A WORD ON WATER
This iron is specially designed to use tap water. In areas of the country where the water is
very hard, distilled water is recommended for your iron. If you use distilled water in your
iron, you should periodically use a tank of tap water to keep your iron properly conditioned.
DO NOT use water passed through home water softening systems because such water
contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron.
USING AS A DRY IRON
The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the tank. Avoid having the
tank too full of water while dry ironing.
• Slide the temperature control to MIN before plugging the cord into a 120 volt, AC
electrical outlet.
• Slide top button to the no-steam position and move the temperature control to the
appropriate fabric setting.
• If you are starting with a cool iron, let iron heat in the upright position on the heel rest.
If the iron is already hot, be sure to cool or heat the iron to a suitable temperature for
the fabric you are about to iron. Try it on an area of the garment where it will not show,
such as a seam or facing.
USING AS A STEAM IRON
When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting is within the STEAM range
on the temperature selector to avoid water spotting the garment.
• Slide the temperature control to MIN. Slide top button to the steam position. Fill the
iron with water. (See TO FILL THE WATER TANK instructions).
• Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet.
• Move the temperature control to the appropriate fabric setting. Allow 2 minutes for the
iron to reach the desired temperature.
• After iron has reached desired temperature, remove from the heel rest and use. If the
unit fails to steam after depressing the steam slide button, gently tap the soleplate on
the ironing surface. This will aid in starting the steaming action.
• When steam ironing, if the temperature control setting is accidentally lowered, water
may appear on the soleplate, indicating that iron temperature has dropped below
steaming level. If this should occur, reset temperature control to desired level. Rest the
iron on its heel rest for 1 minute to allow it to reach temperature. If your iron starts
losing its flow of steam and you wish to continue steam ironing, you may refill without
cooling the iron. Unplug the iron. Follow the TO FILL THE WATER TANK instructions.
Add water only to the maximum fill line to prevent overflow.
