GETTING TO KNOW YOUR IRON  
Before using your 1700 Watt Steam  
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.  
NOTE: Before starting to iron delicate  
To select iron temperature, align  
temperature selected on dial with  
the indicator on the water tank.  
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. The odor is safe and should not  
reoccur after initial heating.  
fabrics, it is best to first test the  
temperature of the iron on a hem or an  
inside seam.

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.  
In order to remove calcium and built-up  
particles, the self-cleaning system should be  
run at least once a month.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
ATTACHING THE SUPER-  
SIZE SOLEPLATE  
WARNING! Use caution when  
attaching the soleplate to the  
iron. Burns may occur from  
touching hot metal surfaces, hot  
water or steam.  
1. Lift the soleplate clamp and place  
the iron on the soleplate making sure  
that the heel of the iron is fitted into  
the two retaining tabs on the back of  
the super-size soleplate.  
2. Lower the nose of the iron and close  
the soleplate clamp to secure the  
iron in place. See figure 10.

slide the variable steam control lever  
all the way down to "0".  
2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V  
AC electrical outlet. The power "ON"  
light will come on, indicating that the  
iron is receiving power.  
3. Turn the temperature dial to the  
desired setting. (See "Ironing Guide"  
for a guide to temperature selection.)

protected surface) while iron is  
BEFORE FIRST USE  
Remove any labels, stickers or tags  
which may be attached to the body or  
the soleplate of the iron before using  
the iron.  
Before you start using your iron, read all  
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.  
EMPTYING THE IRON  
1. Always empty iron after each use.  
2. When finished using the iron, turn  
the variable steam control to“0” and  
the temperature control dial to "MIN".  
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical  
outlet.  
warming to desired temperature.  
STEAM IRONING  
4. Set variable steam control to "MAX".  
5. Turn the iron upside down over the  
sink with the tip pointing downward  
and allow the water to flow from the  
opening. See figure 11.  
6. Set variable steam control to "0".  
7. Allow iron to cool in an upright  
position before storing.  
CAUTION! DO NOT aim iron  
at face, towards yourself, or  
anyone else while using or  
adjusting steam. Burns or  
serious injury may occur.  
1. Fill the iron with regular tap water.  
(See page 6 for filling instructions.)  
2. Set the temperature control dial to its  
highest setting and the variable  
steam control to “0”.  
3. When the temperature ready light  
goes off, the iron has reached the  
selected temperature. Set the  
variable steam control to the highest  
setting.  
4. Keep the iron in a horizontal position  
and allow it to steam until the water  
runs out. Press the burst of steam  
button to eliminate white residue  
particles.  
5. Repeat this procedure for two or  
three fillings of water.  
WARNING! Before filling the  
iron with water, be sure the  
iron is not plugged into the  
electrical outlet. The iron may  
be filled with water while it is  
hot.  
WARNING! Use caution when  
emptying the iron. Burns may  
occur from touching hot metal  
surfaces, hot water or steam.  
Fig. 10  
CAUTION! TO PREVENT THE  
RISK OF BURNS, use caution  
when filling iron with water.  
Burns can occur from touching  
hot metal parts, hot water, or  
steam.  
3. To remove the super-size soleplate,  
lift the soleplate clamp and remove  
the iron.  
IRONING HINTS  
DRY IRONING  
WARNING! To prevent fire, do  
not leave iron unattended while  
connected.  
All marked settings on the temperature  
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide  
the variable steam control lever all the  
way down as shown in Figure 1. This  
will cut off the steam flow if water is in  
the tank.  
Fig. 11  
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.  
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 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.  
For Dry Ironing:  
WARNING: Never fill the iron  
with fabric conditioner,  
starches or any other liquid, as  
these will damage the steam  
mechanism. Do not use
