IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using the iron. 2. Use iron only for its intended use. 3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock, do not immerse iron or stand in water or other liquids. 4. The iron thermostat should always be turned to its lowest position before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit. 2. If an extension is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over. POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

BEFORE FIRST USE Remove any labels, stickers or tags which may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron before using the iron. Read all instructions for use carefully. Always follow the Important Safeguards. IMPORTANT The first time an iron is used, some odor and small white particles may come out of the steam vents. This is perfectly normal and will cease to occur after the iron has been in use for a short while.
CONNECTING THE IRON TO THE POWER SUPPLY • Make sure that the variable steam control dial is set at ‘0’. • Place the iron upright on the heel rest or on the stand (12). • Select the required temperature setting on the temperature control dial. • The red thermostat light (7) will come on indicating that the iron is heating up. • When the red light goes out, the set temperature has been reached and the iron is ready to use.
CHOOSING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE Set the temperature dial according to the type of fabric . • Synthetics (low temperature) • • Silk, Wool (medium temperature) • • • Cotton, Linen (high temperature) Temperature Control Dial Variable Steam Control Please note: Before starting to iron delicate fabrics, it is best to first test the temperature of the iron on a hem or an inside seam. TO SELECT IRON TEMPERATURE, LINE UP TEMPERATURE SELECTED ON DIAL WITH THE RED TRIANGLE ON THE WATER TANK.
FILLING WITH WATER • You can fill this iron with normal tap water. • Remove the main plug from the wall outlet before filling the iron with water. • Set the variable steam control (2) to position 0 (no steam). • Set the 3-position switch (13) to position “cordless” (13B) and take the cordless iron from the stand. (see fig. 1) • Place the iron horizontally and open the Water Filling Inlet Cover (6). Pour water into the water filling inlet (6) to a maximum of approximately 8 oz. (230ml).
IRONING WITH STEAM • Make sure iron is unplugged from power source. • Set the variable steam control to ‘0’. • Fill the iron with water following the instructions for filling. • Plug the cord into a 120 Volt AC electrical outlet. • Set the temperature control dial within the steam area i.e. ‘•••’. • Make sure that the iron has reached the selected temperature with the variable steam control set at ‘0’.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE • Place the iron on the stand. (Fig. 3) • Insert the plug into the wall outlet. • Set the appropriate ironing temperature indicated in the ironing instructions or in the fabric table by means of the temperature dial (1). (Fig. 4) • Thermostat light (7) will now come on. (Fig. 5) • When the thermostat light (7) has gone out and has come on again you can start ironing. • The thermostat light (7) will come on from time to time during corded ironing.
CORDED IRONING • Set the 3-position switch (13) to position 13C. (Fig. 6) • Take the iron with the power unit ( 11) from the stand. (Fig. 7) • Either place iron on heel rest or on the stand (12) when you interrupt ironing. Fig. 6 Fig. 7 CORDLESS IRONING • Set the 3-position switch (13) to position 13B. (Fig. 8) • Take the iron without the power base (11) from the stand. (Fig. 9) • Always place the iron on the stand (12) when you interrupt ironing.
WATER SPRAY • Use the spray button to add moisture to stubborn wrinkles. • First make sure that there is water in the tank. • Press the spray button (3) slowly to get a jet spray. (Fig. 10) • Press the spray button strongly and quickly to get a mist. • Please note: If spray does not come out when you press the spray button, cover the spray opening with your finger and press a few times. Fig.
TO EMPTY THE IRON • Always empty iron after each usage. • After using the iron, turn the variable steam control to ‘0’ and the temperature control dial to ‘minimum’. • Unplug the iron from the power source. • Set variable steam control to ‘MAX’. • Open the water inlet cover and turn the iron up-side down over the sink with the tip pointing downward and allow the water to flow from the opening. • Set variable steam control to ‘0’. • Allow iron to cool on the iron rest before storing.
SELF-CLEANING It is important to apply “Self-Cleaning” at least every two weeks to remove scale, etc. The harder the water the more the iron should be self-cleaned. or In order to remove calcium and built-up particles, the self-cleaning system should be run at least once a month. • Set the variable steam control (2) to position “0”. • Open the water filling inlet cover (6) and fill the water reservoir up to the Max indication. • Close the water filling inlet cover (6) and place the iron on its stand (12).
ATTACHING IRON TO THE IRONING BOARD Your iron is equipped with a clamp that can be used to attach the iron stand (12) to your ironing board (or any other suitable surface). (Fig. 14.) • Rotate the clamp 90°, so that it points down. • Place the iron stand (12) next to the edge of the table with the clamp on the bottom. • Turn the wing nut clockwise and then tighten it to the ironing board or table. • Reverse the process when finished ironing to remove the iron from the ironing board or table.
CLEANING, STORAGE & MAINTENANCE • Always turn the variable steam control to ‘0’ after you have emptied the water tank. • Allow iron to cool down. • Always store the iron on the metal iron rest or in an upright position on it’s heel rest to protect the soleplate. • From time to time clean the exterior with a damp cloth and wipe dry. • If you use spray starch, wipe the soleplate occasionally with a soft damp cloth to prevent the forming of a deposit.
Iron Troubleshooting Problem Iron does not heat Potential Reasons & Solutions • Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only. Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket. • Thermostat set too low. Turn to higher setting. Thermostat ready light goes On and Off Some odor or small particles come out of steam vents of new iron Iron does not steam Water droplets coming from steam vents • This is normal.
