SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
◆ This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
◆ If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13 ampere cord
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
◆ Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped over.
◆ This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

Using Your Iron
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 this, see
FLUSHING.
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 low temperature. If you should need
to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example
Linen to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower
temperature.
Tips: 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 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.

Using As A Dry Iron
The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the
tank, however it is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while
dry ironing.
1. Position temperature control dial to OFF.
2. Turn the variable steam dial to OFF.
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe
surface and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting.
5. When the ready light turns off, the iron has reached the desired
temperature.
6. When finished, turn temperature control dial to OFF and unplug.
Allow the iron to cool before cleaning the exterior or storing.
Note: During ironing, the ready light may turn on again which indicates
that the iron is heating up to maintain the proper temperature.
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO
NOT fill it with water.
Using As A Steam Iron
1. Position temperature control dial to OFF.
2. Position the variable steam dial to OFF.
3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water.
(See FILLING THE WATER TANK instructions.)
4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe
surface and plug in.

5. Turn the temperature control dial to desired setting.
6. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to reach the desired
temperature. (The ready light will turn off.)
7. Turn the variable steam dial clockwise to the desired amount of
steam. As soon as the iron is held horizontally, steam will flow
through the vents. If the iron does not steam, gently tap the
soleplate on the ironing surface. Placing the iron on its heel in
an upright position interrupts the flow of steam.
8. When finished, turn temperature control dial to OFF and
variable steam dial to OFF, and unplug. Allow to cool before
cleaning the exterior of the iron and storing.
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: Avoid coming in contact with escaping
steam.
Filling The Water Tank
1. Unplug the iron before filling.
2. Turn the variable steam dial to OFF.
3. Hold the iron in the horizontal position (see Figure 2).
4. Using a measuring cup, slowly pour water into the water fill
opening (see Figure 2).
5. Check see-through water tank to see if iron is filled to maximum
fill line (see Figure 3). Note: Your iron is designed to use tap water. DO
NOT use water from home water softening systems because such water may
contain minerals that may harm the iron.
5.
Emptying The Water Tank
The water tank should be emptied after each use. To do so:
1. 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. Note: If you empty the water tank 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. Turn temperature control dial to OFF
and variable steam dial to OFF, and unplug. Let iron cool before storing it.
Flushing
Flushing the iron is advised after every 5 usages to prevent harmful
mineral build-up that can clog the iron and prevent it from heating
and steaming properly. To flush the iron:
1. Position temperature control dial to OFF.
2. Turn variable steam dial to OFF.
3. Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum fill line.
4. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control dial to Linen. Let
it heat for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the variable steam dial clockwise to the MAX setting.
6. Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.
7. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing steam
to flow through the vents until the water tank is emptied.
8. Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate.
9. When finished, turn temperature control dial to OFF and variable
steam dial to OFF and unplug. Allow iron to cool before cleaning
the exterior of the iron or storing. Use a cloth to wipe off exterior
of iron before storing.

6.
Storing The Iron
Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than
pulling the cord, and allow iron to cool. EMPTY the water tank after
each use, then wrap the cord around the cooled iron. Allow the iron
to COOL COMPLETELY before putting it away. To protect the
soleplate, place the iron in an upright position on its heel.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to a qualified
appliance repair techinician if servicing is needed.
Care And Cleaning
CAUTION: Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before
cleaning the exterior of the iron and storing. Never immerse an
appliance in water.
To protect the soleplate from scratching, avoid ironing over snaps,
zippers, metal buttons, etc. Also, do not place the iron on metal or
rough surfaces. If starch or other residues cling to the soleplate, use
hot iron cleaner according to directions. Hot Iron Cleaner is available
at mass merchandise, discount or hardware stores.
A “home remedy” for cleaning starch or other material buildup on
the soleplate is as follows:
1. Unplug the iron and allow to cool completely.
2. Mix together 4 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon water.
3. Apply mixture to the soleplate with a soft cloth.
4. Clean mixture off with a water dampened clean cloth, dry
thoroughly. Note: DO NOT put any chemical cleaning agents or solvents
in the water tank.
