IRONING CHART  
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC IRON  
The odor is safe and should not reoccur  
after initial heating.  
Before using your Electronic Iron,  
remove any labels, stickers or tags that  
may be attached to the body or  
soleplate of the iron.  
When turned on for the first time, your  
new iron may emit an odor for up to 10  
minutes. This is due to the initial  
heating of the materials used in making  
the iron.  
NOTE: Always refer to the garment care tag for ironing instructions. Before starting to  
iron delicate fabrics, it is best to first test the temperature of the iron on a hem or an  
inside seam.  
Also, before ironing with steam for the  
first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a  
horizontal position and hit the burst of  
steam button several times. The iron  
may emit some small particles from the  
steam holes. This is normal and will  
clear after pressing the burst of steam  
button several times.

STORAGE  
WARNING! To prevent fire, do  
not leave iron unattended while  
connected.  
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.  
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE  
ELECTRONIC AUTO-OFF  
SELF CLEANING  
NOTE: Because of the soleplate design,  
ordinary tap water may be used with this  
iron. However, in very hard water areas,  
we recommend using distilled or  
demineralized water.  
ONLY and may be plugged into any  
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do  
not use any other type of outlet.  
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.  
The ELECTRONIC Iron is equipped with  
an electronic auto-off. The electronic  
auto-off switches the iron off if it has been  
left standing unmoved in any position  
(sideways, flat or upright) for  
approximately 7-9 minutes. A red light on  
the LED display panel will flash when the  
iron switches itself off. (Fig. 8) To switch  
the iron back on, just shake the iron side-  
to-side several times.  
FABRIC & TEMPERATURE  
INDICATORS  
WARNING: Never fill the iron  
with fabric conditioner, starches  
or any other liquid, as these will  
damage the steam mechanism. Do  
not use contaminated water.  
1. Set the variable steam control dial  
to any steam position.  
2. Fill the water tank up to the “MAX”  
level.  
Press on the Electronic Temperature  
Control to select the desired fabric  
setting. The red lights at the left of the  
LED Display Panel will light up.  
At the same time, the temperature  
indicator lights on the right side of the  
LED Display Panel will start to flash.  
They will stop flashing when the iron  
reaches the selected temperature.  
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. 9).  
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.  
1. Open the water filling inlet cover.  
Holding the iron at a slight angle,  
pour water slowly into the water  
filling inlet. See figure 1. Fill tank to  
desired level or to the “MAX” water  
level marking using the water filling  
flask. (When the iron is upright, the  
see-through water tank allows you to  
gauge the amount of water.) DO  
NOT overfill the tank. When finished  
filling the iron with water, close the  
water inlet cover before continuing.  
DRY IRONING  
For dry ironing, turn the variable steam  
control dial all the way to the right to “0”.  
This will cut off the steam flow if water is  
in the water tank. All marked fabric  
settings on the LED Display Panel can  
be used for dry ironing.  
1. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V  
AC electrical outlet. The power “ON”  
light will come on, indicating that the  
iron is receiving power.  
2. Press on the electronic temperature  
control button to select the desired  
fabric/temperature setting. Turn the  
variable steam control dial to “0”.
