• Only use an iron for its intended use.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron off before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet.
Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the
plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron
away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before lling the iron with water,
emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped
or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a
qualied serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
• Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the
iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you
turn a steam iron upside down — there might be hot water in the reservoir.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high
wattage appliance.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or
greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage
can result in a risk of re or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to
arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not iron or steam articles when being worn by you or others. Never
aim steam at living beings.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before the water reservoir is lled with
water.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is
stable.
• The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it
is leaking.
• Remove all packaging and labels from appliance prior to use.
• Cord must not hang over edge of table, edge of counter, over the sink, or touch hot surfaces.
• To turn off your iron, press down on the Temperature Control Setting for about 3 seconds.
• When cleaning external iron, use a soft wet cloth to wipe down.
• Be certain water ll cover is securely locked in place before engaging appliance.

• Be sure to read all Safety Guidelines.
• Before using the iron for the rst time, you should always test it on an old towel or
other heavy fabric, to make sure the iron is working properly and there is no dust from
manufacturing in the iron.
• Fill the Removable Water Tank.
• Plug the iron into a grounded electrical outlet.
• To heat up, press the Temperature Control Button four times to MAX. The MAX light will
ash for about 60 seconds. When the light stops ashing, the iron is ready.
• It is normal for a small amount of smoke and a light odor to be produced the rst time the
iron is used; this won’t last long.
• Particles may emit from the iron the rst time it is used. They are not harmful and should
dissipate.
• Move the Steam Control & Self-Clean Dial to maximum. This is the continuous steam
setting.
• Iron for the rst time on an old towel or a heavy material until the Removable Water Tank is
empty and no more steam is produced. This will help eliminate any particles in the iron.

CLEANING YOUR IRON
PLEASE READ FIRST
We recommend cleaning your iron once per month to remove impurities that may build up inside
the Ceramic Soleplate over the use of your iron. When the soleplate needs to be cleaned, the
Cleaning Icon on the Digital Interface will illuminate.
The self-cleaning function does produce hot steam and water during the process; hold iron away
from your body as water/steam exit the Ceramic Soleplate during cleaning.
1. Ensure iron is unplugged.
2. Fill the Removable Water Tank halfway with water following “Filling Removable Water Tank”
and close Water Fill Cover.

Hot water and steam will come out of the Soleplate.
7. Continue to hold the Steam Control & Self-Clean Dial down until all the water has emptied
from the Removable Water Tank. You may have to move the iron back and forth to remove
most of the water from the Removable Water Tank.
8. When water/steam stops owing, release the Steam Control & Self-Clean Dial and stand the
iron up on its heel to cool down.
9. Once the iron is cool, wipe down the Ceramic Soleplate with a cold damp cloth.
10. When ready to use again, plug the iron in and let heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any
remaining water.
Caution: Keep skin and body away from hot water and steam as it is released from the iron.

WARRANTYTROUBLESHOOTING
The iron is plugged in, but the Ceramic Soleplate of the iron isn’t heating up.
Check that the power plug is properly inserted or try plugging the iron into a different outlet.
Temperature is set too low. Set the temperature control to a higher temperature.
Automatic shut-off is active. Try moving your iron.
None or too little steam is being emitted.
Check to see if the Steam Control & Self-Clean Dial isn’t on the dry setting. Adjust setting on the
switch.
There might not be enough water in the Removable Water Tank. Try lling the Removable Water
Tank.
There is an anti-drip feature that could be enacted. Make sure that the iron has reached the
correct temperature.
Brown streaks come through the holes in the Soleplate and stain the fabric.
Residue could have built up in the steam chamber or on the Ceramic Soleplate. Try using the
Self-Cleaning feature to remove the residue in the iron. Ensure that the iron is cool before using
this self-clean feature.
Using an iron descaling agent can sometimes cause this. There is no need to use one; the self-
cleaning feature will descale the iron without it.
Fabric bers can often build up in the holes of the Ceramic Soleplate. Try cleaning the Ceramic
Soleplate with a non-metallic sponge or vacuuming out the holes.
Make sure you have washed any new items before ironing them. This can help prevent
streaks or stains.
Make sure you didn’t spray starch on the side of the clothing you are ironing. If you are going to
use starch, spray it on the other side of the fabric.
Make sure to use regular tap water. Do not use distilled water, demineralized water, or softened water.
Iron is leaking.
Overuse of the steam burst can cause drips, make sure to allow more time between each burst.
The Ceramic Soleplate temperature could be too low. Check to make sure the Soleplate is
heated up.
Removable Water Tank is overlled. Do not ll past Max line on Removable Water Tank.
If you come across any of these problems here are some possible solutions.
