does not steam  
• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low.  
Add water.  
• Make sure that the temperature control dial is correctly  
set. For maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam  
control), temperature control dial should be set on ‘•••’.  
• Make sure the iron has reached the selected  
temperature by confirming that the pilot light has gone  
"Off". For more steam, turn temperature dial to  
higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’.  
• If temperature setting is correct and there is no steam,  
gently tap the soleplate on the ironing board a few  
times. Move the temperature control dial from ‘MIN’ to  
‘Max’ a few times.  
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set temperature control  
dial to the ‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient  
time to heat up (pilot light goes off).  
Water droplets coming  
from steam vents  
• Overuse of steam trigger. 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. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2  
tanks until steam performance improves.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.  
BURST OF STEAM & CONTINUOUS STEAM (Horizontal & Vertical)  
Please note: Before using the garment steamer/iron for the first time, it is  
important to purge the inside of the iron by allowing it to steam  
freely for a minute. This allows the removal of any impurities left  
by the manufacturing process.  
WARNING! Before filling the garment steamer/iron with water, be sure that the  
unit is not plugged into the electrical outlet. The garment  
steamer/iron may be filled with water while it is hot.  
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF BURNS, use caution when filling  
garment steamer/iron with water. Burns can occur from touching  
hot metal parts, hot water or steam.  
WARNING!DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while  
using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur.  
CAUTION:Never fill the garment steamer/iron with fabric conditioner, starches  
or any other liquid, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do  
not use contaminated water.  
1. Make sure that the garment steamer/iron is unplugged from the power source.  
2. Fill the unit with water following the instructions for filling on page 5.  
3. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.  
4. Set the temperature control dial within the steam area, i.e. ““• • • ”.  
(See page 5 for setting the temperature.)  
NOTE: Because of the soleplate design, ordinary tap water may be used with this  
appliance. However, in very hard water areas, we recommend using distilled  
or demineralized water.  
5. The pilot light will go “On”.  
1. Disconnect the unit from the power supply.  
2. Open the water inlet cover.  
3. Using the measuring beaker provided and holding the  
garment steamer/iron at a slight angle, pour water  
slowly into the water filling inlet. See illustration.  
DO NOT overfill the tank.  
6. When the correct temperature has been reached, the pilot light will go “Off”.  
7. When the pilot light has gone off, press the steam trigger to produce a strong  
jet of steam. To prevent water leaking from the soleplate, do not keep the  
steam trigger depressed for more than 5 seconds. See illustrations below.  
8. When using the continuous steam feature, depress the steam trigger and then  
release. Steam flow will begin shortly after releasing the steam trigger. To  
maintain a constant flow of steam, depress and release steam trigger again  
when steam flow has begun to drop.  
4. Plug the cord into a household electrical outlet  
(see page 3 for voltage settings).  
5. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired  
temperature setting and allow the iron to heat for  
approximately 2 minutes before ironing. Place iron  
on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) while  
the iron is warming to desired temperature. The  
pilot light will come on. When the iron has reached the desired temperature, the  
pilot light will go “Off”.
