This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical  
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.  
CORD PLUG  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the  
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 not attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS  
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.  
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.  
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.  
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are  
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.  
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo  
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.  
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF  
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

1. Set the iron to the COTTON or LINEN setting  
2. By pressing the Shot of Steam Button, an intense shot of steam is emitted from  
the soleplate.  
3. This can be very useful when removing stubborn creases. The Shot of Steam can  
be used only while ironing with higher ironing temperatures.

and the word LINEN will stop blinking.  
4. Hold the iron vertically and press the Shot of Steam Button to emit an intense  
vertical steam from the soleplate.  
SELF CLEAN (AUTO CLEAN SYSTEM)  
1. To prolong the life of your iron, we recommend that this should be carried out at  
regular intervals (once or twice a month).  
2. Set the Continuous Rotary Knob to position “X”.

8. Press the Self-Clean Button  
9. Boiling water and steam will now be ejected from the steam vents in the  
soleplate.  
10. Impurities and scale are washed away with the water.  
11. Move the iron forward and backwards while this happens.  
12. Release Self-Clean Button after one minute or when the Water Tank has become  
empty.  
13. Stand the iron on its heel rest.  
14. Insert the plug in to the wall socket and let the iron heat up again.  
15. Move the iron over an old piece of cloth in order to let the remaining water  
vaporize.  
16. Remove the plug from the wall outlet and wait for the soleplate to cool  
completely.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
USING THE WATER RESERVOIR:  
This iron can be used with normal tap water.  
If the water in your area is particularly hard, it is advisable to use distilled or de-  
mineralized water to prevent scale from forming.  
Do not use water that has passed through a home water softening system. This  
type of water contains minerals that will decrease the performance and shorten  
the life of your iron.  
Filling:  
1. Ensure that the iron is disconnected from the power supply before filling. Turn the  
Continuous Steam Rotary Knob to “X” position, slide the Water Reservoir Cover  
down.  
2. Fill water into the reservoir.  
3. Close the Water Reservoir Cover.  
Note:  
Do not fill higher than indication “MAX” of the water tank in order to avoid spilling  
out of water.  
Do not fill with anything but water. If you have to refill while ironing, remove the  
main plug from the wall socket before filling.  
Pour any remaining water out after use.  
USING THE IRON:  
Ironing temperature:  
Always check first to see whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the  
article to be ironed. Follow these instructions in all cases. If ironing instructions are  
missing but you do know the kind of fabric, then the table below may help you.

Dry Ironing  
1. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC outlet.  
2. Make sure that the Continuous Steam Rotary Knob is in position “X”.  
3. By pressing the Fabric Selector button, select the setting best suited for the fabric  
to be ironed.  
Steam Ironing  
1. Follow the instructions for filling the water reservoir.  
2. Stand the iron on its heel rest.  
3. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC outlet.  
4. Press the Fabric Selector button to reach the desired fabric setting.  
5. Wait a few minutes for the indicator light to go out and come back on again. Set  
the Continuous Steam Rotary Knob to the required position, then the steam will  
emerge from the vents in the soleplate.  
NOTE: It is recommended that the Burst of Steam button only be used when the fabric  
setting being used is COTTON or LINEN.  
SAFETY FEATURES:  
NOTE: the iron will go into AUTO OFF mode if it is left unattended and will read  
“STAND BY” until the iron is moved again, or it automatically shuts off.  
Sleep condition: If the iron is left immobile for 30 seconds or in vertical position  
for 15 minutes, the LCD background will turn off and will flash “STAND BY” in ½  
second intervals. Under this condition, the relay has no output and the buzzer will  
continuously beep for 2 seconds, then the iron will enter the sleep condition with  
the Sleep Indication Lamp (blue lamp) flashing.  
Abnormal alarm: If the sensor gets short-circuited or open circuited, or senses an  
abnormal temperature rise, it will alarm after 8 seconds with intermittent beeps in  
3 second intervals. After alarm sounds, the LCD will have no display and the Sleep  
Indication lamp will flash blue. The buzzer will continue to beep until the  
abnormal situation is eliminated.  
CARING FOR YOUR IRON  
CLEANING:  
Before cleaning the iron, ensure that it is disconnected from the power supply and  
has completely cooled down.  
Deposits and other residues on the soleplate can be removed with a rough cloth  
soaked in a vinegar/water solution.  
The plastic casing may be wiped with a damp cloth and then polished with a dry  
one.  
Do not use abrasives on the soleplate.  
STORAGE:  
Set the Continuous Rotary Knob to position “X”.  
Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

Stand the iron upright on its heel rest and allow to cool completely.  
Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.  
Loosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.  
IRONING TIPS:  
Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.  
Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.  
You should first iron garments requiring low temperatures to avoid damaging  
them with an iron that is too hot.  
If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a  
seam or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and  
gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.  
When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow  
approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.  
When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the  
steam to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out  
the moisture.  
To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too  
hot because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.  
Never iron over zippers, pins, snaps, or anything metal as this may scratch or  
damage the soleplate.
