User manual

Before first use
• Before using your iron with steam for the first time, we recommend that you
plug in and heat the iron, hold it in a horizontal position away from the fabric
to be ironed and press the
Burst of steam button several times.
• During the first few uses, the iron may give off a harmless odor and smoke. This
has no effect on the iron and will disappear quickly.
What type of water should be used?
• Your iron has been designed to function with untreated tap water. Ho-
wever, due to the natural minerals found in tap water, it is recommen-
ded that you clean the iron once a month using the self cleaning method
(on page 4).
• Never use any of the following water types since they may cause spit-
ting, brown staining or premature aging of your iron: 100% purified
water (bottled water), water from clothes dryers, scented water, softe-
ned water, water from refrigerators, water from batteries, water from air
conditioners, distilled water, rain water, boiled or filtered water, etc.
Use
Filling the water tank
• Unplug your iron before filling it and set the steam control lever to (fig 1).
• Place the iron in a horizontal position and fill it with water (
fig 2).
Adjusting the temperature and the steam
• Adjust the temperature (see table below) by turning the temperature
control dial to the temperature select position (
fig 3).
• When the iron is plugged in, the temperature control light will remain
“on” until the temperature is reached (
fig 4). Once the temperature is
reached, the temperature control light will go “off”.
• Adjust the amount of continuous steam output by moving the steam
control lever (
fig 5). See table below for recommended steam output
levels.
• Your iron heats up quickly, therefore, begin ironing with fabrics that are
ironed at lower temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher
temperature.
Please read these instruc-
tions carefully and keep them
for future reference.
Remove any labels, stickers or
h
angtags from the body or
soleplate of the iron before
plugging it in.
Do not exceed the “MAX” fill
level as indicated on the
water tank of the iron.
Never fill the iron under the
tap water.
If you have very hard water, it is
recommended that you mix tap
water with purified (bottled)
water in the following ratio:
- 50% tap water / 50% purified
(bottled) water.
This will reduce the amount of
lime scale build-up in your
iron and reduce the number
of times you will need to
clean your iron.
It is normal for the temperature
indicator light to turn on and
off during ironing.
- In order to avoid water
leaking from the soleplate
onto your garment:
Set the steam lever to when
ironing silk or synthetic fabrics.
Should you need to lower the
temperature, wait until the
temperature light comes back
on before beginning to iron
again.
- When ironing fabrics with
mixed fabrics, set the iron
temperature for the most
delicate fabric.
- For delicate fabrics,
we recommend test ironing a
small area in an inconspicuous
place (for example, inside the
hem).
