IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Before connecting the appliance, check if the voltage indicated on the rating
plate corresponds with the mains voltage in your home.
2. Use the iron only for its intended purpose, for ironing fabrics on ironing
board. To protect against burns or injury to persons, do not iron or steam
fabrics while being worn on the body.
3. The iron should always be turned to the MIN setting before connecting or
disconnecting from the power supply. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect
the plug from the wall socket. Instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to
disconnect the iron.
4. If the power cord is damaged or defective, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to
avoid a hazard. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used after reassembly.
5. When you have nished ironing or when you are leaving iron unattended:
- turn the Steam Control Knob to NO STEAM position, and the Temperature
Control Dial to “0”
- stand the iron upright,
- disconnect the iron from the wall outlet.
6. The 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 do not play with the
appliance. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or
on ironing board.
7. Do not immerse the iron or the cord into water or any other liquid.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. These
parts become hot and may cause burns. Take care if you turn the iron upside
downs: there may be not hot water in the tank.

9. The plug and cord should not be allowed to touch the hot sole plate. Let
the iron cool down completely before taking it away. Coil the cord loosely
around the iron for storage.
10. Always disconnect the iron from the wall outlet before lling with water or
when emptying the water after use.
11. To avoid an overloaded circuit, do not operate another high voltage
appliance in the same electric circuit.
12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating
equal to or greater than the iron shall be used. A cord for less amperage
can result in a risk of re or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be
taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
13. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface. When placing the iron
on its Heel Rest, ensure that the surface on which the Heel Rest is placed is
stable.
14. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
15. The iron is for household use only.
16. To protect against burns or injury to persons, do not direct steam toward
the body when ironing or self-cleaning.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTE: · Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result, the iron may smoke
slightly when switched on for the rst time. It will not happen again after a few uses.
· Before using for the rst time remove any protective lms or stickers from the sole plate
and the cabinet. Clean the sole plate with a soft cloth.
· When using the iron for the rst time, test it on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the
sole plate and water tank are completely clean.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
NOTE: This appliance requires a minimum of 1200 watts and it should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit.
NOTE: Neither Westinghouse nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced when using this product for
the rst time. It will quickly disappear. When using the steam function for the rst
time, do not direct steam towards the laundry as there could be debris emitted from
the steam vents.
FILLING WITH WATER
Make sure both the steam control knob and temperature control dial are in the MIN
position.
Hold the iron upright so that the water lling inlet is in a horizontal position. Fill with
water through the water lling inlet until it reaches the MAX mark indicated on the
side of the iron. Never ll above this mark.
SETTING TEMPERATURE
Follow the ironing instructions on the garment label. If there are no instructions and
you do not know the kind of fabric, please consult the table below.
NOTE: If the fabric consists of various kinds of fabrics, always select the temperature
required by the most delicate of the fabrics.
SET UP & USE
FABRIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Silk Low temperature •
Wool Medium temperature ••
Cotton, Linen High temperature •••

STEAM IRONING
Place the iron in a vertical position and set the temperature control dial at the
minimum/low heat setting.
Insert the plug into the socket and the power indicator light will illuminate. Then
turn the temperature control dial to the “MAX” mark. The pilot light will come on,
indicating that the iron is heating up.
When the pilot light turns off, the set temperature has been reached and the iron is
ready to use.
During ironing, the pilot light on the iron automatically switches on/off as the
thermostat maintains the set temperature. You may continue ironing during this
process.
Turn the steam control turning knob to the desired position. Steam will be produced
as soon as the iron is held horizontally.
SPRAYING
Press the spray button to spray water on clothes as often as required.
NOTE: When using the water spray function, ensure that there is enough water in the
water tank. You may have to pump the spray button several times the rst
time you use the iron in order to start the spraying function.

SET UP & USE
BURST OR VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
Press the burst of steam button to generate a powerful burst of steam that
penetrates the fabric and helps to smooth creases. Wait a few seconds before
pressing again.
By pressing the burst of steam button at intervals you can also iron vertically, which
is ideal for curtains or hung garments.
DRY IRONING
For ironing without steam, follow the “STEAM IRONING” instructions, however, the
steam control knob should remain in the NO STEAM position.
SELF-CLEANING
NOTE: The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the soleplate, removing impurities. It is
recommended to be done every 10 to 15 days.
With the iron plugged in, set the steam control knob to NO STEAM position.
Fill the water tank to MAX level
Set the temperature control dial to MAX and wait for the indicator light to turn off.
Pull the power cord plug out of the wall socket, rotate the steam control knob to
SELF CLEAN position.
NOTE: In the Self Clean position, the steam control knob will elevate. Should you
happen to pull out the knob completely, simply place back in its original
position.
Then, press the self-cleaning button until the boiling water, steam and impurities
come out.
When the soleplate has cooled down, wipe it off with a damp cloth.

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM
A special lter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents scale build-up in
the soleplate. The lter is permanent and does not need replacing.
NOTE: Use tap water only. Distilled and demineralized water makes the anti-calc
system ineffective by altering its physical and chemical characteristics.
ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM
This iron is equipped with a drip stop function. The iron automatically stops steaming
when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate.
This is ideal when ironing delicate fabrics.
3-WAY AUTO SHUTOFF
An electronic safety device will
automatically switch the heating
element off if the iron has not been
moved for more than 30 seconds in
a horizontal position (Fig. A) or if the
iron is on its side. (Fig. B) If in a vertical
position (Fig. C), this will occur after
8-9 minutes of not being moved. To
indicate that the heating element has
been switched off, the auto off indicator
light will start blinking.
When picking up the iron again, the
the power indicator light will turn solid
again.
Wait for the pilot light to turn on, then
off, the iron is now ready to use once
again.

HELPFUL TIPS
• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
• You should rst iron garments requiring low temperature to avoid damaging them
with an iron that is too hot.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as
a seam or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and
gradually increase the heat to nd the best setting.
• When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow
approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the
steam to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out
the moisture.
• To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use and iron that is too
hot because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.
• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron
over the ap. Never use iron over an unprotected zipper.
CLEANING AND STORING YOUR IRON
After use, let the iron cool down and then lift the iron with the lling hole pointing
downward to empty any remaining water from the tank.
Insert the power cord plug into the wall socket, set the temperature control dial to
MAX for 1-2 minutes to evaporate the remaining water and then unplug the iron and
let it cool down before storing.
CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING AND CARE
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
IF THE STEAM IRON FAILS TO OPERATE:
A) Check to make sure that the steam iron is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove
the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to
be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
C) Vigorously move the iron to re-set the auto shut-off.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE SOLVES THE PROBLEM, CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE STEAM IRON YOURSELF.
