I have an Oreck cordless Iron too and have had it put away cause I am not sure I am using it right and I have no instructions. My aunt gave it to me when they got it free for purchasing a vacuum cleaner and she doesn't know what happened to the instructions either. She said she would plug it in and let it get hot and then she could take it to where she was sewing and not trip over the cord, however she never used steam Quilt Till U Wilt do you use the steam and does it spray out does the iron get it hot enough?
