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

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE IRON.

2. Use the Iron only for its intended use.

3. To protect against a 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 fabric select dial) before plugging or
unplugging from an outlet. Never yank 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. Take this appliance only to the
nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair or adjustment.

8. 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 steam iron upside down as there may be hot water in the reservoir.

10. When you have finished ironing or when leaving the iron even for short periods:

•

Set the adjustable steam control/steam button to the no steam position “ ”, and turn

the fabric select dial to the off setting.

•

Place iron upright on its heel rest and unplug the Iron from the electrical outlet.

11. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT
play with the appliance.

12. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or
incapacitated individuals.

NOTE: The soleplate may become damaged if the iron is stored with the soleplate facing
downwards.

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, be sure to electrical
rating of the extension cord is the same or higher than that of your appliance. 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 was 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.

BEFORE FIRST USE:

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. Turn the fabric select dial to the Off position and the adjustable steam control switch to
no steam position

“ ”

(Model 4420 only)/ to the “0” position (Model 4415 only).

2. Set the iron on its heel rest and fill with water to the “max” fill line. Overfilling the iron
may cause it to spill water during use. NOTE: Do not overfill the water tank and never fill
with anything but water.

3. Plug cord into an electrical outlet, and set the fabric select dial to its highest setting
“max”.

4. Let the iron preheat for 2 minutes while sitting on the heel rest.

5. Turn the adjustable steam control switch to the heavy steam setting

“ ”

(Model 4420

only)/ to the “3” position (Model 4415 only).

6. 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 before filling the tank.

2. Turn the fabric select dial to the Off position and the adjustable steam control switch to
no steam position

“ ” / “0”

, so that the water enters directly into the tank and in order

to avoid spillage.

3. To fill the tank, place the iron in a vertical position and lift the water fill hole cover.
NOTE: Do not overfill the water tank.

4. The water level can be seen through the water tank.

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 mist 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 mist 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 switch to no steam position

“ ” / “0”

and
fabric select dial in a level suitable for the garments. Begin ironing with garments that require
a lower setting (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.
