Anti-Drip
This iron is designed to reduce dripping and spitting while in use. Steam is
automatically disabled when the soleplate temperature is too low to create
steam, preventing spitting or dripping.
The Anti-Drip system may make a loud clicking sound during use. This is normal
and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.
Anti-Scale System
The built-in Anti-Scale cartridge is designed to reduce the buildup of mineral
substances in the water which occurs during steam ironing, thereby extending
the life of your SINGER Classic Finish Iron. However, please note that the
anti-scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural process of lime scale
buildup.

Self-Cleaning
This feature removes loose minerals and other impurities that have been built
up in the steam chamber. It is recommended that this function be performed at
least once a month or more regularly depending on the hardness of the water
used.
WARNING: THE SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION WILL CAUSE HOT STEAM AND
WATER TO BE EJECTED FROM THE SOLEPLATE. TAKE ALL PROPER
PRECAUTIONS AND HOLD IRON AWAY FROM BODY. STEAM AND WATER
ARE VERY HOT AND CAN CAUSE BURNS.
Fill the water tank as described in “Filling the Water Tank” section. •
Plug the iron into a grounded electrical outlet. The iron will begin to heat. •
Select the • MAX temperature setting by turning the Temperature Control Dial
clockwise.
When the selected temperature is reached, the Temperature Indicator light •
will turn off. The iron is ready to use.
Unplug the iron.•
Hold the iron horizontally over a sink with the soleplate pointing away from •
the body and press and hold the Self-Clean Button. Steam and hot water will
drain from from the soleplate holes, washing away the scales and minerals
that have built up inside the steam chamber.
Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.•
When self-cleaning is complete, release the Self-Clean Button.•
Place iron on its heel and let it cool completely.•
Carefully wipe all water from the soleplate with an old towel, as the water and •

or burnt synthetic fibers. This can be easily removed by using a quality iron
soleplate cleaner.
When the iron is cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth
and wiped dry.
NOTE: Never use abrasive household cleaners or other chemical agents to
clean the iron.
Never use sharp or rough objects to remove deposits on the soleplate.
