SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS  
This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do  
not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.  
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13 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.  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the  
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the  
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to  
defeat this safety feature.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
This product is for household use only.

Using Your Iron  
Note: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the soleplate  
steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric from residue  
possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. To do this, see  
FLUSHING.  
For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam  
setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or consult the  
enclosed garment care tips pamphlet for additional information.  
To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to  
first iron garments that require low temperature. If you should need  
to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example  
Linen to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower  
temperature.  
Tips: If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low  
setting and test the iron on an area of the garment that does not  
show, such as a seam. Gradually increase the heat setting until  
wrinkles remove without damaging the fabric.  
To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the  
steaming iron horizontally 2 inches above the fabric for a gentle  
steaming. Make sure the iron does not come in contact with the fabric.  
To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate  
or rayon inside out.

Using As A Dry Iron  
The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the  
tank, however it is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while  
dry ironing.  
1. Position temperature control dial to OFF.  
2. Turn the variable steam dial to OFF.  
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe  
surface and plug it in.  
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting.  
5. When the ready light turns off, the iron has reached the desired  
temperature.  
6. When finished, turn temperature control dial to OFF and unplug.  
Allow the iron to cool before cleaning the exterior or storing.  
Note: During ironing, the ready light may turn on again which indicates  
that the iron is heating up to maintain the proper temperature.  
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO  
NOT fill it with water.  
Using As A Steam Iron  
1. Position temperature control dial to OFF.  
2. Position the variable steam dial to OFF.  
3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water.  
(See FILLING THE WATER TANK instructions.)  
4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe  
surface and plug in.

4.  
 
5. Turn the temperature control dial to desired setting.  
6. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to reach the desired  
temperature. (The ready light will turn off.)  
7. Turn the variable steam dial clockwise to the desired amount of  
steam. As soon as the iron is held horizontally, steam will flow  
through the vents. If the iron does not steam, gently tap the  
soleplate on the ironing surface. Placing the iron on its heel in  
an upright position interrupts the flow of steam.  
8. When finished, turn temperature control dial to OFF and  
variable steam dial to OFF, and unplug. Allow to cool before  
cleaning the exterior of the iron and storing.  
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: Avoid coming in contact with escaping  
steam.  
Filling The Water Tank  
1. Unplug the iron before filling.  
2. Turn the variable steam dial to OFF.  
3. Hold the iron in the horizontal position (see Figure 2).  
4. Using a measuring cup, slowly pour water into the water fill  
opening (see Figure 2).  
5. Check see-through water tank to see if iron is filled to maximum  
fill line (see Figure 3). Note: Your iron is designed to use tap water. DO  
NOT use water from home water softening systems because such water may  
contain minerals that may harm the iron.  
5.  
 
Emptying The Water Tank  
The water tank should be emptied after each use. To do so:  
1. Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.  
2. While the iron is still warm, hold the iron over a sink and allow the  
iron to drain by tipping the point of the iron down.  
3. Gently shake the iron to loosen any water drops that may be  
trapped. The warmth of the iron should dry out any remaining  
water. Note: If you empty the water tank after the iron has cooled, set the  
iron in an upright position on its heel, plug it in and set the temperature  
dial to maximum heat for 2 minutes. Turn temperature control dial to OFF  
and variable steam dial to OFF, and unplug. Let iron cool before storing it.  
Flushing  
Flushing the iron is advised after every 5 usages to prevent harmful  
mineral build-up that can clog the iron and prevent it from heating  
and steaming properly. To flush the iron:  
1. Position temperature control dial to OFF.  
2. Turn variable steam dial to OFF.  
3. Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum fill line.  
4. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control dial to Linen. Let  
it heat for 2 minutes.  
5. Turn the variable steam dial clockwise to the MAX setting.  
6. Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.  
7. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing steam  
to flow through the vents until the water tank is emptied.  
8. Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate.  
9. When finished, turn temperature control dial to OFF and variable  
steam dial to OFF and unplug. Allow iron to cool before cleaning  
the exterior of the iron or storing. Use a cloth to wipe off exterior  
of iron before storing.

Storing The Iron  
Remove the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug rather than  
pulling the cord, and allow iron to cool. EMPTY the water tank after  
each use, then wrap the cord around the cooled iron. Allow the iron  
to COOL COMPLETELY before putting it away. To protect the  
soleplate, place the iron in an upright position on its heel.  
User Maintenance Instructions  
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user  
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to a qualified  
appliance repair techinician if servicing is needed.  
Care And Cleaning  
CAUTION: Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before  
cleaning the exterior of the iron and storing. Never immerse an  
appliance in water.  
To protect the soleplate from scratching, avoid ironing over snaps,  
zippers, metal buttons, etc. Also, do not place the iron on metal or  
rough surfaces. If starch or other residues cling to the soleplate, use  
hot iron cleaner according to directions. Hot Iron Cleaner is available  
at mass merchandise, discount or hardware stores.  
A “home remedy” for cleaning starch or other material buildup on  
the soleplate is as follows:  
1. Unplug the iron and allow to cool completely.  
2. Mix together 4 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon water.  
3. Apply mixture to the soleplate with a soft cloth.  
4. Clean mixture off with a water dampened clean cloth, dry  
thoroughly. Note: DO NOT put any chemical cleaning agents or solvents  
in the water tank.
