AUTO CLEAN® button 13. Soleplate 14. Cord wrap and cord hook (not shown) CLEAN MAX MIN Dry Steam/Surge of Steam Spray Symbols How to Use This appliance is intended for household use only. GETTING STARTED Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron. Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening system. Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before beginning to iron. FILLING WATER TANK 1. With iron on flat surface with soleplate down, open water-fill cover (A). 2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opened chamber until water reaches the MAX level mark on the side of the water tank. Do not overfill. 3. Close the water-fill cover. 4. Plug in the iron. The on indicator light illuminates. Once the iron reaches the selected temperature, the light goes off. The light will then cycle on and off during ironing. Note: If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron and follow above steps. Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside seam or hem) before ironing. SMART STEAM® TECHNOLOGY The Smart Steam® system automatically produces steam when you turn the fabricselect dial between settings 4 and 6. The higher the setting, the more powerful the steam. SURGE OF STEAM Use to remove stubborn creases. 1. With the water tank filled to the MAX mark, set fabric-select dial to appropriate setting (between 4 and 6) for your fabric. See fabric guide under the heel rest and read garment's label to help you determine fabric type (B). 2. Be sure there is water in the reservoir. Steam is automatically turned off between settings 0 and 3. 3. For best performance, use surge of steam at 5-second intervals (C). 4. When finished ironing, turn the fabric-select dial to 0 and unplug the iron. Important: Always stand the iron on its heel rest when powered on but not in use.

Make sure iron is unplugged and has cooled completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water. Add mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron. 2. After cleaning, steam iron over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents. AUTO CLEANING To keep the steam vents free of any buildup, about once a month follow these instructions: 1. Fill the water tank well below the MAX line. Plug in the iron. 2. Turn the fabric-select dial to 6 and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow it to heat until the on indicator light goes out and comes on again. 3. Turn fabric selection dial to 0, unplug the iron and hold over a sink with the soleplate facing down. 4. Press and hold the AUTO CLEAN® button. Be careful, as hot water and steam will come out of the steam vents (H). Continue to hold the AUTO CLEAN® button until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock iron side-to-side and front-to-back. 5. When finished, release the button, stand the iron on its heel rest and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water. STORING YOUR IRON 1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool. 2. Check that the selector is set to 0. 3. Wrap the cord around the iron and insert cord into the clip to secure in place (J). 4. Store vertically on its heel to prevent water leaking from the soleplate. Vertical STEAM Use for removing wrinkles from hanging clothes and drapes. 1.

Pull the fabric tight in your free hand and pump the CLEAN MAX MIN button as you move the iron over the fabric (D). USING SPRAY Use to dampen tough wrinkles at any setting (E). 1. Be sure the iron is filled with water. 2. On first use, pump the button several times. DRY IRONING 1. Turn the fabric selection dial to setting 1, 2, or 3 to iron without steam (F).
