GETTING STARTED
Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.
Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a
home softening system
Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before
beginning to iron.

water-fill cover

2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water
into opened chamber until water reaches the MAX level
mark on the side of the water tank. Do not overfill.
3. Close the water-fill cover.
4. Plug in the iron. The on indicator light illuminates
(B). Once
the iron reaches the selected temperature, the light goes off.
The light will then cycle on an off during ironing.

and follow above steps.
Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside seam or hem)
before ironing.
