IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Only use iron for intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron to MIN setting before
plugging in or unplugging from the outlet.
Never pull on the cord to disconnect from
the electrical outlet; instead grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let
iron cool completely before putting away.
• Always disconnect iron from electric outlet
before filling with or emptying water,
cleaning, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the iron if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage to the iron or its cord, or if it’s
leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not dissemble the iron; take it to a
qualified service person for examination
and repair, or call the appropriate tollfree number on the cover of this manual.
Incorrect reassembly can cause 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 when
plugged in or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn the iron upside down - there
may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid
rapid movement of iron to minimize hot
water spillage.
• 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.
• 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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, a minimum 13-ampere cord
should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock due to overheating. 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 electrical 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, in
order to avoid a hazard, it should be replaced
by qualified personnel or in Latin America by
an authorized service center.

HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove the plastic band around the power plug and all labels, tags
and stickers attached to the body, cord, or soleplate of the iron.
• Remove and save literature.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. 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.
Tip: This iron is designed to use normal tap water. Do not use water
processed through a home softening system. If your water is very hard,
you can use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to avoid
build-up. It is not recommended to use water with perfumes or scented
additives.
2. Stand the iron on the heel rest.
3. To refill at any time during the ironing process, unplug the iron and
follow the above procedure.
USING YOUR IRON
1. Plug the iron into an outlet. The red Power light will illuminate on
the handle, indicating that the iron is heating.
2. Read the manufacturer's fabric label for clothing care
recommendations to help select the correct temperature setting.
Tip: Since it takes an iron longer to cool down than heat up,
organizing your clothing from Low to High temperature can cut down
your ironing time.
3. Select the temperature and steam level on the iron by turning the
SmartSteam™ dial until you’ve reached the desired setting.
A fabric guide is printed on the water tank for easy reference.
4. Allow the iron about 2 minutes to heat up to the desired
temperature.
Tip: To dry iron on low heat use SmartSteam™ settings 1–3, or for high
heat simply empty the water tank and follow the normal directions.
5. When finished ironing, turn the dial to the MIN setting and unplug
from the outlet.
6. Stand the iron on its heel rest and allow it to completely cool off
before storing.

SETTING GUIDE
For best results it’s recommended to use the manufacturer’s garment tags
for heat and steam instructions. When in doubt, always start at the low
heat setting.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
SmartSteam™ Technology
This technology gives you the control of both soleplate
heat and steam level in one dial. On traditional irons the
controls are separated, making it difficult to know what
settings are right for each fabric. These simple controls
take the guesswork out of ironing and ensure optimal
results every time. (A)

Spray Mist
Press the Spray Mist button to generate a light spray of water. Spray Mist
is used to dampen tough wrinkles while dry or steam ironing. This setting
works at any SmartSteam™ dial setting. Do not spray silk.

CLEANING AND CARE
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer to qualified service
personnel.
CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES
1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and has completely cooled.
2. Wipe the soleplate and outer surface with a soft, damp cloth. Water
and small amounts of gentle household soaps, such as dishwashing
liquid, can be used. Never use heavy-duty cleaners, vinegar or
abrasive scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.
3. After the iron has been thoroughly dried, turn the iron back on and
lightly steam over an old cloth. This will help remove any reside left
in the steam holes.
4. When finished cleaning, turn iron off and allow time to cool before storing.
STORING YOUR IRON
1. Check that the iron is on the MIN setting, unplugged
and completely cool.
2. Empty the water tank by opening the water fill door
and turning the iron upside down over a sink.
3. Wrap the cord loosely around the heel of the iron
and use the clip on the plug to clip the end of the
cord to the wrapped cord. (B)
4. Always store the iron vertically on its heel to prevent water leaking
from the soleplate.

IRONING TIPS AND TRICKS
• This iron is designed to use normal tap water. If your water is very hard,
you can use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to
avoid build-up. It is not recommended to use water with perfumes or
scented additives.
• Since it takes an iron longer to cool down than heat up, organizing
your clothing from Low to High temperature can cut down your
ironing time.
• Whenever temperature settings are changed, allow the iron to stand a
minute or two to allow heat up or cool down. Test garment by pressing
a small hidden area to make sure temperature of iron is correct.
• Whenever ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, read the garment’s
tag for detailed directions or select the fabric setting for the most
delicate fabric. For example, when ironing a shirt that is 65% cotton
and 35% polyester, use the polyester setting.
• If you’re unsure of the fabric’s content, test a small area (on the inside
seam or hem) before you proceed to iron the entire garment or cloth.
• If water dripping occurs, this means that the soleplate isn’t hot
enough to create steam. Just allow the iron a minute to reheat and
then resume ironing.
• To prevent iron marks on your fabric, iron the fabric inside out.
• Putting on your clothes right after ironing can actually create wrinkles.
Always allow your clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after ironing to
set the press.
