IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including
the following:
• Read all instructions before using appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used near children.
• This appliance is not for use by children.
• Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a damaged cord
or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped. Do not
disassemble the iron. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair or mechanical adjustment.
• Do not place any part of the unit inor under water or other liquid. Seeinstructions
for cleaning.
• Do not use outdoors or while standing in damp area.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• The iron should be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution
when you turn a steam iron upside down — there may be hot water in the
reservoir.
• Do not leave hot iron unattended.
• Position iron carefully on ironing board to avoid it from being knocked over.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
• This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is
absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it
cannot be pulled or tripped over.

USING YOUR IRON
Note: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the soleplate steam vents to
ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric from residue possibly left in the vents from the
manufacturing process. To do that, see SELF-CLEANING/FLUSHING.

IRONING WITHOUT STEAM
The iron can be used on the NO STEAM dry setting with or without water in the tank. However it
is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while dry ironing.
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 3.
2. Shift the steam setting switch to the NO STEAM setting. Diagram 4.
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting. Diagram 3.
5. When the indicator light turns off, the iron has reached the desired temperature.
6. If desired, you may still use the spray or burst buttons, as long as there is water in the tank.
7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting, and unplug. Diagram 3.
Allow to cool before cleaning or storing.
NOTE: During ironing, the ready light may turn on again which indicates that the iron is heating up
to maintain the proper temperature.
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO NOT fill it with water.
IRONING WITH STEAM
When using as a steamiron, be surethe temperature setting onthe control dial is within the STEAM
range to avoid water spotting on a garment.
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 3.
2. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water. (See FILLING THE WATER TANK
instructions.)
3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to STEAM. Diagram 3.
5. Allowapproximately2minutesfor theirontoreachthedesiredtemperature. (Theindicator light
will turn off.)
6. Shift the steam switch to the STEAM position. Diagram 4. As soon as the iron is held
horizontally, steam will flow through the vents. Placing the iron on its heel in an upright position
interrupts the flow of steam.
7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting and unplug. Diagram 3.
Allow to cool before cleaning or storing.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.

IRONING WITH EXTRA STEAM
For a penetrating blast of steam to iron faster and to smooth difficult wrinkles, firmly depress the
blast of steam button. Between the individual blasts of steam, pause for at least 5 seconds to let
the iron reheat for maximum additional steam. If water drops escape as you use the blast of steam,
turn the temperature control dial to a slightly warmer setting and wait for the indicator light to go
out.
CAUTION: Avoid coming in contact with escaping steam.
USING THE SPRAY BUTTON
For a mist of water to moisten dry and difficult fabrics such as linen, cotton or wool, or to handle
stubborn wrinkles, press the spray button. The spray function is also handy to moisten creases
accidentally ironed into the fabric.

FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Unplug the iron before filling.
2. Press the steam switch in the NO STEAM position, and hold the iron upright. Diagram 4.
3. Using the enclosed measuring cup, slowly pour water into the water tank opening. Diagram
5. Afterwards, hold the iron horizontally and look through the water window to check the water
level. (Slightly more than 2 cupfuls with the enclosed measuring cup fills the tank to
maximum.) Diagram 6.
Note: Your iron is designed to use tap water. However, if your water is very hard, it is
recommended you use distilled water. DO NOT use water from home water softening systems
because such water may contain minerals that may harm the iron.
EMPTYING THE WATER TANK
The water tank should be emptied after each use. To do so:
1. Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet.
2. While the iron is still warm, hold the iron over a sink and allow the iron to drain by tipping the
point of the iron down.
3. Gently shake the iron to loosen any water drops that may be trapped. The warmth of the iron
should dry out any remaining water.
Note: If you empty the water tank after the iron has cooled, set the iron in an upright position on
its heel, plug it in and set the temperature dial to maximum heat for 2 minutes. Then unplug the
iron and let it cool before storing it.

SELF-CLEANING/FLUSHING
Flushing the iron is advised after every 5 usages to prevent harmful mineral build-up that can clog
the iron and prevent it from heating and steaming properly. To flush the iron:
1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 3.
2. Shift the steam switch to the NO STEAM position. Diagram 4.
3. Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum fill line. Diagram 6.
4. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control dial to its highest setting
it heat for 2 minutes.

5. Set the steam switch to the STEAM position.
6. Place a hand towel over the ironing surface.
7. Holding the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel, depress the blast of steam button
several times, remembering to pause at least 5 seconds between blasts to allow the iron to
reheat.
8. Pass the iron over a damp cloth to clean the soleplate or use Faultless® Hot Iron Cleaner.
9. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting and unplug. Diagram 3.
Allow to cool before cleaning or storing.
