SPECIAL FEATURES
Automatic Shutoff in 3 Positions
• Your iron will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity
if left on its soleplate or on its side. If left vertically on its heel rest,
it will turn off after 8 minutes (D).
• The unit beeps six times and the LED indicator light blinks to let
you know the iron has shut off.
• Once you pick up the iron, an internal motion-sensitive detector is activated and the iron
starts heating again. You might have to move the iron or shake it gently until the LED
indicator light stops blinking.
Note: Wait for iron to reheat completely before resuming operation.
Anti-Drip System
The anti-drip system prevents water spotting at low temperatures.
IRONING WITH STEAM
Smart Steam™ Technology
The Smart Steam™ system automatically generates the right amount of steam for the fabric
type selected at high temperature settings. Once you select the temperature, the Smart
Steam™ technology detects the set temperature and adjusts the steam power accordingly.
Note: At high temperature settings, it is not necessary to hold the steam button for steam ironing.
Using steam button will provide an extra powerful burst of steam to help remove tough wrinkles.
Surge of Steam
Use to remove stubborn creases.
1. With the water tank filled to the MAX mark, set fabric selection
dial to appropriate fabric setting. Read garment's label to help you
determine fabric type.
Note: Steam is automatically turned off at Synthetic, Silk and Rayon
settings (E).
2. Select the desired fabric setting. The LED indicator light next to the fabric
type you selected blinks until it reaches the appropriate temperature.
3. Press the surge-of-steam button to generate a burst of steam
(F). For best performance, leave an interval of 5 seconds between
bursts.
Important: Always stand the iron on its heel rest when powered on
but not in use.

1. Be sure the water tank is filled to the MAX mark.
2. Hang the garment to be steamed on a clothes hanger. (Curtains or drapes can be steamed

indicator light next to the fabric type you selected blinks until it
reaches the appropriate temperature.

button as you move the iron over the fabric (G).
