tally tip the iron over, it will automatically stop heating
after 30 seconds. The Off Indicator will blink to let
you know that the iron has stopped heating.

The Storage Strip™ indicator is an easy way to see when
the iron is cool enough to store.
To use the Storage Strip™ Indicator:
Turn iron on. In approximately 3 minutes, the Storage
Strip™ indicator will turn from black to red, indicating
that the iron is too hot to store. When the iron is turned
off, it will take the iron approximately 55-65 minutes for
the Storage Strip™ indicator to turn from red to black, in-
dicating that the iron is cool enough to store.
CAUTION: The Storage Strip™ indicator should only be
used as a guideline. The iron should always be handled
and stored with care.

When the water in the reservoir is low, the water-level sen-
sor will emit two short beeps then one longer beep. The
iron will automatically switch to Steam OFF mode, and
the Steam LED light will turn off.
1. To refill and reset the sensor, fill the water reservoir
with water, then press either the Turbo Steam™, Shot
of Steam ® or Steam ON button to allow the sensor to
find the new water level and reset. Steam ironing can
then be resumed.
2. If steam ironing is attempted, but the water reservoir is
NOT refilled, the sensor will detect this and emit two
short beeps followed by one longer beep, and the iron
will switch again to Steam OFF mode until refilled.
NOTE: If you do not refill and reset the sensor you may
experience excessive noise and vibration.

The Turbo Steam™ iron houses an Anti-Calcium filter in the
reservoir, which eliminates impurities from the water.
To prolong the efficiency of this filter:
1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool.
2. Locate the water cup that accompanied the iron and fill it
with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and fill the
water reservoir with this solution.
3. Leave the solution in the water reservoir for 15 minutes, then empty it.
4. Fill the water reservoir a second time with the salt water
solution and empty it again after 15 minutes.
5. Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse and empty.
The Anti-Calcium System should be cleaned approximately once
a month.
