug the iron, set the steam control lever to and fill the water EN tank to MAX.

•Place the iron on its heel, set the temperature dial to MAX, plug in the iron and wait for the indicator light to go out.

•Unplug the iron and place it horizontally over a sink.

•Remove the anti-scale valve (fig.13).

•Gently shake the iron over the sink until all of the water (along with impurities) runs out through the soleplate.

•At the end of the operation, put the anti-scale valve back into the iron and allow it to heat for 2 minutes on its heel to dry the soleplate.
