defined jet of spray which gently
moistens fabric.

8. WATER FILLING INLET

The cover prevents dust and
foreign matter from entering
the water tank. It also stops
any water from spilling during
ironing.

6. STAINLESS STEEL

SOLEPLATE

Provides maximum glide-
ability and heat retention.

5. BUILT-IN ANTI-CALCIUM

FILTER

Prevents calcium build-up
and prolongs the life of the
iron.

PIVOT CORD

For left or right handed use.
Pivots up and down;
prevents dragging along the
fabric. The flexible cord
protector protects the cord
from fraying.

7. LED DISPLAY PANEL

Displays the fabric setting
(left) and the temperature
indicators (right).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY and may be plugged into any
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do
not use any other type of outlet.

DRY IRONING

For dry ironing, turn the variable steam
control dial all the way to the right to “0”.
This will cut off the steam flow if water is
in the water tank. All marked fabric
settings on the LED Display Panel can
be used for dry ironing.
1. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V

AC electrical outlet. The power “ON”
light will come on, indicating that the
iron is receiving power.

2. Press on the electronic temperature

control button to select the desired
fabric/temperature setting. Turn the
variable steam control to “0”.
(See “Ironing Guide” for a guide to
temperature selection.)

3. Place iron on its heel (on a stable,

protected surface) while iron is
warming to desired temperature.

STEAM IRONING

CAUTION

DO NOT aim iron at

face, towards yourself, or

anyone else while using or adjusting
steam. Burns or serious injury may
occur.

2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V

AC electrical outlet.

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.

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.

FABRIC & TEMPERATURE
INDICATORS

Press on the Electronic Temperature
Control to select the desired fabric
setting. The red lights at the left of the
LED Display Panel will light up.
At the same time, the temperature
indicator lights on the right side of the
LED Display Panel will start to flash.
They will stop flashing when the iron
reaches the selected temperature.

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.

WARNING

: Never fill the iron

with fabric conditioner, starches

or any other liquid, as these will
damage the steam mechanism. Do
not use contaminated water.
1. Open the water filling inlet cover.

Holding the iron at a slight angle,
pour water slowly into the water
filling inlet. (Fig. 1) Fill tank to
desired level or to the “MAX” water
level marking using the water filling
flask. (When the iron is upright, the
see-through water tank allows you to
gauge the amount of water.) DO
NOT overfill the tank. When finished
filling the iron with water, close the
water inlet cover before continuing.
