WARNING - To avoid damage to the unit or power cord, and to reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following: - Do not use the iron if it has been dropped, if there are
visible signs of damage, or if it is leaking. Shock, fire, or injury may occur. - Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Do not wrap cord around the unit, use the cord tie provided for storage. - Do not use power cord as handle, allow it to hang over edge of counters, or be crimped or closed in doors. - The iron must not be left unattended while it is plugged into any power outlet. - Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron. - A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets. - To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on this same circuit. - If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock
4 | ENGLISH
due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. - For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch should be placed in the 120 volt position. For use in several other countries, the voltage selector switch may need to be placed in the 240 volt position. Confirm the voltage available at each location before using the appliance. For connection to a 240 volt supply, use a suitable attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle. - Be sure dual voltage selector is in correct voltage position befor operating. Before plugging in, read the information about dual voltage operation contained in this manual. - This appliance was set at the factory to operate at 120 volts. Refer to the instructions in this manual for conversion to 240 volt operation. - This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrican. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. - To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. - Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use. Do not open water tank cap during use.
ENGLISH | 5

SETTING VOLTAGE
This product features dual-voltage functionality, which allows it to function correctly in regions with either 100-127V or 220-240V electrical voltage standards. Voltage is set using the Voltage Selector.
For use in Canada or North America, the voltage selector switch should be placed in the 120 volt position. For use in most foreign countries, the selector switch must be placed in the 240 volt position. CONFIRM the voltage available at each location before using the iron.
NOTE: For connection to a 240 volt supply an adaptor plug may be needed.
IMPORTANT: By default, the Voltage Selector is set to the 100-127V setting. Be sure to select the correct voltage for your location before plugging power cord into an electrical outlet.
To change the voltage setting:
NOTE: These steps assume that Voltage Selector is still set to 100-127V default.
1. Locate Voltage Selector, recessed inside slot at rear of Main Body. Note
the open notch in middle of Voltage Selector (FIGURE 1-A). 2. Find a tool with a fine tip - a pen is ideal.
3. Carefully insert tip of pen into notch. Slide Voltage Selector to the right, towards
220-240V label (FIGURE 1-B).
NOTCH
IMPORTANT: Be sure that Voltage Selector is moved as far to the right as possible for voltage setting to take effect correctly. Voltage Selector should appear as shown (FIGURE 1-C).
4. Unit is now ready for use in a 220V region. To set unit back to 100V, reverse STEPS 2 & 3, this time sliding Voltage Selector as far to the left (towards 100-127V label) as possible.

FILLING WATER TANK (FOR STEAM IRONING)
1. Turn off and unplug unit. 2. Place unit (Ironing Plate down) on a flat, heat-resistant surface. 3. Fill Measuring Cup with water up to (1.1 oz. / 32 ml.).
NOTE: In order to extend the life of your unit and keep it functioning at its maximum potential, it is highly recommended that distilled or de-mineralized water be used in Water Tank. Using tap water could result in mineral buildup which could block the steam vents. This will reduce the effectiveness of this unit and may cause unit to spit or spurt hot water. Follow cleaning instructions provided. 4. Open Water Tank Cap. Pour water from Measuring Cup into Water Tank. Close Water Tank Cap. While steam-ironing, the Water Tank Windows let you monitor the water level in the Water Tank. When the water level becomes low: 1. Turn off and unplug unit. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. 2. Follow STEPS 1-3 above. 3. Plug power cord back in and resume ironing as usual.

OPERATING UNIT
DRY IRONING
IMPORTANT: Make sure Steam Button is locked in lowered position before dry ironing. This will prevent any water from accidentally dripping.
1. Plug power cord into a convenient electrical outlet.
2. Turn Temperature Control Dial clockwise so that (·) is centered above one of the
four heat settings on the Dial. Heating Indicator Light will illuminate.
NOTE: It is recommended to start with lower temperatures first, as high settings designed for heavy materials can damage delicate fabrics.
3. When Heating Indicator Light turns off, Ironing Plate is heated and ready for use.
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD. Do NOT touch the Ironing Plate or surrounding area.
During use, Heating Indicator Light will cycle on and off as unit works to maintain a consumer controlled temperature.
NOTE: Heating Indicator Light is not intended to indicate whether ironing plate is HOT.

STEAM IRONING
1. Plug power cord into a convenient electrical outlet. 2. Turn Temperature Control Dial clockwise as far as possible to set unit to high
temperature (····). Heating Indicator Light will illuminate. 3. When Heating Indicator Light turns off, press Steam Button. Button will lock into
raised position, and unit will begin emitting steam from steam vents on Ironing Plate. NOTE: Unit is designed to steam horizontally. Steam flow will stop whenever unit is in vertical upright position. If unit is leaking excessively in vertical position, check that steam button is disengaged.
CAUTION: Burn Hazard. Hot steam may temporarily vent when the unit is positioned vertically. 4. To stop steam flow during use, press Steam Button again to lock it into the lowered position. This will prevent dripping in the upright position. Once all ironing tasks are finished, immediately turn Temperature Control Dial counter-clockwise until it is set to OFF position. Be sure that Steam Button is locked in lowered position - this will prevent water from accidentally dripping during next use. Prop unit upright on Stands to cool, and refer to CARE & STORAGE for proper cleaning and storage.
