2. Filling the Water Tank: Place the Iron in the horizontal position (on its Soleplate).
Using the Filler Cup provided, slowly pour water through the Water Fill Opening
until the Water Tank is filled to the Maximum Water Level Line; DO NOT
OVERFILL. (See FIGURE 5.)
IMPORTANT: Use tap water or distilled water only. Do not use chemically
descaled water or any other liquids. DO NOT put any chemical cleaning agents
or solvents into the Water Tank.
3. With the Water Tank full, stand the Iron in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest)
on a heat resistant surface and plug into a 120V outlet. An audible beep will sound
and the Water Tank will glow blue.
4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the “max” (RED) setting. The red Thermostat
Light will illuminate, indicating that the Iron is heating. Once the Iron has reached
the set temperature, a final audible beep will sound and the red Thermostat Light
will go off, indicating that the Iron is ready for use.
5. Hold the Iron horizontally over a basin or bowl, and turn the Steam Control Dial to
the “ ” position -- continue to hold the Steam Control Dial in this position until
the Water Tank is empty. Water and steam will flush the scale and dust through
the Soleplate and into the basin.
CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH ESCAPING STEAM.
NOTE: To prevent Auto Shut-Off, gently move the Iron back and forth while
self-cleaning.
6. When the Water Tank is empty, release the Steam Control Dial and turn it to the
“X” (no steam) position. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the “min” position
and unplug the Iron. Stand the Iron back in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest)
and allow it to cool completely before storing.
Anti-Scale
This Iron features an anti-scale agent that helps prevent the build-up of scale.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the Iron or the Ceramic Soleplate, never use a
descaling solution.
Storing the Iron
Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug -- NEVER pull on the cord.
Empty the Water Tank after each use, (see EMPTYING THE WATER TANK). Allow the
Iron to COOL COMPLETELY before storing. To protect the Ceramic Soleplate, stand
the Iron in an upright position on its Heel Rest. Wrap the cord loosely around the base
of the Iron.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your Iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the Iron in water or
other liquids.
4. The Iron should always be turned to “min” position before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use.
7. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the Iron has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the Iron.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the Iron is used.
Contact Consumer Service for examination and repair.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
caution when you turn a steam iron upside down -- there may be hot water
in the Water Tank.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
