3. Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet. 4. Set variable steam control to “MAX”. 5. Turn the iron upside down over the sink with the tip pointing downward and allow the water to flow from the opening. 6. Set variable steam control to “0”. 7. Allow iron to cool in an upright position before storing. WARNING! Use caution when emptying the iron. Burns may occur from touching hot metal surfaces, hot water or steam. In order to remove calcium and built-up particles, the self-cleaning system should be run at least once a month. (Fig. 9) • Fill the water flask provided to the half-full mark and then pour into the water reservoir. • Set the variable steam control to the no steam position (“0”). • Insert the plug into the wall socket. • Set the temperature control dial to the maximum temperature. • Wait until the temperature indicator light goes off and steam iron has reached preset temperature. • Remove the plug from the wall socket. • Hold the steam iron horizontally over a sink. • Place the variable steam control lever to “Self-Clean” position. Hot water and steam will be emitted from the soleplate. Swing the steam iron lightly back and forth gently to allow lime and dust particles to come out. • When the water reservoir is empty, slide the variable steam control lever from “Self- Clean” position to “0”. • Stand the iron upright and insert the plug into the wall socket to let the iron heat up again. • Move the iron over a clean cotton cloth to clean the soleplate and let the remaining water on the soleplate evaporate. SELF CLEANINGNOTE: The anti drip function reduces water dripping and water stains. It does not prevent water dripping and water stains if you press the steam burst button too often or if the temperature is too low. The amount of water droplets will eventually decrease after the iron is used for 2 to 3tankfulsof steaming and ironing. Fig. 9 3. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V AC electrical outlet. Fig. 2 All marked settings on the temperature dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide the variable steam control lever to the “0” position as shown in Figure 1. This will cut off the steam flow if water is in the tank.1. Turn temperature dial to "MIN" and slide the variable steam control lever all the way to " 0". 2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V AC electrical outlet. The temperature indicator light will come on, indicating that the iron is receiving power. 3. Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. (See "Ironing Guide" for a guide to temperature selection.) 4. Place iron on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) while iron is warming to desired temperature. 5. When the desired temperature is reached, the temperature light will go “Off”. Fig. 1For Dry Ironing: Text Box: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5 4. Turn the temperature dial to any of the temperatures within the steam band and allow the iron to heat for approximately 2 minutes before ironing. Place iron on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) while the iron is warming to desired temperature. 5. Slide the variable steam control lever up to increase the amount of steam. When using extra steam, the iron uses more water and it may be necessary to fill the tank more often. See page 4. BURST OF STEAM WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injuries may occur. The burst-of-steam button is useful when ironing denim, cotton, and linens. It provides extra, sudden blasts of steam which aid in removing stubborn wrinkles. The burst-of-steam feature can be used with Dry or Steam ironing as desired. 1. Make sure the water tank is at least 1/2 filled with water. NOTE: If the tank runs dry, remove the plug from wall outlet. Then, fill the iron with water and re-prime the pump. The iron may be filled with water while it is hot. WATER SPRAY The water spray is useful on fabrics with stubborn wrinkles. Press the spray button and a jet of water wil spray onto the fabric being ironed. (Fig. 5) The water spray can be used with dry or steam ironing as desired. 2. Set the temperature dial to the "Max" position. Place the iron on its heel (on a stable, protected surface) and allow it to heat for approximately 2 minutes. 3. With the iron in a horizontal position, press the burst of steam button several times to prime the pump. (Fig. 4) 6 Fig. 5 VERTICAL STEAM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSELECTING IRON TEMPERATURESAlways read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions. Refer to the "Ironing Chart" on page 10 for temperature recommendations: • Use low settings for synthetics. •• Use moderate settings for wool, silks, and blends. ••• Use high settings for cottons and linens. IRONING HINTSWARNING! To prevent fire, do not leave iron unattended while connected. • Sort articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will reduce the need to adjust the temperature for different types of garments. • If you are not sure of the fiber cont...
