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

❑

Read all instructions before using.

❑ 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 off (refer to “How to Use” section) 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 iron when storing.

❑ Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying

of water and when not in use.

❑ Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped

or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron, take it to a qualified serviceman 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.

❑

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

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

❑ To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance

on the same circuit.

❑

If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere and 120-volt, or 7-ampere and 220-volt 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 or tripped over.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

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 in 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 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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use

This appliance is intended for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron. Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening system. Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before beginning to iron. Tip: If unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside seam or hem) before

ironing.

Filling Water Tank

1. Open the water-fill cover

(A).

2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opening until the water reaches the MAX level mark on the water tank (B). Do not overfill.

3. Close the water-fill cover.

4. Plug in the iron. The power indicator light illuminates and stays on during the ironing cycle (C).

Note: If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron and follow above steps.

SPECIAL FEATURES Automatic Shutoff in 3 Positions

• Your iron will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity if left on its soleplate or on its side. If left vertically on its heel rest, it will turn off after 8 minutes (D).

• The unit beeps five times and the auto shutoff indicator light blinks to let you know the iron has shut off.

• Once you pick up the iron, an internal motion-sensitive detector is activated and the iron starts heating again.

Note: Wait for iron to reheat completely before resuming operation.

Anti-Drip System

The anti-drip system prevents water spotting at low temperatures.

IRONING WITH STEAM Smart Steam™ Technology

The Smart Steam™ system automatically generates the right amount of steam for the fabric type selected. Once you select the temperature, the Smart Steam™ technology detects the set temperature and adjusts the steam power accordingly.

CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES

1. Make sure iron is unplugged and has cooled completely.
