OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
EMPTYING THE IRON
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control dial to
"0" and press the electronic
temperature control button until the
power light is lit.
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
4. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
5. Place iron upright and allow to cool
before storing.
Caution:
Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces,
hot water or steam.
SELF CLEANING
It is important to "Self Clean" the iron at
least every two weeks to remove scale,
calcium, etc. The harder the water, the
more often the iron should be self
cleaned.
1. Set the variable steam control dial
to any steam position.
2. Fill the water tank up to the "MAX"
level.
3. Stand the iron on its heel. Plug the
iron into the electrical outlet.
4. Press the electronic temperature
control button until you get the
"MAX" temperature setting on the
display panel and wait until the
iron heats up and temperature
setting light stops flashing.
5. Turn the variable steam control
dial all the way to the right to the
self-cleaning position and hold the
iron horizontally over the sink.
(Fig. 8)
6. Boiling water and steam will now
be ejected from the holes in the
soleplate. The impurities and scale
are washed away with it.
7. Move the iron back and forth as
this happens.
8. If there is any water left in the
water tank after the iron stops
steaming, just empty the remaining
water in a sink following the
instructions for emptying the iron.
9. Turn the variable steam control
dial to the "0" position when the
water tank is empty.
10. Place the iron back upright on its
heel to cool down before storing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to "0" after you have emptied
the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up
of deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
Note: The anti drip function reduces
water dripping and water stains. It does
not prevent water dripping and water
stains if you press the steam burst
button too often or if the temperature is
too low. The amount of water droplets
will eventually decrease after the iron is
used for 2 to 3 tankfuls of steaming and
ironing.
IRONING HINTS
Warning:
To prevent fire, do not
leave iron unattended while
connected.
• Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will reduce
the need to adjust the temperature
for different types of garments.
• If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test fabric by
ironing a small area such as a seam
or inside hem section before ironing
a visible area. Start with a low
temperature setting and gradually
increase to find the best setting.
• When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the
iron to cool to the new temperature
setting.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
