outlet only.
Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.

• Temperature setting too low.
Turn to higher setting.

• This is normal.
The light goes On and Off as the thermostat is
switching the heating element On and Off to
maintain the selected temperature.

• This is normal.

Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam
through 2-3 fillings & press the steam burst button
occasionally to eliminate small white particles.

• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low.

Add water.

• Make sure that the temperature control dial and

the variable steam control are correctly set. For
maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control),
temperature control dial should be set on ‘•••’.

• Adjustable steam control is set on “0”.

Always allow the iron to reach the selected
temperature with the adjustable steam control setting
at ‘0’. Make sure the temperature control dial is set in
the correct steam area, e.g. ‘•’, and the steam control is
not

on ‘0’. For more steam, turn temperature dial to

higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’, and the steam control to ‘Max’.

• If temperature setting and steam control setting are

correct and there is no steam, gently
soleplate on the ironing board a few times. Move
the variable steam control from ‘0’ to ‘Max’ a few
times.

• Iron may not be hot enough. Set thermostat to the

‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient time to
heat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating
the variable steam control.

• Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time between

each burst.

• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,empty

water and follow instructions for filling.

• Steam performance may be low if iron requires

seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2
tanks until steam performance improves.

When using your iron, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully.

2. Use iron only for its intended use.

3. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids. Always turn
the iron to “OFF” before plugging in
or unplugging from outlet.

4. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet. Grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.

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

6. Always disconnect iron from
electrical outlet when filling with
water, emptying, or when not in use.

7. Do not operate iron with a damaged
cord, or after the iron has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble the iron. Return
the iron to the nearest service facility
for examination and repair. Incorrect

reassembly can cause the risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. This appliance is for household

use only.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

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

2. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, use a 13-ampere cord.
Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat. Use care to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.

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 no attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
