Operating Instructions

  1. Use the iron only on an ironing board or stable heat-resistant surface.
  2. Check the clothing care label and start with the lowest safe heat setting for the fabric.
  3. If using steam or spray mist, unplug the iron first, open the water-fill cover near the front/top of the iron, and fill the translucent tank with ordinary tap water only up to the max line.
  4. Close the water-fill cover before plugging the iron in.
  5. Turn the fabric/temperature dial to the fabric you are ironing; the SmartSteam feature adjusts steam based on the heat setting.
  6. Plug in the iron and let it heat for about 90 seconds before ironing.
  7. Use the spray mist button only when you want to lightly dampen a wrinkled spot.
  8. Iron carefully, keeping the hot soleplate away from skin, cords, furniture, carpet, bedding, and towels.
  9. When finished, turn the temperature dial to the lowest/off position and unplug the iron.
  10. Stand the iron upright on its heel and let it cool completely before putting it away.

Have a problem?

  • Iron shuts off while you are using it
    1. The iron has automatic shutoff for safety.
    2. Move the iron gently to wake it, then wait briefly for it to reheat.
    3. The indicator light may blink while auto shutoff is active.
    4. If it will not reheat, unplug it and contact your host.
  • Water leaks or spits from the iron
    1. Stop ironing and stand the iron upright.
    2. Make sure the fabric dial is set high enough for steam; very low heat can cause dripping.
    3. Do not overfill the translucent water tank.
    4. Let the iron heat fully before using steam or spray mist again.
    5. If leaking continues, unplug the iron and contact your host.
  • Fabric sticks, scorches, or gets shiny
    1. Stop immediately and lift the iron away from the fabric.
    2. Lower the heat setting and test on an inside seam before continuing.
    3. Use a towel or pressing cloth for delicate fabrics.
    4. Contact your host if the soleplate has residue on it.
  • Iron may have been left hot or plugged in
    1. Do not touch the soleplate.
    2. Turn the dial to the lowest/off position and unplug the iron by the plug, not the cord.
    3. Stand it upright on a heat-safe surface and let it cool completely.
    4. Keep children away until it is cool.
  • Cord, plug, or iron looks damaged
    1. Do not use the iron.
    2. Unplug it if safe to do so.
    3. Contact your host for a replacement.
