To Change Voltage Make sure the unit is unplugged. Insert small screwdriver or plug blade into the slot on the dual voltage selector switch and rotate as follows: • For 120 volts: switch should be turned to the right (clockwise). • For 240 volts: switch should be turned to the left (counterclockwise). If using 240 volts, you must use an appropriate adapter plug. NOTE: Damage to unit and garments may occur if unit is operated at 240V with switch set to 120V. 4 Before First Use • Use ordinary tap water. If you have extremely hard water, alternate between tap water and distilled water for use in travel iron/steamer. • During first use of travel iron/steamer, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard. • Many irons/steamers spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses. • Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare travel iron/steamer for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while pressing the steam button. To Dry Iron 1. With travel iron/steamer unplugged, press Handle Release Button and rotate handle 180 degrees until it locks and is parallel or "in line" with travel iron/steamer body. 2. Make sure dual voltage selector switch is set to correct voltage and then plug travel iron/steamer into power supply. 3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to desired temperature. With travel iron/ steamer resting on side position, allow three minutes for travel iron/steamer to reach desired temperature. Do not preheat travel iron/steamer with soleplate facing down. 4. To turn travel iron/steamer off, turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF (O). 5. Unplug travel iron/steamer. Allow to cool completely before returning handle to storage position and placing travel iron/steamer in storage bag. 5
