MAKING ACQUAINTANCE WITH YOUR CORDLESS IRON
Read these instructions to become familiar with the iron and its features.
How does it work?
A cordless iron, as you can see, has no electrical cord directly attached to itself, Therefore,
you might wonder how the heat will be maintained.
tf you'll think back on how you've been ironing, you'll remember that you've always placed the
iron somewhere to be able to have two hands free, so that you can move the garment on your
ironing board.
Since the remaining heat of the soleplate is used for ironing with a cordless iron, it requires to
be placed on its power base and nowhere else.
The iron will re-heat quickly every time it is placed on the power base and maintains its tem-
perature by repeating these movements.
NOTE:
A cordless iron is NOT a rechargeable device. You can not continuously use this iron without
having it placed on the power base.
TIPS AND HINTS BEFORE USING YOUR IRON
1. Most ordinary tap water can be used in this iron. However, in extremely hard water areas,
distilled or demineralized water should be used. Do not use water processed through home
water softening systems, since this water contains minerals that may be harmful! to the iron.
2. It is best to start ironing with garments which require lower temperature settings. Wrong
temperature setting may damage the fabric. if you are not sure of the fabric content, try the
temperature of the iron on an hidden area of the garment.
3. Before ironing, sort the garments according to the different heat settings required.
Do not touch plastic buttons with hot iron, for this may damage the buttons.
Also caution is required when ironing around zippers and similar items which might scratch
the soleplate.

As a guide to the international Textile Care Labeling code,the following symbols are noted for
your information.

HOW TO SUPPLY ELECTRICITY
The iron must be set securely on the power base in order to supply electricity.
Electricity will only be provided while the iron is placed on the power base.
Should you desire to place the iron while moving the garment on your ironing
board, the iron must be placed nowhere else than the power base.
The power base will keep the temperature of the iron at selected level.
HOW TO CONTROL TEMPERATURE
=> How to operate the temperature control pad
1. Every time you push the temperature control pad, the temperature
indicator light moves to the next position, a higher temperature.
2. Desired temperature can be chosen by pushing the pad until the light
comes to its certain position.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHTS ( RED):
* Continuously blinks until the iron reaches its
selected temperature.
* Turns on continuously when the iron has reached
its selected temperature to let you know that you
can start ironing
“OFF” LIGHT ( GREEN):
This light turns on when;
* The cord is plugged into the outlet
* The iron has automatically shut itself off.
* The iron has been manually turned off
NOTE: All the light will turn off, once the iron leaves the power base. They will turn on again
when the iron is re-placed.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
1. Jet of Steam
A powerful jet of steam will burst out with air, eliminating ugly wrinkles and cleaning
the steam holes at the same time.
Powerful steam has the following effects.
a) Deodorizing.
Steam removes uncomfortable odors caused by cigarette smoke, sweat, insecticide,
etc.
b) Sterilizing.
Germs and bacteria are killed by hot steam as it penetrates through the fabric.
c) Removing static electricity.
Irritating static electricity is removed by steam instantly.
d) Revives worn fabrics
= Wool Steam will bring old worn out wool back to life. Wool carpets pressed
by heavy furniture can aslo be revived by steam.
> Fur Fur items which have been stored away during the summer time are
sometimes disfigured. By adding steam, you can restore the fluffy and
shiny fur back.
NOTE: Do not touch the fabric with the iron, Keep the iron slightly over the
fabric to prevent burns or disfiguring.
Jet of Steam can be provided by pumping the ° Jet of Steam Button ".
Set temperature at " HIGH ” level.
To avoid hot water from dripping out of the soleplate, please give 2-5 seconds of
interval time before re-pumping
2.Auto-Valve System ( Automatic Water Seal )
This model has an Auto-Valve System, When the temperature of the soleplate's
surface drops below 250° F, the valve for the vaporizing chamber in the iron
automatically close and stops the water from going in further. This prevents
hot unvaporized water from spitting out from the soleplate when the iron has
cooled down. with this system, it is unnecessary for you to wait until the inside
of the vaporizing chamber dries completely when you store the iron.
NOTE: It is no sign of malfunction when you hear a clicking sound.
This sound can be heard whenever this system is activated.
3. Automatic Shut-off
The Automatic Shut-off system provides you with a visible warning signal before
the iron automatically shut off. If after 10 minutes the iron has been left on the
power base unmoved, the iron will automatically shut itself off. 10 seconds before
the actual shut-off, the " OFF/AUTO OFF ° indicator will start blinking rapidly.
If the iron is not moved during the warning, it will automatically shut off the power to
the heater in the iron's soleplate.

This system activates after the temperature reaches its selected level.
To reheat your iron after it automatically shuts off, simply push the temperature control pad
until the red light comes to the setting you wish for.
"OFF" light(green) remains on after your iron automatically shuts off the power to the heater.
This light indicates that the iron is still plugged into the electrical outlet and voltage is being
supplied to the power base.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR IRON
AFTER EACH USE
1. Press the steam button to " DOWN(DRY) " POSITION.
2. Press the " SET " pad until the " OFF/AUTO OFF " light turns on.
3. Unplug the iron.
4. Empty the water from the water tank. DO NOT store the iron with water inside.
5. Push the case cover until heard the sound clicks. It will be locked.
until heard the
sound cliks
MAIN BODY
1. When cleaning the main body of the iron , make sure that iron has cooled down.
2. Wipe the iron with a damp cioth If necessary, use a mild detergent.
NEVER USE ANY HARSH CLEANERS.
SOLEPLATE
* Starch and other residue can be easily removed from the soleplate with a damp cloth.
* To avoid scratching the finish, never use a metallic pad to clean the soleplate, and
never place the iron on a rough surface. l
“if synthetics are being ironed on a higher temperature level as instructed, not only will
the fabric be ruined. but also the solepiate will often be covered with the melted remains
of the synthetic faric.
* The best way to remove synthetic residue from the soleplate is to iron over an old
cotton rag, after heating the iron.
CAUTION:
Never use steam iron cleaners in the iron since it may cause damage inside the iron.
lf the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or
THE iron must only be used with the power base provided.
