IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

• Use iron only for intended use.

• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

• The iron steam control should be turned to the
lowest setting (no steam ) before plugging
in or unplugging from the outlet. Never pull on
the cord to disconnect from the 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 iron when storing.

• Always disconnect iron from electric outlet
before filling with water, cleaning, or emptying
and when not in use.

• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord
or in the event the iron has been dropped,
damaged, or is leaking. To avoid risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble the iron. Call the
appropriate toll-free number in this manual.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric
shock when the iron is used.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified person in order to avoid
a hazard. Please call the appropriate toll-free
number listed in the warranty section of these
instructions.

• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance
being used by or near children. Do not leave
iron unattended when plugged in or on an
ironing board.

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

• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

• The iron must be used and rested on a stable
surface.

• When standing the iron on its heel, ensure that
the surface on which the iron is placed is stable.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same
circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a
10 amps or higher cord should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage can result in a risk of
fire or electrical shock due to overheating. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it
cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

SAFETY FEATURES

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal
of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire
or electrical 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.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please
contact the warranty department listed in
these instructions.

HOW TO USE

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove the plastic band around the power plug and all labels, tags
and stickers attached to the body, cord, or soleplate of the iron.

• Remove and save literature.

• Please note that water droplets may still be visible in the tank at the time
of purchase. This is from the individual quality tests done to ensure that
every iron meets our high standards for product performance.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Tip: This iron is designed to use normal tap water. Do not use water processed
through a home softening system. If your water is very hard, you can use a
mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to avoid build-up. It is not
recommended to use water with perfumes or scented additives.

1. Unplug the iron.

2. Hold the iron with the front raised.

3. Open the water inlet cover.

4. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause
an air lock and the water will overflow.

5. Don’t fill past the max marking or water will escape in use.

6. Wipe up any spills.

4. To refill at any time during the ironing process, unplug the iron and
follow the above procedure.
