• 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 it is 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 Switch turned to the close
position .
• INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

in 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.
1. Turn off the iron and disconnect the plug from the electrical wall outlet
before filling the Iron with water.
2. Turn the Steam Select Switch to the closed position .

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.

injuries.
IRONING TEMPERATURE
• Check the ironing instructions on the label of the items that you wish to
iron. Check the temperature setting table for further instructions.
• Should the specific ironing instructions not appear on the label, follow
instructions on the temperature setting table. This table is only for 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
type 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).
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
1. Set the iron in on upright position.
2. Connect the iron to an electrical wall socket.
3. Set the Temperature Control dial (Figure 4) to the correct ironing
temperature as indicated on the label or the temperature settings table.
