OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AUTO SHUT-OFF

The Professional Lightweight Iron is
equipped with an electronic auto-off.
The electronic auto-off switches the
iron off if it has been left standing
unmoved in any position (sideways, flat
or upright) for approximately 7-9
minutes. A red light on the LED display
panel will flash when the iron switches
itself off. (Fig. 6) To switch the iron
back on, just shake the iron side-to-
side several times until the "Power ON"
light is re-illuminated. Then re-set the
temperature to the desired setting.
Note: The iron may require additional
warm-up time if the auto-off feature
was activated for an extended period.

EMPTYING THE IRON
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control to "0" and
press the electronic temperature
control button until the power light is
lit.
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
4. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
5. Place iron upright and allow to cool
before storing.
CAUTION: Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces, hot
water or steam.
SELF CLEANING
It is important to "Self Clean" the iron at
least every two weeks to remove scale,
calcium, etc. The harder the water, the
more often the iron should be self
cleaned.
1. Set the variable steam control to any
steam position.
2. Fill the water tank up to the "MAX"
level.
3. Stand the iron on its heel. Plug the
iron into the electrical outlet.
4. Press the electronic temperature
control button until you get the
"MAX" temperature setting on the
display panel and wait until the iron
heats up and temperature setting
light stops flashing.
5. Turn the variable steam control all
the way to the right to the self-
cleaning position and hold the iron
horizontally over the sink. (Fig. 7)
6. Boiling water and steam will now be
ejected from the holes in the
soleplate. The impurities and scale
are washed away with it.
7. Move the iron back and forth as this
happens.
8. If there is any water left in the water
tank after the iron stops steaming,
just empty the remaining water in a
sink following the instructions for
emptying the iron.
9. Turn the variable steam control to
the "0" position when the water tank
is empty.
10. Place the iron back upright on its
heel to cool down before storing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to "0" after you have emptied
the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
NOTE:
The anti drip function reduces
water dripping and water stains. It does
not prevent water dripping and water
stains if you press the steam burst
button too often or if the temperature is
too low. The amount of water droplets
will eventually decrease after the iron is
used for 2 to 3 tankfuls of steaming and
ironing.
