BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• You iron will beep six times and the light will flash and continue to flash until you move your iron.
• To switch on again, lift it up, tilt it forward, then sit it upright to return to operating temperature.
• No settings are lost during auto shut-off.

PREPARATION

TEMPERATURE SETTING GUIDE

If the instructions on the fabric label differ from this guide, follow the instructions on the label.

FILLING

You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled or softened water).

2. Unplug the iron.
3. Hold the iron with the front raised.
4. Open the water inlet cover.

6. Don’t fill past max, or water will escape in use.
7. Wipe up any spillage.
