HOW TO USE YOUR DIGITAL IRON 6. The iron is now ready for dry ironing.
7. Use the Spray Button if moisture is needed.

2. Press the Spray Button while the iron is in the horizontal position, a fine spray
of water will emit from the Spray Nozzle.

necessary to pump the Burst Button several times to start Burst for the first
time at each ironing session.

the temperature setting is too low, water may drip from the Soleplate. Allow 5
seconds between uses of the Burst feature to prevent water spotting.

button several times remembering to pause about 5 seconds between bursts
to allow the iron to reheat.
7. Unplug when finished. Allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron
or storing. Use a damp cloth and wipe off exterior of iron before storing, handling
or cleaning.
