English English Before use The temperature selector of the iron has words, dots and steam symbols. The dots are symbols for 3 temperature ranges: How to use as an iron 1. Move the steam/dry selector to the dry position to avoid water leakage. • Low temperature • • Medium temperature High temperature Some fabrics are labeled with these dots as a guide for selecting the proper ironing temperature setting. Use a press cloth if necessary. Notes: ɾThe thermostat operating indicator light goes on and off alternately to indicate the changing temperature of soleplate. If you turn the temperature selector from a high temperature to a lower temperature, wait until the indicator light goes on before using the iron. ɾDo not place the hot iron on cloth for extended time or wrap cloth over the hot iron. 2. Fill the water tank with water when using steam, power shot, vertical steam or spray. Open the water fill cover. Hold the iron as shown and fill the iron with water up to " MAX " (about 300 mL). Use a clean cup for filling. " MAX " Place iron in vertical position to check water level. Close water tank cover firmly to prevent spillage during ironing. Note: Do not overfill the water tank. The steam will release through the vents when the iron is positioned vertically. 3. Position the iron in the heel rest position and make sure the temperature selector is set to " OFF ". 4. Plug into a 120V AC household outlet. 5. Set the temperature selector. The thermostat operating indicator light goes on. Refer to "Guide for Steam/Dry selector" on P10 • Please make sure the temperature select indicator setting is on " MAX " when using " high steam " and " power shot ". Note: If the temperature of soleplate is high, the light does not go on. 6. Wait until the thermostat operating indicator light goes off. Hold the iron horizontally and move the steam/dry selector into the steam position when using the " power shot ".čP10) 7. After each use Set the steam/dry selector to the dry position. If the steam/dry selector is not in the dry position after using, remaining water will move into the soleplate and can result in burns when the iron is used next time. Empty the water tank immediately after using. Do not store the iron with water in it. If you empty the water tank after it has cooled, heat the iron for about 5 minutes with the temperature selector set to " MAX ". • Do not wind the power cord around the iron. It may be damaged by the hot soleplate. Wait until the iron has cooled before storing it, and always set it on the heel rest to protect the soleplate from scratches, corrosion or stains. 08 09
