BEFORE FIRST TIME USE

1 Before using your iron for the ﬁrst time, please remove all the packaging material.

2 When you turn on the iron for the ﬁrst time it might emit an odor for the ﬁrst ten

minutes. This is because the materials used in making the iron are heating up. The

odor is safe and should not re-occur after the initial heating.

USING YOUR IRON

3 Fill water carefully into the water tank without going over “Max” line. Make sure the

Water Inlet Door is closed to avoid spilling while in use.

4 Plug in the iron into any 120V AC polarized

electrical outlet. The LED Indicator Light

on the handle will light up.

5 Set the desired fabric/temperature by turning

the Fabric/Temperature Selector Dial.

6 The LED Indicator Light on the handle will become green once the selected

temperature is reached. If you wish to change the temperature, the LED Indicator

Light will change to amber to show that the iron is either heating up or cooling down.

The LED Indicator Light will turn green again when the iron reaches the selected

temperature.

7 Turn the Variable Steam Control Lever to select high or low steam setting.

Select “ ” on the steam control for dry ironing. You can now start ironing.

8 Use the Steam Burst Button to remove stubborn wrinkles. Allow an interval of 3

seconds between each burst. Overuse of the steam burst may cause water spitting or

weak steam performance.

9 The Steam Burst feature also works in the vertical position. This is especially useful to

remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, delicate garments and other fabrics. Hold the

iron in the upright position several inches away from the article.

10 Use the Spray Button to dampen the fabric to tackle tough wrinkles, if necessary.

ANTI-DRIP FEATURE

11 The anti-drip feature is built in to this iron. It prevents water spitting when the

temperature is too low.

12 Steam cannot be produced if the soleplate is not hot enough. It may result in water

spitting or leaking from the soleplate. The anti-drip feature reduces water dripping and

leaking when ironing at low temperatures.

ELECTRONIC MULTI POSITION AUTO-OFF

13 This iron is equipped with an electronic auto-off feature that switches the iron off if

it has been idle for 15 minutes in the upright position and after 30 seconds in the

sideways or ﬂat positions.

14 The Indicator Light will ﬂash in red on the handle when the iron is in auto-off mode. To

turn the iron back on, just gently rock the iron back and forth several times until the

LED Indicator Light is re-illuminated. The iron might have to warm up for a minute if the

auto-off feature was activated for an extended time.

SELF-CLEANING

15 Fill the water tank to the “MAX” level. Do not overﬁll.

16 Stand the iron on its heel, standing up on a protected surface and plug into the

electrical outlet.

17 Set the Fabric/Temperature Selector Dial to “•••” setting. Wait until the light stops

ﬂashing. The iron is now on the preset temperature.

18 Hold the iron horizontally over the sink. Turn and hold the Steam Control Lever all the

way to the right to the SELF CLEAN position.

19 Move the iron back and forth. Boiling water and steam will now be ejected from the

holes in the soleplate. Use caution when doing this as the water and the steam are hot

enough to cause burns.

20 Repeat step 19 until the impurities and scale are washed away.

21 Empty any excess water from the tank. Don’t touch the hot surfaces, water, or steam

because injury may occur.

22 Turn the steam control to “ ”.

23 Place the iron in upright position and let it cool down.

USEFUL TIPS

24 Read all garment care labels before you start ironing. You can also test the

temperature of the iron on a hem or an inside seam.

25 Iron similar fabrics together and in sequence of synthetic ﬁbers nylon, silk/wool,

polyester, and cotton/linen. This will reduce the need to adjust the temperature

frequently.

FEATURES

STORAGE AND CARE

26 Always turn the Variable Steam Control Lever to “ ” after you have emptied the

water tank.

27 Allow the iron to cool down before putting it away.

28 Place the iron in the upright position resting on its heel, during heating up, cooling

down and storage.

29 Avoid any sharp material contacting the soleplate.

30 Every two weeks, clean the exterior of the iron with a damp cloth and wipe dry.

31 If you use spray starch, wipe the soleplate occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to

prevent deposit build-up.

32 If the iron hasn’t been used in a few weeks, hold the iron horizontally and allow

steaming for 2 minutes before ironing.

ALWAYS REMEMBER

33 Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before pouring water into the iron.

34 Always empty the water in the iron after each use.

35 Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.

36 Be very careful when ﬁlling the iron with water. Injuries may occur if the hot metal

parts, hot water or steam are contacted.
