on turning off your iron and storing it safely between use.
STORAGE STRIP
INDICATOR
The Storage Strip™ indicator is an easy way to see when
the iron is cool enough to store.
To use the Storage Strip™ Indicator:
Turn iron on. In approximately 3 minutes, the Storage
Strip™ indicator will turn from black to red, indicating
that the iron is too hot to store. When the iron is turned
off, it will take the iron approximately 55-65 minutes for
the Storage Strip™ indicator to turn from red to black, in-
dicating that the iron is cool enough to store.
CAUTION:
The Storage Strip™ indicator should only be
used as a guideline. The iron should always be handled
and stored with care.
CORD LOCK FEATURE
Cord Lock™ Feature locks in the left of right position to
keep the cord out of your way and off your clothes.
ANTI-CALCIUM SYSTEM
The Anti-Calcium System is a permanent system located
inside the water reservoir. This system removes calcium
from the water and reduces calcium build-up on the sole-
plate.
DRIP-FREE
Produces steam without any dripping, spitting, or leaking
through the soleplate, even at low temperatures.
EMPTY WATER MODE
When the water in the reservoir is low, the water-level sen-
sor will emit two short beeps then one longer beep. The
iron will automatically switch to Steam OFF mode, and
the Steam LED light will turn off.
1. To refill and reset the sensor, fill the water reservoir
with water, then press either the Turbo Steam™, Shot
of Steam
®
or Steam ON button to allow the sensor to
find the new water level and reset. Steam ironing can
then be resumed.
2. If steam ironing is attempted, but the water reservoir is
NOT refilled, the sensor will detect this and emit two
short beeps followed by one longer beep, and the iron
will switch again to Steam OFF mode until refilled.
NOTE:
If you do not refill and reset the sensor you may
experience excessive noise and vibration.
CARING FOR YOUR IRON AFTER USE
TURNING OFF YOUR IRON
1. Use Fabric Select buttons ( ) to scroll to Off position and
unplug iron.
WARNING: NEVER
yank the power cord when unplugging
the iron. This can damage the cord.
Storing Your Iron
1. Allow the iron to cool.
2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water
reservoir after each use for a longer iron life. To do so, unplug
the iron, turn the iron upside down, open the fill hole cover,
and allow water to flow from the fill hole. Shake the iron gen-
tly to remove trapped water drops.
3. Loosely loop the power cord around the heel rest and store
the iron on its heel rest.
IMPORTANT:
Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly
can damage the cord.
MAINTAINING YOUR TURBO STEAM
IRON
CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE
Clean the soleplate if starch or other residue accumulates.
To clean the Soleplate:
1. Unplug the iron. Allow the iron to cool and then wipe it
with a soft, damp cloth.
WARNING: DO NOT
use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or
vinegar to clean the soleplate. This will damage the finish.
2. Run the iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.
USING THE SELF-CLEAN FEATURE
You should use the Self-Clean feature once a month to maintain
the optimal performance of your iron.
To use the Self-Clean feature:
1. Fill the water reservoir with tap water to the MAX line.
2. Plug in the iron and press Fabric Select button to Linen. Allow
the iron to heat until the Wait/Ready Light turns GREEN.
3. Unplug the iron.
4. Hold the iron over a sink in a horizontal position.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch the iron’s hot surfaces.
5. Press the Self-Clean button and hold. Water will begin
dripping from the steam vents. Slowly rock the iron side to
side and front to back for 30 seconds. When rocking the
iron, dip the nose of the iron slightly below the rear of the
iron to make certain the water circulates completely.
6. Turn the iron upside down and allow the remaining water to
flow out of the fill hole.
7. Dry the soleplate with a towel.
8. Plug in the iron and press Fabric Select button to Linen. Let
the iron heat until the button turns GREEN and dry out the
iron completely.
9. Press the Fabric Select button to Off. The light will go out,
indicating that the iron has turned itself off. Unplug the iron
and allow it to cool.
CLEANING THE ANTI-CALCIUM SYSTEM
The Turbo Steam™ iron houses an Anti-Calcium filter in the
reservoir, which eliminates impurities from the water.
To prolong the efficiency of this filter:
1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool.
2. Locate the water cup that accompanied the iron and fill it
with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and fill the
water reservoir with this solution.
3. Leave the solution in the water reservoir for 15 minutes, then empty it.
4. Fill the water reservoir a second time with the salt water
solution and empty it again after 15 minutes.
5. Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse and empty.
The Anti-Calcium System should be cleaned approximately once
a month.
