Using the
Home & Away Steam Iron
SETTING VOLTAGE
The Home & Away Steam Iron 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 white 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 white notch. Slide Voltage Selector to the
right, towards 220-240V label (FIGURE 1-B).
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 MAX (1.1 oz. / 32 ml.) mark.
NOTE: In order to extend the life of your unit and keep it functioning
at it's maximum potential, it is highly recommended that distilled or
de-mineralized water be used in Water Tank.
4. Open Water Tank Cap. Pour water from Measuring Cup into Water Tank
(FIGURE 2). 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.
