IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to per-sons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and
instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Use appliance only for its intended use.
5. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
6. Always turn the iron to OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. To unplug,
grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
7. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil
the cord into the provided cord reel for storing.
8. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the
water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
9. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged or
there are visible signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Supply cord replacement and iron repairs must be conducted by a qualified
serviceman or the manufacturer. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the
iron is used after reassembly. Contact Customer Service for information on examination, repair, or
adjustment as set forth in the Limited Warranty.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
11. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
12. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
13. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a
steam iron upside down—there might be hot water in the reservoir.
14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high-wattage
appliance.
15. 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. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled
or be tripped over.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Suggestions before using the iron for the first time
1. Certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased therefore the iron could give off a little smoke when
plugged in for the first time. This will cease after a short while.
2. Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic protector from the base (if it has one) clean
the base with a soft cloth.
3. Keep the base very smooth. Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the ironing board, buttons,
zips, etc. )
4. Pure wool fibres (100% wool) can be ironed with the appliance in the steam position. by preference,
select a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth.
Selecting the temperature
1. Check the ironing instructions on the garment to be ironed.
2. If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question, use
the chart below.
3. Fabrics that have some kind of finish(polishing . wrinkles , contrasts….)can be ironed at the lowest
temperatures.
4. If the fabric contains several kinds of fibres ,always select the temperature applicable ,if an article
contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton ,you must always choose the temperature corresponding to
polyester and without steam.
5. First classify the articles to be ironed according to the most suitable ironing temperature : wool with
wool, cotton with cotton, etc. as the iron heats up as fast as it cools , start by ironing the articles requiring
the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibres. Progress towards those that require the
highest temperatures.
6. Turn the temperature control until it is in front of the appropriate signal according to the following:
· position for nylon and acetate
·· position for wool, silk or mixtures
··· position for cotton or linen (steam)
How to fill the water tank

4. Do not store the iron with water in the tank.
Steam ironing
1. Fill the iron as described in the section “how to fill the water tank”.
2. Plug the iron into the mains.
3. Steam ironing is only possible when the highest temperatures shown on the temperature control are
selected .
Otherwise ,water may escape through the soleplate.
4. Wait until the pilot light goes out, which indicates that the selected temperature has been reached.
5. Turn the steam button to the required position.
6. When the ironing is finished and during breaks in ironing, place the iron in its upright position.

Spry mist feature does not work
The water tank must be at least 1/4 full. Fill the iron as described in the section “how to fill the water tank”.
Iron is leaking
The variable steam dial must be set on” “,until the iron is hot . The temperature setting is too low to
