1 ) Use iron only for its intended use. 2 ) To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. 3 ) The iron should always be turned to “Off” before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never tug cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect. 4 ) Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing. 5 ) Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use. 6 ) Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used. 7 ) Do not allow children to use iron. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board. 8 ) 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. 9 ) If the LED flashes orange (not red or green), the iron is not operating normally. Disconnect from the power supply and have the iron serviced by qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

Read all instructions before using this product.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1 ) The iron must be used on a stable surface. When placing the iron on a stand or resting surface, make sure the stand or surface is stable. 2 ) Oliso irons are high wattage appliances - For EU version is 2000-2400W at 220-240V. For US or Canada version is 1600W at 120V for models TG1050 or 1800W at 125V for models TG1100, TG1250 or TG1600. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. 3 ) If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15A 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.

4) This iron uses hot steam!

5) Never direct fill the iron from a water tap while the iron is plugged into a power source.

6) FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

3 Simple Steps To Start

FILL UNPLUGGED

Open the Flip Funnel™ and add water to the tank with the fill cup or directly from a faucet.

Note: 2 fill cups equal the max capacity of the water tank.

Plug in, then choose a fabric and steam settings.

When the green light stops blinking and is solid, the iron is ready for use. Touch the handle and begin using.

SET UP

IRON

iTouch™ Technology

To operate, place the iron, soleplate down, on a flat surface. Plug the iron into an outlet and make sure the iTouch™ switch is in the ON position.

Simply touch the iron handle, and the iron will sense your hand and lower. Let it go, and the iron’s scorch guards will automatically raise the iron above the fabric.

DEACTIVATING THE ITOUCH™ TECHNOLOGY

If you wish to deactivate the iTouch™ feature, set the switch on the back of the iron to the OFF position. The iron will function like a standard iron. If you wish to reactivate the iTouch™ feature, set the switch back to the ON position.

As a safety precaution, when iTouch™ is deactivated, if the soleplate is left face down for more than 30 seconds, the scorch guards will automatically lift the iron off fabric, preventing scorching and burns. For more information regarding the auto shut-off safety feature, see page 5.

OFF ON

Getting To Know Your Oliso® Smart Iron™

Alternatively, fill directly from a faucet holding the iron horizontally. Do not fill the tank past the MAX fill line on the side of the iron. Close the port when done.

If you need to add water during ironing, unplug the iron and repeat the above steps. After filling, make sure the iron is fully reheated before ironing.

This iron is designed to be used with regular tap water. If your water is over 12 grams of hardness, we recommend using either inexpensive bottled spring water or mixing half tap water with half distilled water.

Never use 100% distilled water as this can cause the iron to spit and leak.

WATER RECOMMENDATIONS

Water Tank

Open the Flip Funnel™.

Leave the iron in a horizontal position and fill using the included fill cup. Two fill cups equal the maximum capacity of the water tank.

Before filling, slide the steam selector to off ( ). Make sure the iron is

Allow 3 seconds between uses of the steam burst function.

Switch to either spring water or half tap/half distilled water mixture. See the “water tank” page for more information.

Trouble shooting guide

Maintenance/Cleaning

The soleplate should be cleaned if starch or other residue builds up. When the iron is cool, wipe the soleplate with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as this will damage the iron’s soleplate.

Mineral deposits from tap water can occur in the soleplate vents. To clean, fill the water tank and heat the iron to the linen fabric setting. Once the iron is fully heated, unplug the iron and hold over a sink. Press the steam button repeatedly until water begins to drip out of the soleplate. Be careful, as this creates large amounts of steam.

To ensure optimal steam production, the steam valve should be regularly cleared of accumulated debris and minerals. This is done by moving the steam selector back and forth from the off ( ) to the max ( ) steam settings several times.
