Facilité d'utilisation
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. 1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance. 2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet. 3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet. 4. Before each use, inspect the cord for damage. If damage is found, do not use the appliance. 5. Let the iron cool completely before wrapping the cord. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break. DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. SPECIAL ATTENTION: This appliance is designed with a protective coating around the heating elements. When plugged in and operating for the first time, there may be momentary smoking while this coating is initially heated. This presents no danger to the user and does not indicate a defect in the unit. When using for the first time, allow the appliance to continue heating until the smoke dissipates. USING YOUR IRON Power Indicator Temperature Dial Heel Rest Cord Wrap Water Tank Max Fill Marking Non-Stick Soleplate Shot of Steam Button Spray Button Steam Control Dial Water Tank Inlet Sprayer Before first use, do the following: • Remove any stickers or protective covers from the soleplate. • Heat the iron to the maximum temperature and iron a piece of damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residue on the soleplate. • A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal. • Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal. 1) Fill the water tank: Open the tank cover and hold the iron in a slightly tilted position. Add water to the fill line. Do not exceed the “MAX” fill marking on the side of the iron. The maximum water volume is approximately 8 ounces/1 cup. Press the water tank cover closed. 2) Connect the cord to the power outlet. The blue light will illuminate. 3) Select the temperature: Turn the temperature dial to the desired fabric setting. Temperature settings are as follows: a. •Silk/Synth: 158 - 248°F (70 - 120°C). This setting is for silks and synthetics including nylon, polyester, acetate, acrylic, polyamide and rayon/viscose. This position is for dry ironing only. No steam will be produced at this setting. b. ••Wool: 212 - 320°F (100 - 160°C). This setting is for all wool or blended wool fabrics. It can be used with or without steam. c. •••Cotton: 284 - 392°F (140 - 200°C). This setting is for cotton or cotton/linen blend fabrics. It can be used with or without steam. d. Linen: 338 - 446°F (170 - 230°C). Use this setting for linen fabrics with or without steam. 4. Place the iron on the heel rest. Let the iron heat for a few minutes before setting the steam level. 5. Set the steam level: Move the steam control dial to the desired steam output level. If dry ironing is desired (always select dry setting for silks/syn- thetics), move the dial to the dry position mark until you hear a “click” sound. 6. Begin ironing. 7. Spray: Press the spray button a couple of times to moisten hard-to-iron fabrics. A fine mist will come out of the sprayer at the front of the iron. Before spraying, make sure there is enough water in the water tank. 8. Shot of Steam: A powerful shot of steam helps remove stubborn wrinkles or creases. Push down on the shot of steam button to activate. The shot- of-steam function can only be used at the “Linen/Max” temperature setting. 9. Anti-Drip: This iron features an “Anti-Drip” steam shut-off function. The iron automatically stops steaming at low temperatures to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate openings. Ironing Tips: • For silk, wool, and synthetic materials, iron on the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny spots. • Velvet and other textured fabrics such as corduroy that rapidly acquire shine, crush or matte, should be ironed in one direction only (with the nap) applying light pressure as you move the iron, Always keep the iron moving to prevent crushing and permanent marks. • Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. When steam-ironing wool fabrics, shining can readily occur. Preferably, set the steam control to the maximum position and use a dry pressing cloth over the wool fabric. It is best to press on the reverse side if possible. • For blended fabrics that contain various kinds of fibers, use the lowest temperature setting that applies to the most delicate fiber. • To prevent staining, avoid using the spray function on silk or other delicate fabrics. • The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing articles that require the lowest temperature setting, finishing with fabrics requiring higher settings. • Do no...
