IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

■Read all instructions.

■Use iron only for its intended use.

■To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid.

■The iron should always be turned to O/FILL before plugging into or unplugging from an outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

■Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around cordwrap when storing.

■Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying of water and when not in use. Be careful to avoid spilling water over iron when filling.

■Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or plug or if the iron has been dropped or damaged.

■To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; instead, take it to an authorized service center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

■Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board. Always position iron carefully to prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally moved or cord is pulled. Always use heel rest.

■Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down — there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.

■Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

■Do not use iron outdoors.

■This product is for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

■To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another highwattage appliance on the same circuit.

■If an extension cord is necessary, it should be rated not less than 10 amperes and have Underwriters Laboratories listing. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel (see pages 14 & 15 for a list of Black & Decker Company-Owned Service Centers).

How To Use

PERPARING THE IRON

IMPORTANT: Follow this procedure to clean the iron and to become familiar with its features before first use.

1. Remove any labels, stickers, protective materials, or tags which may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.

2.Fill the Water Tank to the water full mark (approximately 4 oz.). (See “Filling With Water,” below )

3.Plug the iron into a standard (polarized) electrical outlet.

4.Set the Temperature Selector/ Heat Fabric Guide to the Cotton setting and preheat for about 30 seconds. (See “Starting The Iron,” page 6)

5.While ironing on an old cotton terry cloth towel for about two minutes, try using each of the iron’s features:

Spray: Pump the SPRAY Button a few times to see the amount of water that is released.

Steam Settings: Turn the Adjustable Steam/Dry Dial to the Indicator Mark for (light), (medium), and (heavy) settings to become familiar with the different amounts of steam at each setting.

FILLING WITH WATER

NOTE: When filling, be sure the iron is unplugged, the Temperature Selector Dial is in the O/FILL position, and the Adjustable Steam/Dry Dial is in the Dry position.
