TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
• Always read the garment labels and
follow the manufacturer’s directions
when pressing a garment.
• For maximum efficiency, iron
garments requiring lowest
temperature setting first as the iron
heats up faster than it cools down.
• If there are no instructions included
with the garment, we suggest that
you follow the temperature guide on
page 6 as a guide (except when any
fabric has an applied finish, gloss,
etc. where lower temperatures might
be required.
• Always iron fabric blends, (fabrics
made of two or more types of fibers)
using the heat setting appropriate for
the fabric requiring the lowest
temperature setting.
NOTE: For best results, make sure that
the steam generator is filled to the
maximum level before every use.

IRONING TEMPERATURE GUIDE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any labels, stickers or tags
which may be attached to the body or
the soleplate of the iron before using
the steam generator.
WARNING! Never leave the
unit unattended while plugged
in. Always turn the steam
generator “OFF” and remove
the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
USING THE IRON WITH STEAM
1. Place the steam generator on a flat
stable surface.
2. Fill the steam generator with water.
3. Plug the power cord into an electrical
outlet.
4. Press the On/Off button to the “ON”
position. The steam ready light will
light up when the steam is ready.
It will take approximately 11-13
minutes to heat up a full tank of
water. The steam ready light will
go on and off while the steam
generator is in use.
5. Turn the temperature control dial to
the desired temperature setting
designated for use with steam, i.e.
between the two “••” and the three
“•••” dots on the temperature control
dial. The temperature ready light will
light up. The iron will have reached
the desired temperature setting
when the temperature ready light will
go off.
6. Press the steam button on the
handle of the iron to release the
steam.
Note: Trying to use steam before the
steam ready light has come on can
cause water drops to come out of
the iron instead of steam.
WARNING! The steam
generator must always be
turned “OFF” and
disconnected from the
electrical outlet before any
cleaning or maintenance;
before filling and emptying the
water tank.
FILLING STEAM
GENERATOR WATER TANK
1. Place steam generator unit on
a solid flat surface.
2. Unscrew the boiler filler cap.
3. When filling the steam
generator water tank, always
use a measuring cup to fill
your unit. NEVER fill the
appliance under a tap. Fill the
water tank with 26 US. fl. oz.
of tap water if the water in
your area is not hard water. If
it is, then we strongly
recommend using 100%
demineralized/distilled water.
Be careful not to over fill the
water tank. Adding too much
water will cause overfilling
and will result in water drops
on the steam.
4. When finished filling, replace
the boiler filling cap and screw
on tightly.
5. Plug the power cord into an
electrical outlet.

WARNING! Never direct the
steam from the iron at yourself
or another person. Special care
must be taken when the iron is
used in a vertical position. The
steam is very hot and can
cause burns.
