IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed. These include:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
• Use the iron only for its intended purpose.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to the minimum
setting before plugging or unplugging from the
outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from
the outlet; instead grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let
the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop
loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying, and
also when not in use.
• Do not operate the iron if the power cord is
damage or if the iron has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid a risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified service
person for examination and repair, or contact our
customer service. Incorrect reassembly can cause a
risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance
being used by or near children. Do not leave the
iron unattended while connected to power or on
an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot
water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam
iron upside down or use a burst of steam as there
may be hot water in the reservoir.
• Avoid rapid movement of the iron to minimize hot
water spillage.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is
connected to power.
• The plug must be removed from the power outlet
before the water tank is filled with water.
• The iron must be placed and used on a stable
surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the
surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
• The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if
there are visible signs of damage or if leaking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord
with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the
maximum rating of the iron shall be used. Cords
rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.

How to Use
This product is intended for household use only.
IMPORTANT
This product was thoroughly tested by our QA team in our factories prior to shipping.
Some residual water from the testing might remain in the unit or the water tank. This
is normal and we guarantee this is a brand new product.
• Remove all labels, stickers and tags attached to the body of the iron.
• The ceramic-coated soleplate doesn't come with protective film, which is normal.
Only stainless steel soleplates need the protective film.
• Use ordinary tap water for ironing. If the water is very hard, it is possible to mix
untreated tap water with distilled or demineralized water.
• For optimum performance, turn the iron on and let it stand for 90 seconds before
beginning to iron.
• Always stand the iron on its heel rest when powered on but not in use.
• The iron may give off some smoke and emit an odor when first used. This will cease
after a short while. It is safe and will not harm the performance of the iron.
Filling with Water
Tilt the iron and pour water into the water tank opening
using a clean filling cup until the water reaches the MAX
level as indicated on the water tank. Refill as needed.
Note:
If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron from the power
supply and follow the above steps.

Note:
If you find that the iron stops from time to time, please try to using with
larger movements, as smaller movements may activate the auto shutoff feature.
Emptying the Water Tank
Note:
It is recommended to empty the water tank after each use to keep steaming
clean and to avoid scale deposits. This will also prolong the iron’s lifespan.
1. Unplug the iron and let it cool.
2. To empty the water, hold the iron over a sink with the tip pointing down. Water will
empty out of the water tank opening.
Automatic Anti-Calc Function
Your iron contains an anti-calc cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably
prolongs the operational life of your iron.
The anti-calc cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be
replaced.

Auto-Cleaning System
It is recommended to use the Self Clean function once every two weeks to double the
life of your iron and secure long-lasting, powerful steam.
1. Fill the water tank to the Max level and slide the Variable Steam Knob to the position.
2. Plug in the iron.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Max level and stand the iron on its heel
rest. Allow it to heat for about 3 minutes.
4. Unplug the iron and hold over a sink with the soleplate facing down.
5. Press and hold the Self Clean button and gently shake the iron from side to side and
front to back. Be careful, as hot water and steam will come out from the steam vents.
6. Continue to press the Self Clean button until all water has emptied.
7. Repeat the self clean process if the water tank still contains a lot of impurities.
8. When finished, release the Self Clean button, stand the iron on its heel rest and plug
it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water.
Cleaning the Exterior
1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and has cooled down completely.
2. Wipe the outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild household
detergent. Never use abrasive, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring pads that
may scratch or discolor the iron.
3. Do not immerse the iron into water or other liquids.
4. After cleaning, steam the iron over an old cloth to remove any residue from the
steam vents.
Soleplate Care
The Self Clean function cleans the steam holes, but will not remove residue from the
flat surface of the soleplate. To clean an iron’s soleplate, preheat the iron to the Cotton-
Linen (
to MAX) setting and iron over a damp, 100% cotton cloth. This creates
heavy steam that transfers residue from the soleplate to the cloth.
NOTES:
•
Care should be taken while cleaning as steam can burn.
• Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps since these may scratch the soleplate.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
Storing the Iron
1. Unplug the iron and let it cool completely.
2. Make sure the Variable Steam Knob is in the
position.
3. Store the iron on its heel rest. Storing the iron on its soleplate may cause leaks or
damage.
Tips for Best Ironing Results
FABRIC FACTS AND LABELS:
Every fabric is different and should be treated accordingly. The label inside clothing or
linens should contain fabric care instructions that include ironing recommendations.
As a general rule, these instructions should be followed. If the fabric is a blend, use a
low temperature setting. If you do not know what the content of the fabric is, use the
lowest temperature first and test on an inside seam.
PREPARE TO IRON:
1. Cover your ironing board with a padded, heat-resistant cover. Brush or wipe off any
dust, dirt, or debris so it doesn’t transfer to clothing.
2. To set the height of the ironing board, stand with your elbows bent at right angles;
then drop your hands slightly so your arms are in a comfortable position. Set the
height of your ironing board to this height.
3. Check the soleplate for mineral deposits or scorched material before you begin
ironing. Follow the “Soleplate Care” instructions on page 8.
FAST FACTS:
• Always iron with a lengthwise motion. Ironing in a circular motion may stretch fabric.
• Natural fibers such as cotton and linen should be ironed slightly damp for faster,
easier ironing. If they are completely dry, use maximum steam while ironing or mist
them with water prior to ironing.
• Any portion of a garment that has two layers of fabric such as pockets, seams,
collars, and cuffs should first be ironed inside out.
• To press a collar, iron from the points in using small strokes of the iron. After wrinkles
are removed, crease the collar into place by hand. Treat French cuffs similarly, gently
creasing by hand after ironing.

What type of water to use?
Your steam iron has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your water
is very hard (check with your local water authority), it is possible to mix untreated tap
water with store-bought distilled or demineralized water in the following proportions:
50% tap water, 50% distilled or demineralized water.
However, it is necessary to operate the Self Clean function regularly in
order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
Use the Self Clean function approximately every 2 weeks. If the water is
very hard, clean the iron weekly.
What type of water not to use?
Do not use rainwater or water containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic
substances, softeners, etc.) or water obtained through condensation (e.g. dryer,
refrigerators, air conditioners or rainwater). These contain organic waste as well as
minerals that condense under influence of heat and cause sputtering, brown stains or
the premature wearing of your iron.
Troubleshooting
Issue Possible Cause(s) Solution
Water drips from
the holes in the

sufficiently in order to remove any
deposits of soap or chemical products
on new clothes.
The soleplate is
dirty or brown
and can stain the
linen.
You’re ironing with an inappropriate
temperature selection (temperature
too high).
Clean the soleplate (see the section
"Soleplate Care") and select the
appropriate temperature.
You have ironed over a printed area
of a garment.
Never iron printed areas or
applications. Always iron the reverse
side of such a garment.
