HOW TO USE

IMPORTANT: This unit has no on / off switch. The unit must be plugged in to turn on and unplugged to turn off.

DRY IRONING

IMPORTANT: Make sure the Steam Button is locked in the lowered position before dry ironing. This will prevent any water from accidentally dripping.

Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial clockwise so that the small arrow on the Hand Grip points to one of three heat settings on the Dial. The 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.
When the Heating Indicator Light turns off, the Ironing Plate is heated and ready for use.

NOTE: During use, Hethe Heating Indicator Light will cycle on and off as the unit works to maintain a constant temperature. You may continue to iron while the Light cycles.

STORAGE & CARE

PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Dual Voltage Travel Iron for storage is quick and simple. When you have finished your streaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Steam Button is locked in the lowered position before storing. This will prevent any water from accidentally dripping.

Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may cause the unit to spew water, limit the effectiveness, and reduce the life of your Dual Voltage Travel Iron.

The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or demineralized water when using your Dual Voltage Travel Iron Steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the Reservoir be cleaned at least once a month to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of your unit and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.

MAINTENANCE

After EACH USE, allow the unit to cool, and add 1 oz. Water, shake to release mineral buildup and empty tank.

TO REMOVE MINERAL BUILD-UP:

Follow STEPS 1-3 under PROPER STORAGE section above; however, leave Water Tank Cap open.
IMPORTANT: The Unit should remain unplugged during the cleaning procedure.
Make a mixture of 0.5 oz. Distilled water and 0.5 oz. Vinegar.
Pour water-vinegar solution into the Water Tank. Close the Water Tank Cap.
Follow normal steam ironing procedure, as outlined on Page 14. Allow the unit to steam out the full contents of the Water Tank. When finished, lock the Steam Button in the lowered position and unplug the unit.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then refill the Water Tank with fresh distilled water. Repeat STEP 4 until the vinegar odor dissipates.
Store unit as normal.
