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 itoning 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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning your iron, always make sure that it is disconnected from the
electrical wall socket and is completely cool.
SOLEPLATE
• Residue on the Soleplate can be wiped off with a cloth soaked in a solution
of water and vinegar.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they
may damage the finish.
HOUSING
• The housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and then wiped dry.
• Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should
be necessary. If for any reason your Steam Iron should require repairs, do
not try to fix it yourself.
When the iron is plugged in, the wait/ready light will be red, indicating that
there is power to the iron. If you leave the iron:
• in a horizontal position without moving it, or accidentally tip the iron over, it
will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. The wait/ready light will blink
red to let you know that the iron has stopped heating.
• in a vertical position (on its heel rest) without moving it, the iron will
automatically turn off after 15 minutes. The wait/ready light will blink red to let
you know that the iron has stopped heating.
IMPORTANT: The wait/ready light will continue to blink red until the iron is
unplugged or reset. To reset the iron: Move the iron back and forth to reset.
The wait/ready light will change from blinking red to solid red and the iron will
start heating again.
