1. Insert the plug in the electrical wall socket.
2. Make sure that the Steam Select Switch is in the closed position
3. After the Indicator Light goes off, you may start to iron.
Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures (silk, wool, cotton, linen), as indicated on the
Temperature Control Dial (figure 3).
1. Be sure that there is enough water in the Reservoir.
2. Set the iron in an upright position.
3. Plug the steam Iron into the wall electrical outlet.
4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired position within the range of
temperatures included in the steam area of the dial.
5. Wait until the Indicator Light has turned off after lighting up.
6. Set the Steam Select Switch to the desired steam level position. You are now
ready to start steam ironing. The steam will be released evenly through vents
located in the soleplate for easier ironing.
The Spray Mist feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to help remove wrinkles
from heavy fabrics and to set creases.
1. Press the Spray Mist button firmly to start the spray.
SHOT OF STEAM
The Shot of Steam feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of stubborn wrinkles.
The Shot of Steam feature can be used with dry or steam ironing provided it has at least a ¼ tank of water
and the Temperature Control Dial is set within the steam band.
1. Allow the iron to heat for approximately two minutes.
2. Press the Shot of Steam Button several times to prime the pump.
3. Press the Shot of Steam Button another three to four times in order to clean the unit.
4. The Shot of Steam feature is now ready for use. The Shot of Steam feature can be used continuously
with just a short pause between shots. The Shot of Steam feature is most effective with the Iron held in
a horizontal position on the fabric being ironed.
5. If the Water Reservoir runs dry, unplug the Iron and refill with water. The Iron may be filled with water while it
is hot. Note: It may be necessary to re-prime the pump before using the Shot of Steam feature again.
VERTICAL SHOT OF STEAM
The vertical shot steam feature allows your iron to function as a garment steamer.
TIP: When using the vertical shot of steam on clothing, hang the clothing on clothes hanger for best
results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.
HOW TO USE VERTICAL STEAM
1. Allow iron to warm up (2 minutes).
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric you want to steam.
3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
4. Press the Shot of Steam button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the iron
wrinkled area.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being steamed.
WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.
