Filling with Water
EMPTYING, CLEANING & STORING THE IRON
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.
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.
Always empty and clean your iron after each use and before storing.
1. Turn the temperature control dial to the “Off” position
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Empty the iron of all remaining water in the water reservoir.
4. Allow the iron to cool down before cleaning.
5. When the iron has cooled down completely, scale and other residue
can be wiped off the soleplate with a damp cloth.
6. Store iron in the upright position.
CAUTION:Never fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starches or any
other liquid, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do
not use contaminated water.
WARNING! Use caution when emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces, hot water or steam.
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.
1. Disconnect the iron from the power supply.
2. Open the water inlet cover.
3. Using the measuring beaker provided and holding the iron at a slight
angle, pour water slowly into the water filling inlet. See illustration below.
DO NOT overfill the tank.
4. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V AC electrical outlet.
5. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature setting 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. The thermostat light will come on. When the iron
has reached the desired temperature , the thermostat light will go “Off”.
