IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read the instructions carefully before using.
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. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended when connected to the wall outlet or on an ironing board.
5. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons, without supervision.
6. Always turn the Temperature Control Knob counterclockwise to the furthest position before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never pull cord to disconnect from the electrical outlet. Grasp the plug first, then pull to disconnect.
7. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Wrap cord loosely around the iron and store upright on it's heel.
8. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
9. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or plug or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Contract Salton for examination, repair or adjustment. See Warranty section.
10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Always use the handle and warn others, especially children, of the possible dangers of burns from steam, hot water or the soleplate.
11. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down as there may be hot water in the reservoir.
12. Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may damage that surface.
13. Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are being worn.
14. Do not use the iron as a vertical steamer in the direction of people or pets.

15. To avoid a circuit overload do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

16. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their 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 appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

NOTE: When the Temperature Control Dial is changed from a high setting to a lower temperature setting during ironing, the Temperature Indicator Light will go out immediately. To ensure that the Iron has reached the selected lower temperature and is not too hot, wait until the Temperature Indicator Light comes on again and then goes out before ironing.

Dry Ironing

1. Follow steps 1 - 3 in the 'Setting the Temperature' section.
2. Slide the Variable Steam Control to the DRY position ( )

This will shut off the flow of steam if there is any water in the Reservoir. NOTE: If you are dry-ironing for longer than 20 minutes, the Water Reservoir should be emptied to prevent overheating of any remaining water.

1. To use the Mist while dry-ironing, ensure that there is sufficient water in the Water Reservoir. Press the Spray Mist Button to dampen the fabric while ironing.

Filling the Iron with Water

• Before filling the Iron with water, ensure that the Temperature Control Knob has been turned counterclockwise to the furthest position and the plug has been removed from the wall outlet. The Iron can be filled with water while it is hot.
• WARNING: Take care around hot steam – it can cause serious burns.
• NEVER fill the Water Reservoir above the MAX level indicator on the Water Reservoir.

• Use only tap water in the Water Reservoir. Do not fill with fabric conditioner, starches or any other solution as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use distilled, demineralised or contaminated water.

• Set the Variable Steam Button to the dry setting, the furthermost left position (✗).

• Place the Iron on its Heel on a flat dry level surface. Open the Water Reservoir Cover by grasping the two small tabs at the top of the Cover and gently lowering.

• Using the supplied Water Jug, SLOWLY pour water into the Water Reservoir until the MAX level indicated on the Water Reservoir is reached.

• Close the Water Reservoir Cover.

Steam Ironing

When the Iron is first switched on, the steam supply is switched Off. It is only possible to Steam Iron at temperatures between •• or MAX. Before you use the steam function, make sure that the Iron is filled with water. NOTE: The Anti-Drip

feature is designed to automatically stop steaming if the iron temperature is set too low.

1. Follow steps 1 - 3 in the 'Setting the Temperature' section.
2. The desired temperature must be within the steam range, (●● or MAX) (III. 3).
3. Slide the Variable Steam Control to the desired steam setting (Ill. 4). NOTE: Do not move the steam setting to the furthest right position as this is the self-clean function. If this setting is selected excess steam and water will be emitted from the soleplate.
4. To use the spray mist to remove stubborn creases, press the 'Spray Mist Button' to release a fine mist from the Spray Nozzle (Ill. 5).

The Preconditioning Steam vents are above the tip of the soleplate and allows the steam to reach the fabric before the heated soleplate. Press the Burst of Steam Button to precondition the fabric on difficult areas such as collars, cuffs, pockets, etc.

CAUTION: Take care around hot steam – it can cause serious burns. Keep children away from the front of the iron and do not place fingers in front of the Soleplate as steam will be released in front of the Iron tip.

Burst of Steam

The Burst of Steam provides an extra burst of steam which is ideal for removal of stubborn creases and wrinkles during Steam or Dry ironing. 7

1. The Burst of Steam function can only be used at temperatures settings between ••• or MAX and the indicator light has gone out.
2. Lift the Iron slightly above the surface of the fabric and press the Burst of Steam Button down firmly. An intense burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabrics. Release the Burst of Steam Button then continue to iron. NOTE: If the Burst of Steam Button is used several times in close succession, the soleplate temperature will be reduced. The Temperature Indicator Light will illuminate to show that the iron is heating up to the desired temperature and will extinguish once the iron is back up to temperature.

Vertical Steaming

The Burst of Steam Button allows you to use the iron for vertical ironing. This is especially useful for getting wrinkles out of hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc. NOTE: Vertical Steaming can only be used in the ••• or MAX setting.

1. Follow the directions in the 'Filling the Iron with Water' section.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting and wait until the temperature has been reached and the Temperature Indicator Light goes out.

3. Hang the garment in a location that will not be damaged from heat or moisture. Hold the fabric taut.

4. Press the Burst of Steam Button. Keep the iron a few inches away from the garment and move it up and down the garment (Ill. 6). Creases will be removed and the fabric will be freshened. NOTE: Do not allow the soleplate to touch delicate fabrics.

1. Allow the fabric to cool and air thoroughly before storing away.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Sort the items to be ironed according to the fabric type. Iron fabrics requiring the coolest temperatures first. Work gradually to higher temperatures. Both the temperature display and most items of laundry have markings corresponding with the following chart. (See chart on page 5) NOTE: If you cannot determine what type of fabric an item is made of, test the item by ironing a small section on an inside seam.

2. If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibers, set the Temperature Control Dial for the most delicate fiber.

3. Silks, wools and synthetic materials should be ironed on the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
4. If using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the soleplate cleaned more frequently.
5. The Iron produces a large amount of steam. When ironing damp fabric, switch off the steam supply then run the dry iron over the garment to remove excess moisture.
6. Take care when ironing over sharp objects so they do not scratch the soleplate.

CARE AND CLEANING

Storage

1. Set the Variable Steam Control Button to 'DRY' ( ).
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial counterclockwise to the furthest position.
