READ THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING YOUR
Panasonic IRON TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE IRON FEATURES
BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR CORDLESS IRON
How does it work?
A cordless iron is NOT a rechargeable device. You can not continuously use this
iron without placing it in the Power Base: the device that provides the energy
required to heat-up the soleplate. The iron will re-heat quickly every time it is
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 a hidden area of the garment.
3. Before ironing, sort the garments according to the different heat settings required.
Do not touch plastic buttons with a hot iron, as this may damage the buttons.
Caution is also 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.
INTERNATIONAL TEXTILE CARE & LABELING CODES
tlAaO
Washing Bleaching Ironing Dry Cleaning
A symbol crossed out indicates that the article of clothing
must not be subjected to the particular treatment.
EXAMPLE: (DO NOT BLEACH) )^
HOW TO REMOVE THE COVER CASE _
1. Place the unit on a firm and stable surface.
2. While pulling the Case Lock to the outside position, lift the Cover Case to open.
- 5 -

NOTE:
1. The Cover Case cannot be unlocked when you
lift the Cover Case with the Power Base.
2. Please detach the Shock Absorber and Film
before ironing.
HOW TO FILL WITH WATER
AWARNING
Be sure the iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet before filling with water.
The iron can be filled with the Water Tank in place or removed. Confirm that the Steam/Dry
Selector is in the Dry ironing position when installing or removing the Tank.
1. Remove the Water Tank by pressing the Water Tank Release Button.
2. Open the Water Fill Cover.
3. Fill the Water Tank up to the " MAX" line.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check the water level with the Water Tank held in its vertical position.
4. Close the Water Fill Cover.
5. Re-install the Water Tank into the main unit. Push it until a click sound is heard.
Most tap water can be used in this iron. If water is very hard, distilled or demineralized
water should be used. Do not use water processed through home water softening
systems because this water contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron.
Do not use water additives or substitute water such as linen or scented water in the steam
iron. They can stain fabrics or damage the iron.
- 6 -

HOW TO ENERGIZE THE IRON _
To maintain the temperature at the selected level, the iron must be energized while it rests
securely on the Power Base. The Power Base is also the intended rest place for the iron.
AWARNING
When you need to set the iron down, the iron must be placed only on the Power Base.
Placing it on fabrics while hot can cause the fabric to scorch or burn, which can cause a fire.
■ Use only electric iron model NI-WL600 with this power base.
■ Hot surface/hot support rollers. Do not touch after iron is energized.
HOWTO CONTROL TEMPERATURE
- ► How to operate the Temperature Control Pad("SET" Pad)
NOTE: All the lights will turn off once the iron leaves the Power Base. They will turn on again
when the iron is re-placed.
HOW TO USE AS A STEAM IRON
1. Fill iron with water. See section " HOW TO FILL WITH WATER H .
2. Plug the cord into a standard 120V- 60Hz electrical outlet.
3. Set the iron on the Power Base securely. The green 11 OFF 1 1 light will turn on.
NOTE: If the green light does not turn on, replace the iron on the Power Base
again, otherwise the Temperature Control Pad cannot function.
4. Push the 11 SET 1 1 Pad to the corresponding temperature level. The red light starts blinking.

after the Temperature Control light turns on continuously. You can then start ironing.
Note: Anti-Drip System will activate when the temperature of the Soleplate's surface
drops. At the same time, the steam will stop; it is not a sign of malfunction when
you hear a clicking sound. In this situation, you have to put your iron back on
the Power Base to reheat.
HOW TO USE AS A DRY IRON
1. Move the Steam/Dry Selector to the Dry position.
2. Plug the cord into a standard 120V-60Hz electrical outlet.
3. Set the iron on the Power Base securely. The green 11 OFF 1 1 light will turn on.
NOTE: If the green light does not turn on, replace the iron on the Power Base again, or

4. Push the " SET" Pad to the " HIGH" temperature level. The red light starts blinking.
5. Preheat the iron until the light turns on continuously, usually about 1-2 minutes.
6. Simply pump the" Jet of Steam Button " when steam is desired. Pump the" Jet of Steam
Button " several times at the beginning of each ironing session.
7. Allow at least 5 seconds between uses of "Jet of Steam Button 11 to prevent water spotting.
Use a press cloth if necessary.
- 8 -

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 11 Jet of Steam Button \
Set temperature at 1 1 HIGH 11 level.
To avoid hot water from dripping out of the Soleplate, please give 5 seconds
of interval time before re-pumping
2. Vertical Steam
To get better results when using vertical steam, hang the garment on a clothes hanger. Curtains
and drapes may also be steamed once they’re hung. Hold the iron away from your body, close
to but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tight with your free hand and pump the Vertical
Steam Button (Jet of Steam Button) at 5 seconds intervals as you pass the iron over the
wrinkled fabric.
AwarnincT
Never iron clothes on the body or point your iron at anyone when steaming. Hot steam can cause
skin burns. Keep hands and body away from steam areas while using vertical steam feature.
3. Anti-Drip System (Automatic Water Seal)
This model has an Anti-Drip System. When the temperature of the Soleplate's surface drops
below 250 F(121 °C), the valve for the vaporizing chamber in the iron automatically closes
and stops the water from going in further. This prevents hot unvaporized water from ejecting
out of 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 not a sign of malfunction when you hear a clicking sound.
This sound can be heard whenever this System is activated.
4. Automatic Shut-Off
The Automatic Shut-Off System provides you with a visible warning signal before the iron
automatically shuts off. The iron will automatically shut itself off if it has been left on the
Power Base longer than 10 minutes. Ten seconds before the actual shut-off, the "OFF"
indicator will start blinking rapidly.
If the iron is not moved during the warning, the heater in the iron's Soleplate will automatically
shut off.
The Automatic Shut-Off System activates only after the temperature reaches its selected level.
To reheat your iron after it automatically shuts off, simply push " SET 1 1 Pad until the red light
appears at the desired temperature indicator.
" OFF" light(green) remains on after your iron automatically shuts off.
This light indicates that the iron is still plugged into the electrical outlet and voltage is being
supplied to the Power Base.
5. Spray
Note: Before using the spray feature, check the fabric label for ironing instructions because
some fabrics may be spotted or stained with moisture.
The spray feature is particularly helpful for removing stubborn wrinkles and where extra
dampening is needed.
- 9 -

The spray may be used with steam or dry ironing.
i_i
1. Simply pump the Spray Mist Button ^ whenever spray is desired.
If the spray doesn't come out immediately, keep pumping until it does
2. To get a finer spray, pump the Button vigorously.
To get a more powerful spray, pump the Button more slowly.
For best results, use a quick, full stroke.
6. Stay Clean Vents
The built-in Anti Calcium System (Calc Cut) in the Water Reservoir continuously reduces scale
buildup in the vaporizing chamber of the iron.
This system makes it possible to use the steam function for a long period of time and prevents
steam vents from clogging.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR IRON
AFTER EACH USE
1. Press the " SET" Pad until the 11 OFF 1 1 light turns on.
2. Move the Steam/Dry Selector to Dry Position.
3. Unplug the iron, retract the cord slowly. Always hold the plug and cord with one hand while
it is retracting.
4. Empty the water from the Water Tank. DO NOT store the iron with water inside.
5. Push the Cover Case until it clicks to lock.
1. When cleaning the main body of the iron , make sure the iron has cooled down.
2. Wipe the iron with a damp cloth 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.
* If synthetics are being ironed on a higher temperature level than instructed, not only
will the fabric be ruined, but the Soleplate will often be covered with the melted remains
of the synthetic fabric.
* The best way to remove synthetic residue from the Soleplate is to iron over an old
cotton rag after heating the iron.
A caution"
1) Never use steam iron cleaners in the iron. Such cleaners may cause damage to the inside of the iron.
2) If the Power Cord is damaged, it must be replaced with the proper replacement cord, by a qualified
technician. Do not replace it yourself.
3) Use only the specified Power Base. Do not use others.

de maniere qu’il ne puisse etre tire ou causer un trebuchement.
Afin de reduire tout risque
de blessure et de dommage a
votre fer a repasser:
1. N’utilisez jamais de produits de nettoyage pour fer a vapeur a I’interieur
du fer car cela pourrait endommager des pieces du fer a repasser.
2. N’utilisez pas d’additif dans I’eau ni de substitution tel que de I’eau
parfumee ou de lin dans le reservoir du fer. Ces produits peuvent tacher
certains tissus.
3. Si le commutateur d’intensite de vapeur/a sec n’est pas sur la position
«k sec»apres usage, I’eau restant dans le reservoir pourrait couler sur la
semelle du fer et causer des brulures au prochain usage du fer a repasser.
4. N’utilisez pas de vapeur ou la fonction «jet de vapeur » pendant que
le cordon est debranche ou lorsque le cadrant du selecteur de la
temperature est £ la position "OFF". L’eau restera k I’interieur de la
semelle, ce qui causera des taches.

Conseils et suggestions avant [’utilisation du fer
1. Ce fer peut utiliser I’eau de la plupart des robinets. Cependant, si I’eau est extremement
dure dans votre region, vous devriez utiliser de I’eau distillee ou demineralisee. N’utilisez
pas de I’eau traitee par un adoucisseur d’eau domestique car elle contient des mineraux
qui peuvent endommager le fer.
2. II est recommande de commencer le repassage sur des morceaux qui necessitent une
temperature plus basse. Un mauvais reglage de la temperature peut endommager les
tissus. Si vous n’etes pas certain du type de tissu, faites un essai de la temperature du
fer sur une partie cachee du vetement.
3. Avant de repasser, triez les vetements selon le degre de temperature requis.
Evitez de toucher aux boutons en plastique car la chaleur pourrait les endommager.
Soyez prudent en repassant autour des fermetures eclair ou autres articles semblables
afin de ne pas erafler la semelle.
