Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures (silk, wool, cotton, linen), as indicated
on the Temperature Control Dial.
1. Be sure that there is enough water in the Reservoir.
2. Set the iron in an upright position.
3. Plug the steam Iron into the wall electrical outlet.
4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired position within
the range of temperatures included in the steam area of the dial.
5. Wait until the Indicator Light has turned off after lighting up.
6. Set the Steam Select Lever to the desired steam level position
(figure 3). You are now ready to start steam ironing. The steam
will be released evenly through vents located in the soleplate for
easier ironing.
The Spray Mist feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to help
remove wrinkles from heavy fabrics and to set creases.
1. Press the Spray Mist button firmly to start the spray.
The Shot of Steam feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of
stubborn wrinkles. The Shot of Steam feature can be used with dry or steam ironing
provided it has at least a ¼ tank of water and the Temperature Control Dial is set within
the steam band.
1. Allow the iron to heat for approximately two minutes.
2. Press the Shot of Steam Button several times to prime the pump.
3. Press the Shot of Steam Button another three to four times in order to clean the unit.
The Shot of Steam feature is now ready for use. The Shot of Steam feature can be
used continuously with just a short pause between shots. The Shot of Steam feature
is most effective with the Iron held in a horizontal position on the fabric being ironed.
4. If the Water Reservoir runs dry, unplug the Iron and refill with water. The Iron may be
filled with water while it is hot. Note: It may be necessary to re-prime the pump before
using the Shot of Steam feature again.
