- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or other heated surfaces.

- Use the product in a well-ventilated area. Keep at least 4-6 inches of space on sides of the product to allow adequate air circulation.

- Use appliance on a table or flat surface. Keep the product away from curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels, or other flammable materials.

- Do not plug or unplug the product from the electrical outlet with a wet hand.

- This product is intended solely for non-commercial, non-industrial, household use; do not use the product outdoors or for any other purpose.

- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter where it may be tripped over or pulled. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.

- This product has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 11.

- Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the product, as the power cord could fray and break.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

- The Iron should always be turned to "MIN" before plugging or unplugging from outlet.

• Always disconnect Iron from the outlet when filling with water, emptying and when not in use.

• Use caution when you turn the Iron upside down as there may still be hot water in the reservoir.
• An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but if one must be used:
• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

WARNING

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

BEFORE FIRST USE:

IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.

• The iron has been greased, and as a result, the iron may smoke slightly when switched on for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
• Before using it for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
• Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects (such as clothes rack, buttons, and slide fasteners).
• Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. Preferably set the steam knob to a strong position and use a dry pressing cloth.
• We recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth before using it for the first time.

USING YOUR STEAM IRON:

Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

CHOICE OF WATER

• This iron can be used with normal tap water.
- If the water in your area is particularly hard, it is advisable to use distilled or demineralized water.
- Do not use chemically descaled water or any other liquids for refilling.

FILLING THE RESERVOIR:

1. Set the steam control knob to "0" and the temperature control dial to "OFF/MIN". Unplug the iron from the wall outlet and wait for the iron to cool down.
2. Pour water into the water tank and fill to the "MAX" level of the water tank.

NOTE: Do not over fill the tank past the 'MAX' level. Always empty out the reservoir after every use. This will prevent added calcification build-up. Please see 'TIPS' under How to Descale your Iron.

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE:

NOTE: Always check garment label for ironing instructions before ironing garments. If the instructions are missing, then use the table provided.

1. Insert the plug into the wall outlet and stand Iron upright. Power Indicator light will turn on. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature.
2. The power indicator light will turn off once the temperature has been reached.

Note: The light will turn on and off indicating that the selected temperature is being maintained.

SELECTING SHOT-STEAM AND STEAM WHEN IRONING VERTICALLY:

1. Press the shot-steam button to generate a powerful burst of steam that can penetrate the fabrics and smooth the most difficult and tough creases. Wait for a few seconds before pressing again.
2. By pressing the shot-steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically (curtains, hung garments, etc.).

Warning: the shot-steam function can only be used at high temperatures. Stop the emission when the power light comes on, and then start ironing again only after the light has gone off.

DRY IRONING:

To iron without steam, follow the instructions in section "Steam Ironing", leaving the steam selector on position "O".

SPRAY FUNCTION:

1. Make sure that there is plenty of water in the reservoir.

NOTE: Do not fill the reservoir past the 'MAX' line.

1. Press the spray button slowly (for a dense spray) or quickly (for a vaporized spray).

Warning: For delicate fabrics, we recommend moistening the fabric beforehand using the spray function or putting a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric. To avoid staining, do not use spray on silk or synthetic fabrics.

TIPS:

• If the fabric is mixed, set the thermostat to the temperature of the fiber requiring the lower temperature.
• Use the lowest temperatures with fabrics that have unusual finishes such as sequins, embroidery, flush, etc.
• If you do not know the composition of the fabric, try testing it on a hidden corner of the garment. Start at a low temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the ideal temperature.
• Never iron areas with traces of perspiration or other marks. The heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric making them irremovable.

STORING YOUR STEAM IRON:

WARNING: Always unplug the product and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing it.

• When ironing is complete, turn the Steam Dial to the "O" position. When there is no steam, turn the Temperature Dial to "MIN" point. Unplug the product from the electrical outlet.
• Empty the reservoir by turning the Iron Upside down and gently shaking it. Please be very careful as the contents might still be hot.
• Leave iron vertically to cool down completely. Always store iron in vertical position.
• Dry all parts thoroughly before storing or using again.

How to Descale your Iron:

1. Empty out your iron over the sink or in a large bucket, if there is any water remaining in it.
2. Mix in a measuring cup one part vinegar and two parts distilled water.
3. Turn the iron on and set it to the hottest temperature 'cotton' setting.
4. Once the temperature reaches the desired setting, turn the iron off and unplug it from the outlet.
5. Hold the iron from the handle and face the hot plate downward over the sink or bucket.
6. Pour the vinegar and water mixture into the water reservoir of the iron.
7. Plug your iron into an electrical outlet and turn the iron on. Let it steam for about five minutes.
8. Shake the iron gently back and forth until empty. Water, steam, and scale will come out of the steam vents.
9. Heat the iron and glide over a cloth to clean the soleplate. Repeat process, if necessary.
10. Turn the iron off and let it cool down.
11. Empty out the water reservoir if any solution remains and rinse it with clean water.

TIPS:

• Always empty out the water reservoir when done ironing.
• Descale your iron on a regular basis.
• We recommend using purified water with your iron. Purified water usually has fewer minerals than tap water, but it can vary depending on the water source and the degree of purification.
