9. When changing from a higher temperature setting to a lower temperature setting,
the Water Tank will cycle down through the colors until the Iron has cooled to the
proper ironing temperature. When this occurs, the color of the Water Tank will
correspond with the new temperature setting, indicating that the Iron is ready
for use.
NOTE: To quickly drop the temperature of the Iron, press the Blast of Steam Button.
10. When finished ironing, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the “min” position; turn
the Steam Control Dial to the “X” (no steam) position, and unplug the Iron. If
necessary, empty the Water Tank (see USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS). Stand
the Iron back in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest) and allow it to cool
completely before cleaning or storing.
NOTE: The Water Tank should be emptied after each use.
Blast of Steam
The Blast of Steam Button releases a penetrating blast of steam to smooth out difficult
wrinkles and to iron faster.
1. When using the Blast of Steam feature, the Temperature Control Dial must be
positioned to at least the “ ” symbol -- located midway between the GREEN (• •)
and LILAC (• • •) settings. For best results, use the “max” (RED) temperature setting
and keep the Water Tank at least half full.
2. Firmly press the Blast of Steam Button once, then release
(see FIGURE 7). It may be necessary to press the Blast of
Steam Button 2 -3 times successively to release the initial
burst. DO NOT HOLD THE BLAST OF STEAM BUTTON DOWN.
CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH
ESCAPING STEAM.
3. As the Blast of Steam Button is pressed and steam is
released, the temperature of the Iron drops; thus the Water
Tank color may cycle down momentarily. Allow at least
4 seconds between Blasts of Steam to allow the Iron to regain heat.
NOTE: The red Thermostat Light will continue to cycle off and on during use as the
Iron maintains the desired temperature.

Technology:
As the temperature changes…
So does the color!
This Iron features a lighted Water Tank that glows in different colors to let you know
when the desired temperature has been reached. When the Iron is heating up or the
temperature setting has been adjusted, the Water Tank will cycle through the colors,
indicating changes in actual ironing temperature.
When the Iron is first plugged in, the Water Tank glows blue, the lowest heat setting.
The color-coded Temperature Control Dial shows the progression in color as the Iron
heats from blue to green, then to lilac, and finally to red -- the maximum heat setting.
Ironing Tips
• For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam setting
recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
• If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low setting and test the
Iron on an area of the garment that does not show, such as a seam. Gradually
increase the heat setting until wrinkles remove without damaging the fabric.
• To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the steaming Iron
horizontally 2 inches (5 cm) above the fabric for a gentle steaming. Make sure the
Iron does not come in contact with the fabric.
• To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate or rayon
inside out.
• For quick and easy reference, a condensed fabric guide is imprinted on the Heel Rest
of the Iron (see illustration below).
