IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:
READ A INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS IRON
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not place cord, plug or iron in water or
other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to “OFF” before plugging or unplugging from
the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from outlet, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. et iron cool completely before putting
away. oop cord loosely around the iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer service number for information on examination, repair or adjustment.
7. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.
9. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use
caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in
the reservoir.
11. Your iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron unattended.
Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.
12. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same electric circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13-amperage cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

3
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.
CORD PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way; if
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE WATER RESERVOIR:
•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 de-
mineralized water to prevent scale from forming.
•Do not use water that has passed through a home water softening system. This
type of water contains minerals that will decrease the performance and shorten
the life of your iron.
Filling:
1. Ensure that the iron is disconnected from the power supply before filling. Turn the
Continuous Steam Rotary Knob to “X” position, slide the Water Reservoir Cover
down.
2. Fill water into the reservoir.
3. Close the Water Reservoir Cover.
Note:
•Do not fill higher than indication “MAX” of the water tank in order to avoid spilling
out of water.
•Do not fill with anything but water. If you have to refill while ironing, remove the
main plug from the wall socket before filling.
•Pour any remaining water out after use.
USING THE IRON:
Ironing temperature:
Always check first to see whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the
article to be ironed. Follow these instructions in all cases. If ironing instructions are
missing but you do know the kind of fabric, then the table below may help you.

NOTE: It is recommended that the Burst of Steam button only be used when the fabric
setting being used is COTTON or INEN.
SAFETY FEATURES:
NOTE: the iron will go into AUTO OFF mode if it is left unattended and will read
“STAND BY” until the iron is moved again, or it automatically shuts off.
•Sleep condition: If the iron is left immobile for 30 seconds or in vertical position
for 15 minutes, the CD background will turn off and will flash “STAND BY” in ½
second intervals. Under this condition, the relay has no output and the buzzer will
continuously beep for 2 seconds, then the iron will enter the sleep condition with
the Sleep Indication amp (blue lamp) flashing.
•Abnormal alarm: If the sensor gets short-circuited or open circuited, or senses an
abnormal temperature rise, it will alarm after 8 seconds with intermittent beeps in
3 second intervals. After alarm sounds, the CD will have no display and the Sleep
Indication lamp will flash blue. The buzzer will continue to beep until the
abnormal situation is eliminated.
CARING FOR YOUR IRON
CLEANING:
•Before cleaning the iron, ensure that it is disconnected from the power supply and
has completely cooled down.
•Deposits and other residues on the soleplate can be removed with a rough cloth
soaked in a vinegar/water solution.
•The plastic casing may be wiped with a damp cloth and then polished with a dry
one.
•Do not use abrasives on the soleplate.
STORAGE:
•Set the Continuous Rotary Knob to position “X”.
•Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

8
•Stand the iron upright on its heel rest and allow to cool completely.
•Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.
•oosely loop the power cord together and store the iron on its heel rest.
IRONING TIPS:
•Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
•Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
•You should first iron garments requiring low temperatures to avoid damaging
them with an iron that is too hot.
•If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a
seam or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and
gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.
•When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow
approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
•When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the
steam to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out
the moisture.
•To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too
hot because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.
•Never iron over zippers, pins, snaps, or anything metal as this may scratch or
damage the soleplate.
