If you wish to turn off the Auto-Lift system, move the switch on the back of the iron to the
off ( ) position. Your Touch&GlideTM will now operate like a standard iron. If the iron is left
in the horizontal position for more than 30 seconds, the Auto-LiftTM spacers will raise. This will
prevent the iron from burning your fabric or ironing surface. Touch the iron handle and the
iron will lower. You can restore Auto-LiftTM by returning the switch to the on (

water recommendations
This iron is designed to be used with regular tap water. If
your water is over 12 grams of hardness we recommend
using either inexpensive bottled spring water or mixing half
tap water with half distilled water. Never use 100% distilled
water as this can cause the iron to spit and leak.

Steam Selector: Slide the steam selector to set the amount of constant steam. The iron can
only produce steam when the fabric selector knob is set to the cotton or linen range ( ).
•••
Allow the iron to heat up (steady green status light) before activating the steam control.
Steam will be produced as soon as the iron is lowered.
Dry Ironing: To turn off the steam, slide the steam selector off (
).
TM
Auto Anti-Drip: Your Touch&Glide iron has an anti-drip feature which shuts off steam
production any time the iron is raised by the Auto-LiftTM spacers. This prevents unwanted
steam while the iron is standing. This feature also reduces water dripping from the soleplate
while the iron is not hot enough to produce steam. To prevent dripping entirely, keep the
steam selector in the off (
) position.
Spray
• press the spray button for a strong mist spray
• the spray will help with wrinkle removal
Burst of Steam
• firmly press the steam button for a strong burst of steam from the soleplate.
• the steam button can only be used when the iron is heated to the cotton or linen
range ( ).
•••
• wait at least 3 seconds between each press of steam button.
Vertical Steam
• to steam vertically press the steam button while holding the iron upright.
• this is useful for getting creases and wrinkles out of hanging clothes or curtains.
• wait at least 3 seconds between each press of the steam button.
auto shut-off system
TM
If the Touch&Glide iron is not being used while it is plugged in, the status light will flash red and the iron will
turn itself off. The auto shut-off timing depends on whether the Auto-LiftTM system is turned on or off. The iron
will return to normal operation once you resume ironing.

maintenance
The soleplate should be cleaned if starch or other residue build up. When the iron is cool, wipe the
soleplate with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as this will damage
the non-stick coating.
Mineral deposits from tap water can occur in the soleplate vents. To clean, fill the water tank and heat
the iron to the linen fabric setting. Once the iron is fully heated, unplug the iron and hold over a sink.
Press the steam button repeatedly until water begins to drip out of the soleplate. Be careful, as this
creates large amounts of steam.
To ensure optimal steam production, the steam valve should be regularly cleared of accumulated
debris and minerals. This is done by moving the steam selector back and forth from the off (
to the max ( ) steam settings several times.
