IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety instructions should always be followed,
including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE STEAM IRON.
• The Iron should always be turned to the "Off" position before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank Cord to disconnect from outlet; grasp Plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Before connecting the Steam Iron, make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same
as the voltage indicated on the appliance's rating label. Use it with wall receptacle
only.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the Power Cord, plug or the
Steam Iron in water or other liquid.
• Never use the Steam Iron if you have wet hands.
• Never leave the Steam Iron unattended while it is turned on or is on top of the ironing
board.
• Unplug from outlet while not in use.
• Let Steam Iron completely cool off in the upright position before storing it. Wind the
Power Cord around the Heel Rest before storing.
• Burns may occur by touching hot parts, the hot water or the steam. Be careful if you
have to turn the Steam Iron upside down, since there still may be hot water in the
Reservoir.
• Do not operate Iron with a damaged cord or if the Iron has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the Iron, take it
to an Authorized Service Center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can
cause a risk of electric shock when the Iron is used.
• Do not use it outdoors.
• Do not let the Power Cord come in contact with hot surfaces.
• This Steam Iron is intended for household use only.
• Use the Steam Iron only for the purpose intended.
• Do not leave Steam Iron unattended while using it. Be careful; if you leave the Steam
Iron unattended, always turn it off, disconnect the unit from the electric outlet and set
the Iron in an upright position.

• Repairs to the appliance may only be carried out by trained personnel. As a result of
incorrect repairs considerable dangers for the user may result. Please contact an
Authorized Service Center in the event of repairs being necessary.
• Always disconnect the Steam Iron from the wall socket when filling it with water or
emptying it out.
• Avoid overfilling the Reservoir. Never fill it above the maximum water level.
• In order to avoid overloading the circuits, never use another appliance with high
wattage on the same circuit.
• The manufacturer is not liable for any damages, which are caused by using the
appliance for any other purpose than that intended or incorrect use.
• If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least the same as the appliance
and (2) extension cord shall be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they

Before First Use
• When using the Iron for the first time, test it on a piece of old cloth to be sure that the
Soleplate and the Water Reservoir are clean.
• It is possible that the Iron will discharge some smoke or give off a slight odor during
its first usage. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. This is
completely normal and will stop shortly afterwards.
• When not ironing, always have the Steam Select Dial turned to the closed
position .
Instructions For Use
USING THE STEAM IRON
• First of all set the Steam Iron in an upright position and insert the plug in the wall
electrical outlet.
• Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
• The Indicator Light will go on and once the selected temperature is reached, the light
will go off and you can begin to Iron. The Indicator Light will be on every time the Iron
is heating. Once it reaches the temperature setting, the Indicator Light will turn off.
The Light will turn on and off from time to time while you are ironing since the
thermostat automatically maintains the Soleplate at the same temperature.
• If you select a lower temperature after having ironed at the higher temperature, do not
start to iron again until the Indicator Light goes back on.
• The Large Soleplate increases ironing efficiency while the non-stick finish
makes gliding through the fabrics even smoother.
• Another important feature of your Steam Iron is the 180º Swivel Cord, which prevents
tangling and allows for easy use by both right handed as well as left handed.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER
• This Steam Iron may be used with normal tap water. However, if the water of the
region in which you live is especially hard, it is recommended to use distilled water to
prolong the life of your Iron.
• Do not use water that has been desalinated with chemicals.

• Press the Spray Mist button firmly to produce spray.
Shot Of Steam Feature
(Model 5105 & 5106 Only)
• 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 the tank is at least full of water and the Temperature Control Dial is set
within the steam band.
• Allow the iron to heat for approximately two minutes.
• Press the Shot of Steam Button several times to prime the pump.
• Press the Shot of Steam Button another three to four times in order to clean the unit.
• 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 just above the fabric
being ironed.
• 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.

Ironing Temperature
• Check the ironing instructions on the label of the item that you wish to iron. Check the
following table for further instructions.

the following table. This table is only valid for the fabrics indicated and does not apply
to special textiles with a gloss finish, etc. Textiles with special coatings (such as gloss,
relief wrinkles, etc.) are best ironed at very low temperatures. If the textile consists of
several different types of fibers, always select the lowest temperature, i.e. the
temperature recommended for the most delicate fiber in the composition (for example,
if the composition consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should iron at the
temperature indicated for polyester).
