When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including 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 “Off” before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from 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 the 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 serviceman for examination and repair. 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- there may be hot water in the reservoir.

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 10-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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Soft-Touch Parts Note: The soft-touch parts of this unit are free of natural rubber and latex.

They are safe for individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into 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 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 outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Repair should be done only

by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use

This appliance is intended for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron. Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home

softening system Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before beginning to iron.

Filling Water Tank

1. Open the water-fill cover as shown in (A).

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 (B). Do not overfill.

3. Close the water-fill cover.

Note: If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron and follow above steps.

4. Plug in the iron. The iron beeps and digital display window illuminates green.

Selecting Temperature

1. Read garment's label to help you determine fabric type. Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside seam or hem) before

ironing.

2. Once you determine the fabric type, turn fabric-select dial to appropriate temperature setting (from 1 to 6).

Tip: As a guide, the digital display shows the setting number with the corresponding recommended fabric type.

3. Once the iron reaches the selected temperature, it beeps and

displays READY (C).

3-Way Automatic Shutoff

The automatic shutoff feature in your iron works as follows:

• Once the iron reaches appropriate temperature, it will turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity if left on its soleplate or tipped over on its side. If left vertically on its heel rest, it will shut off after 8 minutes (D).

• The unit beeps three times and AUTO OFF flashes on the digital

display window to let you know the iron has stopped heating (E).

• After a few minutes, the digital display light goes off.

• If you pick up the iron, it activates an internal motion sensitive detector and the iron will start heating again. You might have to move the iron or shake it gently. The digital display light comes on and the set temperature is displayed again.

Note: Wait for iron to reheat completely before resuming operation.

Smart Steam™Technology

The Smart Steam

™

system generates steam only at higher

temperature settings (between 4 and 6) (F). Once you select the temperature, the Smart Steam

™

technology detects the set temperature and adjusts the steam power accordingly. The higher the setting, the more powerful the steam.

Surge of Steam

• Horizontal

Use to remove stubborn creases.

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

(between 4 and 6) for your fabric. Read garment's label to help you determine fabric type.

Note: Steam is automatically turned off between settings 1 and 3.

2. Once you select the appropriate setting, wait for iron to beep

and display READY.

3. Press the surge-of-steam button to generate a burst of steam

(G). For best performance, leave an interval of 5 seconds between bursts.

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

• Vertical

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

4. Wait for iron to beep and display READY.

5. Hold the iron close to, but not touching, the fabric.

6. Pull the fabric tight in your free hand and pump the surge-of-steam button as you move the iron over the fabric (H).

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 (J).

1. Be sure the iron is filled with water.

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

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

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

Dry Ironing

1. Turn the fabric-select dial to setting 1, 2, or 3 to iron without steam (K). The Smart Steam

™

system will automatically turn off

and there will not be any steam generated.

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

Emptying Water Tank (Optional)

Note: It is not necessary to empty the water after each use.

1. Unplug the iron and let it cool.

2. To release the water, hold the iron over a sink with the tip

pointing down. Water will empty out of the water-fill hole (L).

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. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water. Add mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.

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

Auto Cleaning

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

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

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

3. Wait for the iron to beep and READY to display on the digital window.

4. Unplug the iron and hold over a sink with the soleplate facing down.

5. Press and hold the AUTO CLEAN

button. Be careful, as hot

water and steam will come out of the steam vents (M). Continue to hold the auto-clean button until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock iron side to side and front to back.

6. When finished, release the button, stand the iron on its heel rest and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water.

Storing your Iron

1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool.

2. Store vertically on its heel to prevent water leaking from the soleplate. You can wrap the cord around the smart stand for storage (N).
