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.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
POLARIZED PLUG
a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do no attempt to defeat this safety feature.

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.
Before you start using your iron, follow the instructions in the manual and do the following in
order to eliminate any odor and small white residue particles and to ensure optimum steam
performance.
Fill the iron with regular tap water.
Set the temperature control dial at its highest and steam control at ‘0’.
When the thermostat light goes off to indicate that the iron has reached the selected temperature,
set the steam control at MAX.
Keep the iron in a horizontal position and allow it to steam until the water runs out.
Press the steam burst button to eliminate white residue particles.
Repeat this procedure through 2 or 3 fillings of water.

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.
• For optimal ironing performance, the iron should be replaced to the stand
for heating up to the set temperature. As soon as the soleplate has
regained the set temperature, the thermostat light (7) will go off.
• When cordless steam ironing for a considerable amount of time, the
soleplate might cool down more than required. For that reason, we advise
you to always use the iron in the corded mode if you intend to steam iron
for a considerable time.

IRONING WITH STEAM
• As indicated on the temperature control dial (1) and the fabric table, steam
ironing is only possible at the higher ironing temperature settings: •• for
moderate or ••• for maximum steam.
• With conventional steam irons, water may leak from the soleplate if too low a
temperature has been selected. However, your new steam iron has an “Anti-
Drip” feature which will automatically stop the iron from steaming at too low a
temperature. When this happens, you will hear a “Click”. Set the temperature
control dial (1) to the advised position. Steaming will restart when the
appropriate temperature has been reached.
Fig. 11
• Ensure that there is enough water in the water reservoir.
• Place the iron on its stand (12) and set the temperature control dial (1) to the
required position within the “steam area” (•• for moderate or ••• for maximum
steam). (Fig. 11)
• After the thermostat light (7) has gone out and has come on again, you may
start ironing.
• Slide the variable steam control (2) to the required position. (Fig. 12)

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). Plug unit into wall outlet and wait until
the iron heats up and the thermostat light (7) goes off and then comes on again.
• Set the 3-position switch to the cordless position (13B) and remove the iron from the stand (12) with the power
base (11).
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink and slide the variable steam control button (2) to the “Self-Clean” zone.
(Fig. 13)

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.
• If the iron has not been used for a few weeks, hold the iron horizontally and allow it to steam for
2 minutes before ironing.
WARNING: The anti-drip function reduces water dripping and water stains. It does not
prevent water dripping or water stains if you press the steam burst button
too often or if temperature is too low. The amount of water droplets will
eventually decrease after iron is used for 2 to 3 tankfuls of steaming and
ironing.

Iron Troubleshooting
Problem
Potential Reasons & Solutions
• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.
Iron does not heat
• Thermostat set too low. Turn to higher setting.
Thermostat ready light
goes On and Off
• This is normal. The light goes On and Off as the thermostat is switching
the heating element On and Off to maintain the selected temperature.
Some odor or small particles come
out of steam vents of new iron
• This is normal. Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam through 2-3
fillings & press the steam burst button occasionally to eliminate small white particles.
• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low. Add water.
• Make sure that the temperature control dial and the variable steam control are correctly
set. For maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control), temperature control dial
should be set on ‘•••’.
Iron does not steam
• Always allow the iron to reach the selected temperature with the steam setting at ‘0’.
Make sure the temperature control dial is set in the correct steam area and the steam
control is not on ‘0’. For more steam, turn temperature dial to higher setting. e.g. ‘•••’
and the steam control to ‘Max’.
• If temperature setting and steam control setting are correct and there is no steam, gently
tap the soleplate on the ironing board a few times. Move the variable steam control from
‘0’ to ‘Max’ a few times.
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set thermostat to the ‘max’ position. Always allow iron
sufficient time to heat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating the variable steam
control.
Water droplets coming
from steam vents
• Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time between each burst.
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,empty water and follow instructions for filling.
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires seasoning. Use regular tap water for 1or 2
tanks until steam performance improves.
