IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
Read all instructions

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Only use iron for its intended use.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet.
Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. The incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when it is energized or cooling down.
When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down
– there might be hot water in the reservoir.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating.
Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
The filling aperture must not be opened during use. Instructions for the safe refilling of the water reservoir shall be given. 17. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on the heel rest.
The plug must be removed from the socket outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service center.
To prevent the risk of burns, body parts should be kept away from the area being steamed.
.Do not steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.
Auto-Off is a safety feature. This is not a recommended means for turning your iron off.

Before First Use

When using the Iron for the first time, test it n a piece of old cloth to be sure that the Soleplate and the Water Reservoir are clean.
It is possible that the Iron will discharge some smoke or give off a slight odor during its first usage. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. This is completely normal and will stop shortly afterward.
When not ironing, always have the Steam Select Switch turned to the closed position .

Instructions For Use

USING THE STEAM IRON

Set the Steam Iron in an upright position and insert the plug into the wall electrical outlet. The Power On Indicator Light will turn on.
Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
The Temperature Indicator Light will turn on once the selected temperature is reached and you can begin to iron. The Temperature Indicator Light will turn on and off from time to time while you are ironing since the thermostat automatically maintains the Soleplate at the same temperature.
Another important feature of your Steam Iron is the 360º Swivel Cord, which prevents tangling and allows for easy use by both right and left-handed people.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER

This Steam Iron may be used with normal tap water. However, if the water of the region in which you live is especially hard, it is recommended to use distilled water to prolong the life of your Iron.
Do not use water that has been desalinated with chemicals.

Filling With Water

Turn off the Iron and disconnect the plug from the electrical wall outlet before filling
the Iron with water.
Turn the Steam Select Switch to the closed position
Set the Iron in the position indicated below (figure 2) and fill it with water, no higher than the Max fill level shown on the See-Through Water Window.

Dry Ironing

Insert the plugin the electrical wall socket.
Make sure that the Steam Select Switch is in the closed position
Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
When the Temperature Indicator Light turns on, you may start to iron.

Steam Ironing

Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures (silk, wool, cotton, linen), as indicated on the Temperature Control Dial.

Be sure that there is enough water in the Reservoir.
Set the iron in an upright position.
Plug the steam Iron into the wall electrical outlet.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired position within the range of temperatures included in the steam area of the dial.
Wait until the Temperature Indicator Light turns on.
Set the Steam Select Switch to the desired steam level position (figure 3). You are now ready to start steam ironing. The steam will be released evenly through vents located in the soleplate for easier ironing.

Spray Mist

The Spray Mist feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to help remove wrinkles from heavy fabrics and to set creases.

Press the Spray Mist button firmly to start the spray.

Dual Shot of Steam

This feature allows you to use shot of steam while ironing horizontally or vertically, as the next two sections describe.

Shot of Steam

The Shot of Steam feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of stubborn wrinkles. The Shot of Steam feature can be used with dry or steam ironing provided it has at least a ¼ tank of water and the Temperature Control Dial is set within the steam band.

Allow the iron to heat for approximately two minutes.
Press the Shot of Steam Button several times to prime the pump.
Press the Shot of Steam Button another three to four times in order to clean the unit.
The Shot of Steam feature is now ready for use. The Shot of Steam feature can be used continuously with just a short pause between shots. The Shot of Steam feature is most effective with the Iron held in a horizontal position just above the fabric being ironed.
If the Water Reservoir runs dry, unplug the Iron and refill with water. The Iron may be filled with water while it is hot. Note: It may be necessary to re-prime the pump before using the Shot of Steam feature again.

Vertical Shot of Steam

The vertical shot steam feature allows your iron to function as a garment steamer.
TIP: When using the vertical shot of steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a clothes hanger for best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.
HOW TO USE VERTICAL STEAM

Allow iron to warm up (2 minutes).
Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric you want to steam.
With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
Press the Shot of Steam button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the iron across the wrinkled area.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being steamed.
WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.

Ironing Temperature

Check the ironing instructions on the label of the item that you wish to iron. Check the temperature settings table for further instructions.
Should the specific ironing instructions not appear on the label, follow instructions on the temperature settings table. This table is only valid for the fabrics indicated and does not apply to special textiles with a gloss finish, etc. Textiles with special coatings (such as gloss, relief wrinkles, etc.) are best ironed at very low temperatures. If the textile consists of several different types of fibers, always select the lowest temperature, i.e. the temperature recommended for the most delicate fiber in the composition (for example, if the composition consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should iron at the temperature indicated for polyester).

Setting The Temperature

Set the Iron in an upright position.
Connect the Iron to an electrical wall socket.
Set the Temperature Control Dial (figure 4) to the correct ironing temperature as indicated on the label or the temperature settings table.

Anti-Calc

The anti-calc feature helps prevent the build-up of mineral deposits in your iron. This prolongs its life and improves the iron’s performance.

Anti-Drip

Produces steam without dripping, spitting, or leaking through the soleplate, even at low temperatures.

3 Way Auto-Off Feature

When the iron is plugged in, the Power Indicator will light steadily, indicating that there is power to the iron.

IF YOU LEAVE THE IRON

In a horizontal position without moving it, or accidentally tip the iron over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. The ON/OFF indicator light will blink repeatedly to let you know that the iron has stopped heating.
In a vertical position (on its heel rest) without moving it, the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. The ON/OFF indicator light will blink repeatedly to let you know that the iron has stopped heating. TO RESET THE IRON
Move the iron back and forth and allow it to reheat for 2 minutes. The indicator will stop blinking and the iron will start heating again.
WARNING: The 3 Way Auto-Off is a safety feature, not a recommended means for turning your iron off.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before cleaning the Iron, always make sure that it is disconnected from the electrical wall socket and is completely cool.
SOLEPLATE

Residue on the Soleplate can be wiped off with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and vinegar.
Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage the finish.

HOUSING

The housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and then wiped dry.
Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. If for any reason your Steam Iron should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself. Send it to an Authorized Service Center.

Self-Cleaning Feature

You should use the Self-Cleaning feature to maintain the optimal performance of your iron. The Self Cleaning feature will clean the water reservoir and steam vents of accumulated minerals, dust and lint.
