2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opening until the water reaches

the MAX level mark on the water tank. Do not overfill.

stopped heating.

• As soon as you pick up the iron, it will start heating again. Wait for iron to

reheat completely before resuming operation.

Anti-Drip System

The anti-drip system prevents water spotting at low temperatures.

IRONING WITH STEAM

Smart Steam

TM

Technology

The Smart Steam

TM

system automatically generates the right amount of steam for the fabric

type selected. Once you select the temperature, the Smart Steam

TM

technology detects the

temperature and adjusts the steam power accordingly.

Surge of Steam

Use to remove stubborn wrinkles.

1. With the water tank filled to the MAX mark, set fabric select dial to appropriate setting (between

4 and 6) for your fabric.

2. Be sure there is water in the tank. Steam is automatically turned off between settings 0 and 3.

3. Press the steam button to generate a surge of steam. For best performance, leave an interval

of 5 seconds between bursts.

4. When finished ironing, turn the fabric select dial to 0 and unplug the iron.

Important: Always stand the iron on its heel rest when powered on but not in use.

Vertical Steam

Use for removing wrinkles from hanging clothes and drapes.

1. Be sure the water tank is filled to the MAX mark.

2. Hang the garment to be steamed on a clothes hanger. (Curtains or drapes can be steamed once

they are hung.)

3. Turn the fabric select dial to appropriate setting (between 4 and 6) for your fabric.

4. Hold the iron close to (but not touching) the fabric.

5. Pull the fabric tight in your free hand and pump the steam button as you move the iron over the

fabric.

Important: Always stand the iron on its heel rest when powered on, but not in use.

USING SPRAY

Use to dampen tough wrinkles at any setting.

1. Be sure the iron is filled with water.

2. On first use, pump the spray button several times.

IRONING WITHOUT STEAM

1. Turn the fabric select dial to setting between settings 0 and 3 to iron without steam. The Smart

Steam

TM

system will automatically turn off.

2. To dry iron at higher settings, empty the water from the tank to prevent steaming.

CARE AND CLEANING

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

CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES

1. Make sure iron is unplugged and has cooled completely.

2. Wipe soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water.

3. Add mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring

pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.

4. After cleaning, steam iron over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents.

AUTO CLEAN

TM

SYSTEM

To keep steam vents free of any buildup, about once a month follow these instructions.

1. Fill water tank well below the MAX line. Plug in the iron.

2. Turn fabric select dial to 6 and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow it to heat

3. Turn fabric select dial to 0, unplug the iron and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.

4. Press and hold the AUTO CLEAN

TM

button. Be careful, as after several seconds, hot water and

steam will come out of the steam vents. Continue to hold the AUTO CLEAN

TM

button until all the

water has emptied. If necessary, rock iron side to side and front to back.

5. When finished, release the button, stand the iron on its heel rest and plug

it in.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, includ-

ing the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

• Use iron only for its intended use.

• 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 (min) setting before plugging

or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead

grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting

away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying,

and when not in use.

• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord, or if the iron has been dropped or

damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take

it to a qualified service person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate

toll-free number on the cover of this manual. 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 iron unattended while connected 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 the surge of steam—there may

be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water

spillage.

• 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 have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The iron must be used and rested 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 is visible signs of

damage or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the

same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord rate at 15-ampere cord should

be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to

arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the

risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of

the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
