USING YOUR IRON FOR THE FIRST TIME  
1. Remove any protective coverings from the soleplate and the body of  
the iron.  
2. Unwind and straighten the power cord.  
NOTE: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the  
soleplate steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric  
from residue possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process.  
To do that, see SELF CLEANING/ FLUSHING.  
3. Fill the reservoir with tap water or distilled water. Do not use  
chemically descaled water or any other liquids for refilling, see  
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR.  
4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on a heat resistant  
surface and plug into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.

7. Turn the variable steam dial 90° counter-clockwise to  
maximum  
steam position. Steam will begin to come through the vents of the  
soleplate.  
For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam setting  
recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or consult the enclosed garment  
care tips pamphlet for additional information.  
To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to first iron  
garments that require a low temperature. If you should need to switch from  
a high setting to a lower temperature, for example  
allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower temperature.

Tips: If you are unsure of a garments 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. Sort out the garments to be ironed according to the  
type of fabric. This will minimize the frequency of temperature adjustment  
for different garments.  
To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate or rayon  
inside out.  
USING AS A DRY IRON  
The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the  
reservoir. However, it is best to avoid having the reservoir too full of water  
while dry ironing.  
1. Position temperature dial to MIN, lowest setting.  
2. Turn the variable steam dial to O for no steam.  
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on a heat resistant  
surface and plug into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.  
4. Turn the temperature dial clockwise to the desired setting.  
5. When the ready light goes off, the iron has reached the desired  
temperature.  
6. When finished, turn temperature dial to MIN, lowest setting and  
unplug. Allow the iron to cool before cleaning the exterior or storing.  
NOTE: During ironing, the ready light may cycle on again which indicates  
the iron is heating to maintain the proper temperature.  
CAUTION: If the iron is hot, DO NOT fill it with water.  
USING AS A STEAM IRON  
When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting on the  
temperature dial is on the maximum steam setting

position  
7. When finished, turn temperature dial to MIN, turn variable steam dial  
to O and unplug iron. Allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior  
of the iron or storing.  
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.  
BURST OF STEAM  
For a penetrating burst of steam to iron faster and to smooth difficult  
wrinkles, firmly depress the burst of steam button. Between the individual  
bursts of steam, pause for at least 3 seconds to let the iron reheat for  
maximum additional steam.  
SPRAY  
For a mist of water to moisten dry and difficult fabrics such as linen,  
cotton or wool, or to handle stubborn wrinkles, press the spray button. The  
spray function is also handy to moisten creases accidentally ironed into the  
fabric. The spray function can be used on any setting and does not affect  
the ironing temperature.  
NOTE: You may have to pump the spray button several times the first time  
you use the iron in order to start the spraying action.  
USING THE VERTICAL STEAM FUNCTION  
The vertical steam features allows you to eliminate wrinkles from drapes  
without having to take them off the rod or to freshen the appearance of  
clothing while on the hanger.  
1. Unplug the iron from the outlet.  
2. Fill the reservoir with water, see FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR.  
3. Position temperature control dial to MAX setting.  
4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe  
surface and plug into 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.  
5. Allow approximately 1 minute for the iron to reach the desired  
temperature. The ready light will turn off.  
6. Hold the iron 7-15 inches away from the garment and press the burst  
of steam button once.  
7. Wait a few seconds before pressing the burst of steam button again.  
The ready light will cycle on and then off during this process. Do not  
press the burst of steam button more than three times successively  
when ready light is ON. For best results, keep reservoir at least half  
full.

deposits.  
3. Never use any sharp or rough objects to remove the deposits from the  
Steam Valve.  
4. Rinse the steam valve with tap water.  
5. Replace the variable steam dial in the descaling position and gently  
press down until in position.  
6. Turn the variable steam dial to ‘O’ position.  
DO NOT pour any chemicals into the water reservoir as they can damage  
the iron.  
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

the water fill. Do not fill past the maximum line on the water reservoir.  
6. Close the water fill cover.  
EMPTYING THE WATER RESERVOIR  
NOTE: The water tank should be emptied after each use.  
1. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, turn the variable  
steam dial to ‘O’ position and unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.  
2. While the iron is still warm, hold the iron over a sink and allow the  
iron to drain by tipping the point of the iron down.  
3. Gently shake the iron to loosen any water drops that may be trapped.  
The warmth of the iron should dry out any remaining water.  
4. Press the burst of steam and spray buttons to release any water  
remaining.  
NOTE: If you empty the water reservoir after the iron has cooled, set the  
iron in an upright position on its heel, plug it in and set the temperature dial  
to maximum heat for 2 minutes. Then unplug the iron and let it cool before  
storing it.
