Conair DPP1500C SERIES User Manual

If you need to clean the iron, unplug and allow to cool. Use a slightly
damp cloth and wipe down the outside of the iron. Do not use
cleaning agents or place the iron in water or cleaning fluids.

Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.
Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use verti­cal Burst of Steam – there may be hot water in the water tank.
Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize water spillage.

When using Burst of Steam, always direct the steam vents away
from your body and others.

Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
Do not use iron outdoors.
This product is for household use only, not for commercial or

industrial use.

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 15-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug and CUL,
CSA or NOM approval should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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 defeat this safety feature.

Clothing Iron Unique Features

This iron has been designed with some new features
not previously available on steam irons. Please take
some time to familiarize yourself with them:

Electronic OneTouch™ Control

This control system provides precision temperature control to greatly
improve fabric-pressing performance.

On/Off Button: Powers the appliance On or Off. Also used to activate Crafters

Setting.

Heat Selector Buttons: Use to select the heat setting. After plugging the iron in, touch
one of these buttons to automatically heat the iron to the correct temperature for that set­ting. The three settings correspond to internationally accepted temperatures for a range
of fabrics. These symbols may be found on the fabric care label of your garment.

One Dot (Low): Acrylic-Nylon
Two Dots (Medium) : Silk, Rayon, Polyester
Three Dots (High): Wool, Cotton and Linen

Auto Off Indicator: Lights blink when iron has not been moved and the heater has
shut down. This indicator will blink when iron is in Crafter’s Setting (heel rest/auto
shutoff bypass).

SolSoleplate Ready Indicator: Illuminates when iron has reached set temperature
to safely press your fabric.

Steam Ready Indicator: Illuminates when the iron has reached the correct temperature
to produce steam without dripping.

4-way Automatic Shutoff

This iron will shut down if left motionless on its heel, on its side, face
down or if dropped. The iron will beep three times. If dropped, the
iron will continuously beep and the display will flash. Unplug, and

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing for first use

Before first use, remove all labels from soleplate and housing. Before
you use the iron to press fabrics for the first time, heat it to the highest
temperature setting without adding any water (see “selecting fabric
settings”), then turn the iron off and allow to cool.

1. Fill the water tank

a. Press the water tank release button on the side of the iron;
pull the tank away from the body of the iron.
b. Open the fill door.
c. Hold the tank under faucet and fill until water reaches the
“MAX” line.
d. Wipe off any excess water on the outside of the tank, and
close the fill door. Reattach to the body of the iron. Be sure the

tank snaps into place and is secure.

2. Set the iron on a stable, flat surface when selecting the settings. We
recommend using a quality ironing board for the pressing surface. Be
sure to give yourself enough room to maneuver the iron when pressing.

3. Plug the iron into a 120V electrical receptacle. Make sure there are
not any other high wattage appliances plugged into the same circuit.

4. Press the power on/off button. The iron will automatically heat
to the lowest setting (Acrylic).

Vertical Steam

This iron will help remove wrinkles and freshen garments on hangers,
or draperies, with vertical bursts of steam.

11. Hang the item that you want to steam-treat.

12. Set the iron to the highest setting.

13. Set the variable steam knob to the maximum setting.

14. Hold the iron with the soleplate facing the fabric, but not
touching it.

15. Press the Burst of Steam button. Make sure the steam penetrates
the fabric. Repeat until the wrinkles have been removed or the fabric
has been freshened to your taste. When you have finished pressing
or vertical steaming, press the on/off button and unplug the iron.
Be sure to allow the iron to cool completely before storing in a
cabinet or drawer.

Self-Clean System

WARNING Operating the Self Clean feature will cause

hot water and steam to come out of the soleplate. Hold over sink and
away from the body, as instructed below.

1. Fill the iron to the max fill level with tap water.

2. Place iron on the heel rest.

3. Plug the iron into a 120V outlet.

4. Set temperature to maximum.

5. When iron indicates that the temperature is ready, unplug the
iron and hold over the sink with the soleplate facing down.

6. Move the variable steam control to the Self Clean position, press
and hold for 30 seconds.

7. Gently tilt the iron back and forth.
USE CAUTION IN THE NEXT STEP as the soleplate and flushed
water and deposits will be very hot.

8. After 30 seconds of Self Clean activation, release the Self Clean
control and place iron on its heel rest.

9. Unplug Iron.

10. With a clean soft cloth, wipe soleplate clean of water and
flushed deposits.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Iron does not heat

• Make sure that the iron is plugged in and turned on. Make sure
to select a fabric.

• The automatic shutoff may have activated: move the iron to reset
and begin heating.

Iron does not steam

• The iron will only produce steam at the highest settings (Wool,
Cotton, Linen). Make sure the iron is set to one of those.

• The variable steam control must not be set to the “no steam“ setting.
Move the variable steam control to one of the steam settings.

• Make sure the water tank is full.

• After many months of use in a very hard water environment, the
steam chamber can become clogged with hard mineral deposits;
which may block steam production. Follow the self-clean procedure
to eliminate some of the deposits from the steam chamber.

Water leaks from the soleplate

• Make sure that you are using the Burst of Steam in the highest set­ting. If not, the iron will not be hot enough to produce steam.

• When storing the iron turn the variable steam knob to “no steam”
setting. Try to store the iron sitting on the heel rest.

Iron is flashing and beeping

• Unplug and inspect for damage

• If there is no damage, plug iron in and iron will operate normally.
