4. Plug in and press the power on/off button (F) located on the LED digital touch
screen control panel. A power on indicator light (H) will appear. Be sure that
the pressing plate (I) is in an open position when the unit is initially turned on.
5. Use the mode buttons (B) to choose the fabric setting. It may take a few
minutes to reach the chosen temperature when decreasing or increasing
settings.
NOTE: It takes approximately 12 minutes for the press to reach the linen
temperature.
WARNING: During initial use, or after a long period of time without use, press the
steam burst button (A) continuously for several seconds to clear the pressing
plate of residual water or calcium buildup in the system before use.
CAUTION: Be sure to examine the garment label before selecting a fabric
setting. If you cannot determine a fabric type, select the lowest setting and
increase as needed. It is best to start with the most delicate fabrics first to
avoid damage to your fabrics.
6. Once the press has reached the desired temperature, the green fabric setting
lights will stop flashing. Begin pressing. Be sure to use the provided pressing
cushion (M) to flatten out gathered areas such as sleeves, darts and yokes. If
needed, use the spray bottle (N) for dampening the fabric before pressing.
7. Pull down the pressing handle (I) and press the pressing plate (H) and the
ironing board (J) together. Hold for a few seconds, then lift to separate the
pressing plate (I) and ironing board (J).
8. To use steam, adjust the fabric selection mode to the wool, cotton or linen
settings. The steam ready light (D) will appear and you will be able to press
the steam burst button (A) for steaming your garments.
9. Pull down the pressing handle directly above the garments (about 1 to
2 inches above the fabric) and press the steam burst button (A). Press
the garment. DO NOT activate the steam burst button (A) with the unit
completely closed; you may damage your press.
CAUTION: Do not hold down the press for longer than 5 seconds. If using the steam
burst button, do not fully close the press down onto fabric. If you hold down the
press for too long, you may cause your garments to wrinkle because they are too
hot. If this should happen, spray down the garment with water and start over.

CAUTION: When using steam, do not hold the steam button for longer than 3
seconds. If steam is used for too long, you will cause the press temperature to
drop and will have to wait for it to reach the initial desired setting. The drop in
temperature cannot be avoided as the burst of steam cools down the pressing
plate instantly. By using steam in short bursts, you will help to eliminate the
temperature drop and thus be able to press quicker and more efficiently.
WARNING: During initial use or after a long period of time without use, press the
steam burst button continuously for several seconds to clear the pressing plate of
residual water or calcium buildup in system before use.
NOTE: Some garments have details such as darts, curved seams, and shoulder
pads which should not be pressed flat. Use the pressing cushion provided for use in
these areas.
WARNING: Do not attempt to lower the pressing plate to its lowest position or lock
the press with the pressing cushion in between. You may damage your press by
doing so.

BASIC IRONING
TABLE CLOTH
Fold the length of the fabric in either half or thirds and place on the ironing board.
Accordion pleat the length on the ironing board and move the pleated item into
the large open space behind the ironing board.
Move the tablecloth towards you, then press.
Continue moving forward until the entire item is pressed.
To store, fold it and place it on the ironing board and close the press. Apply
minimal pressure. If necessary, refold the tablecloth to press any areas that were
hanging off the sides of the ironing board. Repeat the pressing procedure.
Hint: Use the same method for most large items, such as duvet covers, bed sheets,
pillowcases, table runners, towels, blankets, quilts, etc.
PANTS
Waistband- Place the top of the pants on the press. Press the pressing board
down over the pants to the ironing board. If using the pressing cushion, place the
waistband of the pants around the board on top of cushion. Arrange pleats. Rotate
pants to press entire waistband.
Side Pockets- Slide pockets over the pressing cushion and over the pressing board
then press.
Inseam- Place the inside of the crotch area on the board facing up. Align with the
slanted left side of the board. Press.
Legs- Place the top of the pant leg half way on the ironing board. Press the front
crease. Then, place the bottom of the pant leg half way on the ironing board. Allow
the hem or cuff to hang off the end of the board. Press. Follow the same method
for pressing back crease.
Note: The hems of the pants can be pressed by placing them both on the ironing
board and applying a small amount of pressure.
SHIRT AND BLOUSES
Yoke- Arrange the shoulders around the slanted left side of the board. Let the
collar hang off the edge. Press.
Cuffs- Place the cuffs and plackets around the edges of the ironing cushion.
Arrange any pleats. Press.
Sleeves- Place the garment to the left side of the press with the collar towards
you. Place the first sleeve on the ironing board with the curve of the garment fitted to the slanted left side of the board (the second sleeve will lay in front of the
press off the board). Press. Remove the first sleeve and place the second sleeve
on the board. Press.
09
Body- Put the sleeves together and fold the shirt in half. Place it at the back of the
ironing board away from you, extending the sleeves behind the board on the right.
Bring the shirt front with the buttons forward first. With your right hand, hold
the collar so that the curved edge of the neck opening is flat against the ironing
board. Do not release the collar until you have lowered the pressing plate. Press.
Keep pulling the shirt forward until you have worked the whole way around.
Collar- Place the collar on the board, spray and press. Fold the collar in half, spray
then press.
Shirt Tail- Button the garment and place the shirt tail squarely on the ironing
board. Press. Hang the shirt on a hanger, or fold it. It is a good idea to let it cool
before folding. Use the ironing cushion to retouch any areas.
Hint: Use this same procedure on other fitted garments such as blouses, fitted
shirts, jackets, etc.
T-SHIRT
Place t-shirt flat on the ironing board. Depending on the shape, begin with the
sleeves.
Note: If your t-shirt has rhinestones or an application on it, press with the decorated side face down on the board or turn it inside out.
PLEATED SKIRT

pinned to the ironing board cover. Do not use plastic head pins when using the
press. Rotate the skirt until all pleats are pressed.

line flat on the board. Allow the top edge of the sleeve to hang off the edge of the
board. Press.
Lapels- Place lapels flat, diagonally on the ironing board. Press. Use the ironing
cushion if needed.
TIES AND RIBBONS
Place the tie lengthwise on the board. Press. You can also place them horizontally
on the board and close the press then pull the tie or ribbon through it.
EMBROIDERY ITEMS
Place the garment face down on the ironing board to reduce wear and prevent
damage.
10
If needed, place a towel over the garment then press. This will protect stitching,
rhinestones, etc.
CAUTION: When ironing embroidered, stitched items or garments with rhinestones,
sample an area to see if the steam or heat will affect the area and proceed with
caution.
STORING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Prior to storing or providing maintenance to your steam press, isolate
the unit by removing the cord from the power socket and avoid immersing the unit
in water.
1. Water may be left in water tank reservoir; however, it is recommended that if
the machine will be stored for a long period of time, any left over water in the
unit should be drained.
2. Wait approximately 30 minutes for the press to cool down before storing.
Once cooled, lower the pressing plate onto the ironing board; pull down the
pressing handle completely, then push the locking knobs in, downwards to the
“locked” position.
3. Wipe the steamer with a soft cloth when/if necessary.
4. Store in a cool, dry place.
5. Replace the water filter when necessary. Additional filters can be ordered at

CLEANING
1. Fill the water tank using water container provided.
2. Place the pressing cushion in the center of the ironing board.
