HOW TO USE

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove all labels, tags and stickers attached to the body, cord, or soleplate of the iron.

• Remove and save literature.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. With the iron on a flat surface, with the soleplate down or tilted at 45° angle, open the water-fill cover. (A)

2. Using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opening until water reaches the “MAX” level mark on the side of the water tank. Do not overfill. Close the water-fill cover securely.

Tip: This iron is designed to use normal tap water. If your water is very hard, you can use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to avoid build-up. It is not recommended to use water with perfumes or scented additives.

3. Stand the iron on the heel rest.

4. To refill at any time during the ironing process, unplug the iron and follow the above procedure.

USING YOUR IRON

1. Plug the iron into an outlet. The red Power/auto shut-off light will illuminate on the handle, indicating that the iron is heating.

2. Read the manufacturer's fabric label for clothing care recommendations to help select the correct temperature setting.

Tip: Since it takes an iron longer to cool down than heat up, organizing your clothing from Low to High temperature can cut down your ironing time.

3. Select the temperature and steam level on the iron by turning the SmartSteam™ dial until you’ve reached the desired setting. A fabric guide is printed on the water tank for easy reference.

4. Allow the iron about 2 minutes to heat up to the desired temperature.

Tip: To dry iron on low heat use SmartSteam™ settings 1–3, or for high heat simply empty the water tank and follow the normal directions. If emptying the tank, once preheated you may need to press the Burst of Steam button a few times to fully empty the water tank.

5. Iron as long as needed. Note that if the iron is left inactive, the 3-Way Auto Shut off Safety feature will activate. Please see Additional Features section for more details.

6. When finished ironing, turn the dial to the MIN setting and unplug from the outlet.

7. Stand the iron on its heel rest and allow it to completely cool off before storing.

SETTING GUIDE

For best results it’s recommended to use the manufacturer’s garment tags for heat and steam instructions. When in doubt, always start at the low heat setting.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Even Steam Soleplate Design

Your Vitessa™ Advanced Steam Iron features our Even Steam soleplate design. This soleplate was engineered to provide a more even flow of steam from heel to tip, enabling you to quickly tame wrinkles anywhere on your garment. (B)

SmartSteam™ Technology

This technology gives you the control of both soleplate heat and steam level in one dial. On traditional irons the controls are separated, making it difficult to know what settings are right for each fabric. These simple controls take the guesswork out of ironing and ensure optimal results every time. (C)

Burst of Steam

Press the burst of steam button to generate additional steam. For best performance, leave several seconds between bursts. This feature works on settings 4–6 on the SmartSteam™ dial.

Spray Mist

Press the Spray Mist button to generate a light spray of water. Spray Mist is used to dampen tough wrinkles while dry or steam ironing. This setting works at any SmartSteam™ dial setting. Do not spray silk.

3-way Auto Shut-Off

The iron will automatically switch to Auto Shut-Off mode and stop heating after being left inactive for 30 seconds on the soleplate or side, and 8 minutes on the heel rest. When the iron is in Auto Shut-Off mode, the red light on the handle will blink. Simply move the iron to resume ironing and the soleplate will automatically heat to selected temperature.

Vertical Steaming

Skip the ironing board and use your iron like a garment steamer for small touch-ups. This can also be used for curtains or drapes.

1. Start by following the instruction 1–4 in the “Using your Iron” section to heat the iron.

2. Once the iron is preheated, place your garment on a hanger and hang it in a location that would not be impacted by the steam

Tip: Shower rods in your bathroom are a great location.

3. Hold the garment tight from the base or side (being careful to keep your hand away from the steam) and hold the iron in the other hand.

4. Place the heated soleplate about an inch away from the fabric and press the Burst of Steam button on the handle. Allow a few seconds between bursts to avoid water dripping.

Tip: If water dripping occurs, that means the soleplate isn’t hot enough to create steam. Just allow the iron a minute to reheat and then resume steaming.

5. When finished steaming, turn the dial to the MIN setting and unplug from the outlet.

6. Stand iron on its heel rest and allow it to completely cool off before storing.

CLEANING AND CARE

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES

  1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and has completely cooled.
  2. Wipe the soleplate and outer surface with a soft, damp cloth. Water and small amounts of gentle household soaps, such as dishwashing liquid, can be used. Never use heavy-duty cleaners, vinegar or abrasive scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.
  3. After the iron has been thoroughly dried, turn the iron back on and lightly steam over an old cloth. This will help remove any reside left in the steam holes.
  4. When finished cleaning, turn iron off and allow time to cool before storing.

AUTO-CLEAN™ SYSTEM

Use this feature to keep the iron free of build-up. For optimal results over time, it is recommended that you clean your iron every 2-4 weeks. Homes with harder water should clean their iron more often, every 1-2 weeks.

  1. Fill the water tank well below the MAX fill line. Plug in the iron.
  2. Select the Wool Fabric setting (Number 5) on the SmartSteam™ dial and stand the iron on its heel while it preheats.
  3. Allow the iron to heat to desired temperature for about 2 minutes, then turn the dial to the MIN setting and unplug from the outlet.
  4. Hold iron over a sink with the soleplate facing down. Press the AutoClean™ button. Be careful, as hot water and steam will come out of the vents.
  5. Continue to hold the button down until all of the water has emptied. If necessary, slightly tilt the iron from side-to-side and front-to-back to aid the process.
  6. When finished, release the AutoClean™ button and place the iron on its heel rest. Allow the iron to completely cool before storing.

STORING YOUR IRON

  1. Check that the iron is on the MIN setting, unplugged and completely cool.
  2. Empty the water tank by opening the water fill door and turning the iron upside down over a sink.
  3. Wrap the cord loosely around the heel of the iron and use the clip on the plug to clip the end of the cord to the wrapped cord. (D)
  4. Always store the iron vertically on its heel to prevent water leaking from the soleplate.

IRONING TIPS AND TRICKS

  • This iron is designed to use normal tap water. If your water is very hard, you can use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to avoid build-up. It is not recommended to use water with perfumes or scented additives.
  • Since it takes an iron longer to cool down than heat up, organizing your clothing from Low to High temperature can cut down your ironing time.
  • Whenever temperature settings are changed, allow the iron to stand a minute or two to allow heat up or cool down. Test garment by pressing a small hidden area to make sure temperature of iron is correct.
  • Whenever ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, read the garment’s tag for detailed directions or select the fabric setting for the most delicate fabric. For example, when ironing a shirt that is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, use the polyester setting.
  • If you’re unsure of the fabric’s content, test a small area (on the inside seam or hem) before you proceed to iron the entire garment or cloth.
  • If water dripping occurs, this means that the soleplate isn’t hot enough to create steam. Just allow the iron a minute to reheat and then resume ironing.
  • To prevent iron marks on your fabric, iron the fabric inside out.
  • Putting on your clothes right after ironing can actually create wrinkles. Always allow your clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after ironing to set the press.
  • Did you know that you can use your iron like a garment steamer for touch-ups? See the vertical steaming section for more details.
  • Did you know you should be cleaning your iron at least once a month? See the Auto-Clean™ section for more details.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Cause Solution
The iron is plugged in, but the soleplate is not heating. Power supply issue. Check that the plug is properly inserted into the outlet or try plugging the iron into a different outlet.
Not enough steam or no steam is coming out of the iron.

SmartSteam™ setting selected is too low. Lower heat levels are not intended to have steam. Turn the SmartSteam™ Dial to settings 4–6 to iron with steam.
Not enough water in the water tank. Follow the instructions under the “filling the water tank” section and fill to Max level marker.
Iron is not preheated. If the iron isn’t fully preheated to the desired setting, the anti-drip feature will prevent the iron from creating steam. Allow the iron additional time to heat
Discolored water is coming through the holes and staining the fabric

Residue build-up in the soleplate cavity or in the soleplate holes. Empty the water tank after each use and use the Auto-Clean™ function to clean your iron regularly.
Use of descaling agents, perfumed or scented additives. Use the Auto-Clean™ function to clean your iron and refrain from using descaling agents, perfumed or scented additives.
Use of Starch. Always clean your soleplate after using starch and use the AutoClean™ function to clean your iron regularly
Pure distilled water or softened water is being used. Use only untreated tap water or a mix of half tap and half distilled water. Use the Auto-Clean™ function to clean your iron regularly.
Iron is leaking or spitting
Overuse of the Burst of Steam button. Allow more time between bursts of steam for the iron to get back to desired temperature.
SmartSteam™ setting is too low. The lower temperature settings are not meant to steam. Either turn the SmartSteam™ dial to settings 4–6 or use spray mist instead for additional moisture.
