To reduce the risk of
burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. This appliance should never be left
unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance is not a toy and should not
be used by children.
3. Close supervision is necessary when this
appliance is used near children or individuals
with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could
result in fire or personal injury.
4. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by Conair.
5. Always position iron carefully to prevent
it from falling if ironing board is accidentally
moved or cord is pulled. Always rest the
appliance upright on its heel rest, on a stable
surface, when not in use.
6. Never operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been dropped or
damaged, or dropped into water. Do not
attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect
reassembly or repair could cause a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when the appliance is used. Return the
appliance to an authorized service center
for examination and repair.
7. Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.
Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool
completely before emptying or putting away.
Wrap the cord loosely around the iron when
storing.
8. This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
9. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
10. Do not use outdoors or operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.
11. We recommend you do not use an
extension cord to operate this appliance. If an
extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15
ampere rated cord should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance are hot when in
use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or
skin.
13. Do not place the soleplate directly on any
surface or on the appliance power cord while it
is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance and allow to cool
before filling or emptying the water reservoir
and when the appliance is not in use.
15. Do not operate steamer without properly
filling the water tank with water.
16. The iron should always be turned off before
plugging in or unplugging from an outlet. Never
yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead,
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
17. Burns could occur from touching hot
metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when turning a steam iron upside down to
empty water, as there may be hot water in the
reservoir.
18. If you need to clean the iron, unplug and
allow to cool. Use a slightly damp cloth and
wipe down the outside of the iron. DO NOT use
cleaning agents or place the iron in water or
cleaning fluids.
19. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
20. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
21. Never steam or iron clothes you, or
someone else, are wearing.
22. When emitting steam, this appliance may
cause burns if it is used too close to the skin
or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce
the risk of contact with hot water emitting from
the steam vents, test appliance before use by
holding it away from the body.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING FOR FIRST USE
Before first use, remove all labels from the
soleplate and housing. Turn the iron on, allow to
heat up, then turn the iron off.
Sort the laundry to be ironed according to the
international symbols on the garment label, or if
this is missing, according to the type of fabric.
1. The tank can be filled with ordinary tap water.
Distilled or demineralized water is preferred.
a. Using a clean measuring cup, slowly fill the
tank until the water reaches the Max
indicator.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
b. Wipe off any water that may have spilled
on the outside of the iron with a soft clean
cloth.
2. Set the iron on a stable, flat surface. We
recommend using a quality ironing board
as the pressing surface. Be sure to give
yourself enough room to maneuver the
iron when pressing.
3. Plug the iron into a receptacle. Make sure that
no other high-wattage appliances are plugged
into the same circuit.
4. Once the iron heats up, it is ready to use.
5. After use, turn iron off, unplug, and let the
iron cool for 10 minutes before putting it
away.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When using the iron for the first time, you may
notice a slight emission of smoke and hear
some sounds made by the expanding plastics.
This is quite normal and it stops after a short
time. We also recommend passing the iron over
an ordinary cloth before using it for the first
time.
ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special resin filter inside the water reservoir
softens the water and prevents scale buildup on
the plate. The resin filter is permanent and does
not need replacing.
Please Note:
DO NOT use chemical additives, scented
substances or decalcifiers. Failure to comply
with this regulation leads to the loss of
warranty.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
With the Anti-Drip System, you can perfectly
iron even the most delicate fabrics.
Always iron these fabrics at low temperatures.
The plate may cool down to the point where
no more steam comes out, but rather drops
of boiling water that can leave marks or
stains. In these cases, the Anti-Drip System
automatically activates to prevent vaporization,
so that you can iron the most delicate fabrics
without risk of spoiling or staining them.
DRY IRONING
To iron without steam, leave the steam selector
on position “0”.
SPRAY FUNCTION
Make sure that there is water in the reservoir.
Press the spray button slowly (for a dense
spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray).
WARNING: For delicate fabrics, we recommend
moistening the fabric beforehand using
the spray function, or putting a damp cloth
between the iron and the fabric.
To avoid staining, do not use the spray on silk
or synthetic fabrics.
CLEANING
Please Note: Before cleaning the iron in any
way, make sure that the appliance plug is not
connected to the outlet.
Any deposits or starch residue left on the
plate can be removed using a damp cloth or a
nonabrasive liquid detergent after it has cooled.
Avoid scratching the plate with steel wool or
metallic objects.
The plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp
cloth, then wiped over with a dry cloth.
SELF CLEANING
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the plate,
removing impurities. We recommend using it
every 10–15 days. Directions:
• ill the reservoir up to the maximum level
indicated and set the steam selector to “OFF”.
• et the thermostat knob to the maximum
temperature and wait for the light to turn off.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and hold the
iron horizontally over the sink.
• old the self-clean button setting until all
the boiling water, steam, and impurities
come out.
• hen the soleplate has cooled down, you
may clean it with a damp cloth.
HOW TO STORE
• isconnect the plug of the iron from
the socket.
• eave the iron to cool down completely.
• mpty the water reservoir by turning the
iron upside down over a sink and gently
shaking it.
• Always put the iron away in a vertical position.
