READ THIS MANUAL

Inside you will ﬁnd many helpful hints on how to use and maintain your iron properly. Just a little preventive care on your part can save you a great deal of time and money over the life of your iron.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE IRON.

2. Use iron only for its intended use.

3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

4. The iron should always be turned off (“OFF” on the TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL) before plugging or unplugging from an outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect it from an outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull the plug to disconnect.

5. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Allow the iron to cool completely before putting it away. Wrap the cord loosely around the iron when storing.

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

7. 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 Magic Chef’s Customer Service Department (see back cover), to return for examination and repair.

8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the 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 iron upside down as there may be hot water in the reservoir.

10. The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the wall outlets. When you have ﬁnished ironing or when leaving the iron even for short periods:

THIS UNIT IS INTENDED

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the iron.

The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not immerse in water or other liquids. No liability can be accepted for any damage cause by noncompliance with these instructions or any other improper use or mishandling.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

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.

HOW TO USE YOUR IRON

IMPORTANT: CLEAN BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME!

See the CARE AND CLEANING section for more information. During ﬁrst use of the iron, the appliance 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 residue remaining from the manufacturing process and to ensure that no stain is transferred to fabric the ﬁrst time the iron is used.

TO CLEAR STEAM VENTS

1. Make sure iron is unplugged from power outlet.

2. Turn ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL to “NO STEAM” “ ” position.

3. Fill iron with water to the “MAX” ﬁll line. Overﬁlling the iron may cause the iron to spill water during use.

NOTE: Do not overﬁll the WATER TANK and never ﬁll with anything but water.

4. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet, and set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to its highest setting “LINEN”.

5. Let the iron preheat for 2 minutes while sitting on the HEEL REST.

6. Turn ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL clockwise to the heavy steam setting .

7. Press the iron over an old cloth, and let it steam for a few minutes. The iron may spit or sputter during the ﬁrst uses with tap water. As the Steam Chamber becomes conditioned, this occurrence will stop.

FILLING WATER TANK

1. Disconnect the iron power cord from electical outlet before ﬁlling the tank.

2. Set the ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL to NO STEAM “ ” position so that the water enters directly into the tank and in order to avoid spillage.

3. To ﬁll the tank, remove ﬁll cap and pour water into water ﬁll hole.

NOTE: Do not overﬁll the water tank.

4. The water level can be seen through the water tank. If the iron needs more water during use, ﬁrst unplug iron from electrical outlet, then ﬁll with the iron in a vertical position.

IRONING TIPS

1. Sort items to be ironed according to the temperature settings they require. Begin ironing at the lower settings and increase temperature as needed. If in doubt about what temperature to use for any fabric, start at a low temperature setting and iron on an inside seam allowance. Gradually increase the heat and steam settings until wrinkles are removed without damaging the fabric.

2. When changing from a high temperature setting to a lower setting allow approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.

SPRAY FUNCTION

Be sure the iron is ﬁlled with water. If fabrics are too dry, or have stubborn creases or wrinkles, the spray feature can be used to moisten the area. When the SPRAY BUTTON is pressed (while the iron is in the horizontal position), a ﬁne spray of water will emit from SPRAY NOZZLE at front. It may be necessary to push the SPRAY BUTTON a few times before spray starts.

DRY IRONING

Sort items to be ironed according to the temperature settings on garment labels. Put the iron in a vertical position, set the ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL to NO STEAM “ ” and TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL in a level suitable for the garments.

Begin ironing with garments that require a lower settings (synthetic fabrics and silk) and gradually increase heat to iron garments that require higher temperatures.

When changing from a high temperature setting to a lower setting, allow approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.

STEAM IRONING

Plug in the iron after ﬁlling the water tank, set the ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL to desired amount of steam, according to the desired temperature. Put the iron in a vertical position, after the temperature indicator light has turned off, press the steam button.
