TROUBLESHOOTING
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Do not rest iron on soleplate.
11.Always store your iron on the iron
rest provided with your iron, not on
the soleplate. If stored face down,
even the smallest amount of
moisture will cause the soleplate to
corrode and stain.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical
outlet only.
Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.
• Temperature setting too low.
Turn to higher setting.
2. Never use or rest iron on an
unstable surface.
3. While the iron is hot, never set iron
on an unprotected surface - even if it
is on its heel rest.
Iron does not heat
12.DANGER! Never use the iron if it
is damaged or dropped. Using the
iron when it is damaged could
create the risks of fire, electric
shock, injury or death.
4. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER
INJURY, before filling the iron
with water, make sure that the
plug is removed from the outlet.

damage the steam mechanism. Do
not use contaminated water.
Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam
through 2-3 fillings & press the steam burst button
occasionally to eliminate small white particles.
6. WARNING! TO AVOID FIRE, never
leave iron unattended while it is
plugged in.
• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low.
Add water.
Iron does not steam
7. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK, never
immerse the iron in water or other
liquid.
• Make sure that the temperature control dial and
the variable steam control are correctly set. For
maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control),
temperature control dial should be set on ‘•••’.
• Adjustable steam control is set on “0”.
Always allow the iron to reach the selected
temperature with the adjustable steam control setting
at ‘0’. Make sure the temperature control dial is set in
the correct steam area, e.g. ‘•’, and the steam control is
not on ‘0’. For more steam, turn temperature dial to
higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’, and the steam control to ‘Max’.
• If temperature setting and steam control setting are
correct and there is no steam, gently tap the
soleplate on the ironing board a few times. Move
the variable steam control from ‘0’ to ‘Max’ a few
times.
8. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK, never use the
iron in a location where it can fall
or be pulled into water or any
other liquid. If the iron falls into
water or any other liquid, unplug it
immediately. DO NOT reach into
the water or liquid.
9. CAUTION: Never use scouring
pads, abrasive or chemical
cleaners, or solvents to clean the
exterior or soleplate of your iron.
Doing so will scratch and/or
damage the surface.
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set thermostat to the
‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient time to
heat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating
the variable steam control.
• Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time between
each burst.
Water droplets coming
from steam vents
10.WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at
face, towards yourself, or anyone
else while using or adjusting
steam. Burns or serious injury
may occur.
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,empty
water and follow instructions for filling.
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires
seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2
tanks until steam performance improves.

any labels, stickers or tags that may be

iron.
When turned on for the first time, your
new iron may emit an odor for up to 10
minutes. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used in making
the iron.
fabrics, it is best to first test the
temperature of the iron on a hem or an
inside seam.
Also, before ironing with steam for the
first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a
horizontal position and hit the burst of
steam button several times. The iron
may emit some small particles from the
steam holes. This is normal and will
clear after pressing the burst of steam
button several times.

ONLY and may be plugged into any
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do
not use any other type of outlet.
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to “0” after you have emptied
the water tank.
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control to “0” and
the temperature control dial to “MIN”.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
DRY IRONING
WARNING! 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.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
All marked settings on the temperature
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide
the variable steam control lever all the
down as shown in Figure 1. This will cut
off the steam flow if water is in the tank.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
4. Set variable steam control to “MAX”.
5. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
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.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
For Dry Ironing:
6. Set variable steam control to “0”.
7. Allow iron to cool in an upright
position before storing.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
CAUTION: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other liquid, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
WARNING! Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces,
hot water or steam.

2. Holding the iron at a slight angle,
pour water slowly into the water
filling inlet. See figure 2. Fill tank to
desired level or to the “MAX” water
level marking using the water filling
flask. (When the iron is upright, the
blue, see-through water tank allows
you to gauge the amount of water.)
DO NOT overfill the tank.
2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V
AC electrical outlet. The power “ON”
light will come on, indicating that the
iron is receiving power.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the
desired setting. (See “Ironing Guide”
for a guide to temperature selection.)
4. Place iron on its heel (on a stable,
protected surface) while iron is
warming to desired temperature.

desired temperature.
•
Use low settings for synthetics.
5. Slide the steam lever up to increase
the amount of steam. When using
extra steam, the iron uses more
water and it may be necessary to fill
the tank more often. See page 4.
•• Use moderate settings for wool,
silks, and blends.
•
If you are not sure of the fiber
content of a garment, test a small
area such as a seam or inside hem
section before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature setting
and gradually increase to find the
best setting.
••• Use high settings for cottons and
linens.

iron is held in the horizontal position.
Steam will stop coming out when the
iron is put on its heel in a vertical

WATER SPRAY
The water spray is useful on fabrics with
stubborn wrinkles. Press the spray
button and a jet of water will spray onto
the fabric being ironed. See Figure 5.
The water spray can be used with dry or
steam ironing as desired.
BURST OF STEAM
WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at face,
towards yourself, or anyone else
while using or adjusting steam.
Burns or serious injury may occur.
Figure 7
NOTE: Before starting to iron delicate
fabrics, it is best to first test the
temperature of the iron on a hem or an
inside seam.
The burst-of-steam button is useful
when ironing denim, cotton, and linens.
It provides extra, sudden blasts of
steam which aid in removing stubborn
wrinkles.
The burst-of-steam feature can be used
with Dry or Steam ironing as desired.
1. Make sure the water tank is at least
1/2 filled with water.
