IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
4. The iron should always be set to Standby/Off icon on the fabric setting button
before unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet;
instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Before using for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the
SOLEPLATE. Clean the SOLEPLATE with a soft cloth.
6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Allow iron to cool completely before putting
away. Wrap cord loosely around iron when storing.
7. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying
iron and when not in use.
8. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron. Incorrect reassembly
can cause a risk of electrical shock when the iron is used. Contact Customer Service
Department (see back cover), to return for examination and repair.
9. 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.
10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn a steam iron upside down as there may be hot water in the
reservoir.
11. When you have finished ironing or when leaving the iron even for short periods:
– Set the ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL to the “No Steam” position, and press the
fabric setting button to Standby/Off icon.
– Stand the iron upright on its HEEL REST and unplug iron from electrical outlet.
NOTE: the soleplate may become damaged if the iron is stored with the soleplate
facing downward.
12. This product is intended for household use only.

Consumer Safety Information
THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD ONLY
BE SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.
Special Instructions
This is a 1400 watt 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 15-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.
Your iron is designed to rest on the HEEL REST. Do not leave the iron unattended
while it is ON. Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its
HEEL REST.
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. If the plug fits loosely into the AC
outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

BEFORE FIRST USE
During first use of the iron, the iron may appear to “smoke”. This will stop and does
not indicate a defect or hazard. Steam Vents should be cleared before first use to
remove any remaining residue from the manufacturing process and to ensure that
no stain is transferred to the fabric the first time the iron is used. To clear steam
vents:
1. Turn the Adjustable Steam Control to the “No Steam” position.
2. Fill with water to the “Max” fill line.
NOTE: Overfilling the iron may cause the iron to spill water during use. Do not
overfill Tank and never fill with anything but water.
3. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Pressing the Fabric Setting Button
select the highest setting “Linen”.
4. Let the iron preheat for 2 minutes while sitting on the Heel Rest.
5. Turn the Adjustable Steam Control to the Heavy Steam setting.
6. Pass the iron over an old cloth, letting the iron steam for a few minutes.
NOTE: Any iron may spit or sputter during the first uses with tap water. As the
steam chamber becomes conditioned, this occurrence will stop.

HOW TO USE YOUR DIGITAL IRON
6. The iron is now ready for dry ironing.
7. Use the Spray Button if moisture is needed.
Spray Feature
If fabrics are too dry, or have stubborn creases or wrinkles, the spray feature can
be used to moisten the area for smoother ironing.
1. Be sure that the iron is filled with water.
2. Press the Spray Button while the iron is in the horizontal position, a fine spray
of water will emit from the Spray Nozzle.
NOTE: It may be necessary to push the Spray Button a few times before spray
starts.
Burst/Vertical Burst Feature
The Burst of Steam Button provides an extra blast of steam. This feature helps with
pleats and removing stubborn wrinkles.
1. Be sure that the iron is filled with water.
2. When the Cotton or Linen fabric setting is selected, the Steam Guide Icon will
appear when the Iron is ready for the Burst of Steam feature to be used.
3. Using the Fabric Setting Button select the Cotton or Linen setting. It may be
necessary to pump the Burst Button several times to start Burst for the first
time at each ironing session.
NOTE: This feature will operate as long as the Cotton or Linen setting is selected. If
the temperature setting is too low, water may drip from the Soleplate. Allow 5
seconds between uses of the Burst feature to prevent water spotting.
Automatic Shut-Off Feature
The Auto Shut-Off feature will turn your iron off after the iron has been plugged in
and on for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, when the Auto Shut-Off feature has
activated, the Fabric Setting Button Light will start to flash. It will not stop flashing
until the Fabric Setting Button is pressed to restart the iron or if the iron is
unplugged.
To reset your iron, simply push the Fabric Setting Button on the Handle to turn the
unit back on.
Self Clean Feature
It is recommended to use the Self Clean feature after every 5 uses to prevent mineral
build up that can clog the iron and prevent it from heating and steaming properly.
1. Turn the variable steam dial to "No Steam" setting.
2. Fill the water tank to the MAX fill line.
3. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control to its highest setting (Linen).
Allow iron to heat for 2 minutes.
4. Turn the variable steam Dial to " " for the Self Clean setting.
5. Place a towel over the ironing surface.
6. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing the steam to flow
through the vents until the water tank is emptied; you may also press the Burst
button several times remembering to pause about 5 seconds between bursts
to allow the iron to reheat.
7. Unplug when finished. Allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron
or storing. Use a damp cloth and wipe off exterior of iron before storing, handling
or cleaning.

CARING FOR YOUR IRON
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE IRON IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
Emptying and Storing your Iron
1. Deselect the fabric settings and turn the Steam Control Dial to the “No Steam”
position.
2. Unplug the iron and allow to cool.
3. To empty water from the iron, make sure the Water Door is opened and slowly
tilt the pointed end over the sink and turn upside down. The water will run out
of the Water Fill Opening.
4. Wrap cord loosely around cool iron and store in an upright position. Wrapping
the cord too tightly can damage the cord.
5. Do not store the iron laying flat. Any small amount of moisture or residue may
cause the Soleplate to discolor.
Caring and Cleaning the Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, snaps, buttons, or metal rivets as these may
scratch the Soleplate.
2. To clean the Soleplate of occasional build-up, wipe cool iron with a sudsy cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
Helpful Hints
1. Sort items to be ironed according to their required temperature settings. Begin
ironing at the lower settings and increase temperature as needed. If you are in
doubt about what temperature to use, start at a low temperature setting and
iron an inside seam. Gradually increase the heat and steam settings until
wrinkles are removed with out damaging the fabric.
2. When changing from a high temperature setting to a lower temperature
setting allow approximately 3-10 minutes for the lower temperature to be
reached.
NOTE: When Dry Ironing; it will take longer for the iron to cool down to a lower
setting. For example, if the iron is first set at Linen and then changed to Silk, it may
take 10-15 minutes for the iron to drop to the selected temperature.
When Steam Ironing, the temperature will descend faster because the water helps
to cool down the iron.
The following chart is designed to help you select the best setting and method for
the fabric you intend to iron. Check garment labels and follow recommendations
provided by the fabric manufacturer.
