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 cord wrap 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 press the self clean button while ironing.
■ 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.
■ The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
■ Do not use iron outdoors.
■ This product is for household use only.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
■ To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
■ If an extension cord is necessary, a 10-ampere rated cord should be used.
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.

This ProXpress™ Automatic Shut-Off Iron has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.

PREPARING
THE IRON
Important: Follow this procedure to clean the iron and to
become familiar with its features.
Remove any labels or tags which may be attached.
Using the Water Fill Cup we have provided, fill the Water
Tank about 1/3 full with water. (See ”Filling With Water,“
page 5.)
Set the Temperature Selector Dial to the Indicator Mark
choosing Cotton or Linen settings (6 or 7) and preheat for
about 2 minutes. (See ”Starting The Iron,“ page 5.)
While ironing on an old cotton terry cloth towel for about
two minutes, try using each of the iron’s features.
Turn the Adjustable Steam/Dry Dial to the Indicator Mark
for (light), (medium), and (heavy) settings
to become familiar with the various settings. Use the selfcleaning feature as described on page 9. Iron on the
towel for another minute or two.
Pump the Sray Button a few times to see the amount of
water that is released. (See Figure F, page 7.)
