4. Place the iron on the heel rest. Let the iron heat for a few minutes before
setting the steam level.
5. Set the steam level: Move the steam control dial to the desired steam
output level. If dry ironing is desired (always select dry setting for silks/syn-
thetics), move the dial to the dry position mark until you hear a “click”
sound.
6. Begin ironing.
7. Spray: Press the spray button a couple of times to moisten hard-to-iron
fabrics. A fine mist will come out of the sprayer at the front of the iron.
Before spraying, make sure there is enough water in the water tank.
8. Shot of Steam: A powerful shot of steam helps remove stubborn wrinkles
or creases. Push down on the shot of steam button to activate. The shot-
of-steam function can only be used at the “Linen/Max” temperature setting.
9. Anti-Drip: This iron features an “Anti-Drip” steam shut-off function. The
iron automatically stops steaming at low temperatures to prevent water from
dripping out of the soleplate openings.
Ironing Tips:
• For silk, wool, and synthetic materials, iron on the reverse side of the fabric to
prevent shiny spots.
• Velvet and other textured fabrics such as corduroy that rapidly acquire shine,
crush or matte, should be ironed in one direction only (with the nap) applying
light pressure as you move the iron, Always keep the iron moving to prevent
crushing and permanent marks.
• Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam
position. When steam-ironing wool fabrics, shining can readily occur.
Preferably, set the steam control to the maximum position and use a dry
pressing cloth over the wool fabric. It is best to press on the reverse side if
possible.
• For blended fabrics that contain various kinds of fibers, use the lowest
temperature setting that applies to the most delicate fiber.
• To prevent staining, avoid using the spray function on silk or other delicate
fabrics.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing articles
that require the lowest temperature setting, finishing with fabrics requiring higher
settings.
• Do not let the soleplate rub against any metal materials.
• Check to see if there is a label with ironing instructions attached to the article to
be ironed. Follow these specific ironing instructions.
