Thermostat operating indicator light

Maximum water level indicator

Power plug11 English Before use The temperature selector of the iron has words, dots and steam symbols. The dots are symbols for 3 temperature ranges:

• • • High temperature Some fabrics are labeled with these dots as a guide for selecting the proper ironing temperature setting. Use a press cloth if necessary. Notes:

• The thermostat operating indicator light goes on and o󰀨 alternately to indicate the changing temperature of soleplate. If you turn the temperature selector from a high temperature to a lower temperature, wait until the indicator light goes on before using the iron.

• Do not place the hot iron on cloth for extended time or wrap cloth over the hot iron. How to use as an iron Be sure to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before filling the water reservoir with water.

1. Move the steam/dry selector to

the dry position to avoid water leakage.

2. Fill water in the water reservoir

when using steam, power shot, vertical steam or spray. ① Open the water fill cover. Hold the iron as shown and fill the iron with water up to " MAX " (about 300 mL / 10,2 oz). Use a clean cup for filling. ② Place iron in vertical position to check water level. ③ Close water fill cover firmly to prevent spillage during ironing. Note: Do not overll the water reservoir. The steam will release through the vents when the iron is positioned vertically. "MAX"English

and make sure the temperature selector is set to " OFF ".

4. Plug into a 120 V AC household outlet.

5. Set the temperature selector.

The thermostat operating indicator light goes on. Refer to "Guide for Steam/Dry selector" on P13

• Please make sure the temperature select indicator setting is on " MAX " when using " high steam " and " power shot ". Note: If the temperature of soleplate is high, the light does not go on.

6. Wait until the thermostat operating indicator light goes off

(usually about 1-2 minutes), then you can use the iron. The light will go on and off while ironing to indicate the temperature chosen by the temperature selector is being maintained.

Set the temperature selector to " OFF " and unplug. 1 Set the steam/dry selector to the dry position. If the steam/dry selector is not in the dry position after using, remaining water will move into the soleplate and can result in burns when the iron is used next time. 2 Empty the water reservoir immediately after using. Do not store the iron with water in it. If you empty the water reservoir after it has cooled, heat the iron for about 5 minutes with the temperature selector set to " MAX ".

• Do not wind the power cord around the iron. 3 Wait until the iron has cooled before storing it, and always set it on the heel rest to protect the soleplate from scratches, corrosion or stains.13 English Steam/Dry selector Temperature zone Recommendations Dry Choose according to the type of fabrics. For polyester and other synthetic ber material. Low steam For thin or delicate fabrics requiring a small amount of steam. High steam For fabrics requiring a lot of steam. (i.e. thick materials, items with stubborn wrinkles). Please make sure the temperature select indicator setting is on " MAX " when using " high steam ". CAUTION: Do not aim the steam at any parts of your body or others. Note:

• Use an ironing board to support the steam iron. Using the " power shot " The " power shot " feature provides extra steam which goes deep into the garment and is helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles. It is necessary to clean the inside of the iron before using the " power shot " feature, if you have not used the " power shot " feature for a prolonged period. Simply test the " power shot " feature several times away from the ironing board and clothes to be ironed. This will prevent brown spotting or water spotting on the clothes. Set the steam/dry selector to the dry position. Set the temperature selector to the " MAX " position. Simply pump the power shot button

• Pump the power shot button several times at the beginning of each ironing session.

• Press the power shot button in intervals of at least 2 seconds during the use to prevent water spotting.

• If the power shot weakens, wait until the thermostat operating indicator light goes on, and then off.

• Use a press cloth if necessary. Guide for Steam/Dry selector steam zoneEnglish

Using the " vertical shot " To get better results when using vertical steam, hang the garment on a hanger. Curtains and drapes may also be steamed once they are hung. Hold the iron away from your body, close to but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tightly and pump the power shot button at 2 seconds intervals as you press the iron over the wrinkled fabric.

• If the power shot weakens, wait until the thermostat operating indicator light goes on, and then off. Using the " spray " The spray feature is particularly helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles and where extra dampen is needed. The spray may be used with steam or dry ironing. Simply push the spray mist button whenever spray is desired.

• If the spray does not work immediately, keep triggering until it does. Electronic 3-way auto shut-o󰀨 function The auto shut-off feature is not intended to take the place of unplugging the cord. The auto shut-off system works regardless of the position of the temperature selector.

1. When the iron is left idle with its soleplate facing down or

on its side for approx. 1 minutes, the iron will automatically shut off.

2. When the iron is left idle on its heel rest for

approx.10 minutes, the iron will automatically shut off.

3. To resume ironing and turn the iron on, simply move the

iron in any manner. If the iron has been left in the auto shut off mode for more than 10 minutes, allow the iron to reheat until the indicator light goes off. Always unplug the iron when you nish ironing. Even though the iron is unplugged, the soleplate is still hot. Make sure to rest the iron on its heel, away from fabric. 1 minute to " OFF " 1 minute to " OFF " 10 minutes to " OFF "15 English How to care for and store your iron Cleaning ►Using the " power shot " feature

1. Fill the water reservoir with tap water as described in the

" How to use as an iron " on P11.

• Repeat the steps if venting of the steam does not improve.

• Clean the iron once every two weeks. If the water is very hard (i.e. steam holes on the soleplate are easily blocked by impurities), this method should be used more frequently.

• Let the iron cool down on its heel rest and follow the instructions in the " After each use " on P12. ►Automatic anti calc system (Stay clean vents) The built-in automatic anti calc system in the water reservoir continuously reduces scale build up in the vaporizing chamber of the iron. This system makes it possible to use the steam function for a long period of time and prevents steam vents from clogging.English

How to care for your iron ►Surface of the iron

• After unplugging and cooling the iron, simply wipe off with a damp cloth and if necessary, use a mild detergent.

• Never use any strong cleaners. ►Soleplate

• Starch and other residue may be easily removed from the soleplate with a damp cloth.

• To avoid scratching the surface, never use a metallic pad to clean the soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.

• The best way to remove synthetic residue from the soleplate is to iron over an old cotton cloth rag after heating the iron. Note: Never use cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of the iron. Some odor may be released during initial use of the iron, however, this is normal and the odor will not attach to your clothes. Never use steam iron detergent in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of the iron. Q&A Question Answer Why click sound or metallic sound be heard while using or shaking the iron?

These sounds are made by the internal parts of the iron, spray mechanism, etc., moving slightly. This is normal. Why do the clothes sometimes become brown after being ironed?

If there is laundry detergent remaining on the fabric, the clothes may become brown after being ironed. Why are there white powder/particles coming out of the steam vents while using the steam function (especially when using " power shot ")?

The powder/particles are hydrophilic treatment or impurities and minerals found in hard water etc. These are not harmful and can be brushed o󰀨 clothing.17 English Trouble shooting Problem Causes, solution No heating ► Make sure the power plug is plugged into socket-outlet.
