BEFORE THE FIRST USE
• When turned on for the first time, your new iron may give off a slight odor for up to ten
minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the
performance of the product, and will not recur.
• Prior to first use, clean steam vents using the SHOT OF STEAM‚ feature. After cleaning vents,
run iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.
• When not ironing, always have steam dial turned to DRY (See Diagram).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Dry Ironing
• Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. On units with
automatic shut off, the auto off light will illuminate.
• Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting (refer to
Ironing Guide for recommended settings). While iron is
heating, place iron on heel rest on a stable, protected surface.
• Set the steam dial on DRY to prevent steam flow if water is in the tank.
Steam Ironing
• Make sure the plug is removed from the wall socket before filling the iron with water.
• Turn the the steam dial to DRY.
• Place the iron on its heel and open the water reservoir cover. Pour water slowly into the water
reservoir. Fill up to the maximum water level. To prevent the risk of burns, use caution
when filling a hot iron with water. Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Push firmly to close the cover. NOTE: Tap water may be used
due to the special design of this iron. However, in areas with very hard water, distilled or
demineralized water is recommended.
• Turn the temperature dial to any of the temperatures within the steam band and allow the iron
to heat for approximately 2 minutes before ironing. While heating, place iron on heel rest on
a stable, protected surface.
• Turn steam dial to for regular steam, or to for extra steam or
for ultra steam. NOTE: When using extra or ultra steam, it may be necessary to fill the tank
more often.
