READ THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING YOUR
Panasonic IRON TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE IRON FEATURES
BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR CORDLESS IRON
How does it work?
A cordless iron has no electrical cord directly attached to itself, therefore, you might
wonder how the heat will be maintained.
If you think back on how you've been ironing, you'll remember that you've always placed the
iron somewhere that enables you to have two hands free, so that you can move the garment
on your ironing board.
Since the remaining heat of the Soleplate is used for ironing with a cordless iron, the iron must
be placed on its Power Base and nowhere else.
The iron will re-heat quickly every time it is placed on the Power Base and maintains its tem
perature.
NOTE:
A cordless iron is NOT a rechargeable device. You cannot continuously use this iron without
placing it on the Power Base.
TIPS AND HINTS BEFORE USING YOUR IRON
1. Most ordinary tap water can be used in this iron. However, in extremely hard water areas,
distilled or demineralized water should be used. Do not use water processed through home
water softening systems, since this water contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron.
2. it is best to start ironing with garments which require lower temperature settings. Wrong
temperature setting may damage the fabric. If you are not sure of the fabric content, try the
temperature of the iron on a hidden area of the garment.
3. Before ironing, sort the garments according to the different heat settings required.
Do not touch plastic buttons with a hot iron, as this may damage the buttons.
Caution is also required when ironing around zippers and similar items which might scratch
the Soleplate.

Wait until the Temperature Control light turns on continuously. You can then start ironing.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
1. Jet of Steam
The"Jet of Steam''feature provides extra steam which goes deep into the garment and
is helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles. The "Jet of Steam" feature operates properly
only in the "HIGH" indication area of the "SET" Pad when steam or dry ironing (If used
at lower setting, water spotting will occur because the iron is not hot enough to change
water to steam ). If you have not used the " Jet of Steam “ feature for a long time, it is
necessary to clean the inside of the iron before using this feature on any clothes to be
ironed. Simply test the "Jet of Steam" feature several times away from the ironing board
and clothes to be ironed. This will prevent brown spotting or water spotting on the clothes.
1. Fill iron with water. See section " HOW TO FILL WITH WATER ".
2. Plug the cord into a standard 120V- 60Hz electrical outlet.
3. Set the iron on the Power Base securely. The green " OFF" light will turn on.
4. Push the" SET" Pad to the " HIGH" temperature level. The red light starts blinking.
5. Preheat the iron until the light turns on continuously, usually about 1-2 minutes.
6. Simply pump the " Jet of Steam Button " when steam is desired. Pump the " Jet of Steam
Button " several times at the beginning of each ironing session.
7. Allow at least 5 seconds between uses of "Jet of Steam Button " to prevent water spotting.
Use a press cloth if necessary.
-8-
Page 9
NOTE: Do not touch the fabric with the iron. Keep the iron slightly over the fabric to
prevent burns or disfiguring.
Jet of Steam can be provided by pumping the " Jet of Steam Button ".
Set temperature at'' HIGH “ level.
To avoid hot water from dripping out of the Soleplate, please give 5 seconds
of interval time before re-pumping
2. Vertical Steam
To get better results when using vertical steam, hang the garment on a clothes hanger. Curtains
and drapes may also be steamed once they're hung. Hold the iron away from your body, close
to but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tight with your free hand and pump the Vertical
Steam Button (Jet of Steam Button) at 5 seconds intervals as you pass the iron over the
wrinkled fabric.
AWARNING
Never iron clothes on the body or point your iron at anyone when steaming.
Keep hands and body away from steam areas while using vertical steam feature.
3. Anti-Drip System (Automatic Water Seal)
This model has an Anti-Drip System. When the temperature of the Soleplate's surface drops
below 250T(121 °C), the valve for the vaporizing chamber in the iron automatically closes
and stops the water from going in further. This prevents hot unvaporized water from spitting
out from the soleplate when the iron has cooled down. With this System, it is unnecessary
for you to wait until the inside of the vaporizing chamber dries completely when you store
the iron.
NOTE: It is not a sign of malfunction when you hear a clicking sound.
This sound can be heard whenever this System is activated.
4. Automatic Shut-Off
The Automatic Shut-Off System provides you with a visible warning signal before the iron
automatically shuts off. The iron will automatically shut itself off if the iron has been left on
the Power Base longer than 10 minutes. 10 seconds before the actual shut-off, the
" OFF " indicator will start blinking rapidly.
If the iron is not moved during the warning, the heater in the iron's Soleplate will automatically
shut off.
The Automatic Shut-Off System activates only after the temperature reaches its selected level.
To reheat your iron after it automatically shuts off, simply push " SET" Pad until the red light
appears at the desired temperature indicator.
" OFF" light(green) remains on after your iron automatically shuts off.
This light indicates that the iron is still plugged into the electrical outlet and voltage is being
supplied to the Power Base.
5. Spray
Note: Before using the spray feature, check the fabric label for ironing instructions because
some fabrics may be spotted or stained with moisture.
The spray feature is particularly helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles and where extra
dampening is needed.
Page 10
The spray may be used with steam or dry ironing.
1. Simply pump the Spray Mist Button whenever spray is desired.
If the spray doesn't come out immediately, keep pumping until it does.
2. To get a finer spray, pump the Button vigorously.
To get a more powerful spray, pump the Button more slowly. ,,,
For best results, use a quick, full stroke.
