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 its intended use.
❍ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.
❍ The iron should always be turned to the minimum (min) setting before
plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank 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 electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying, 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 service person 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 reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron to
minimize hot water spillage.
❍
The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
❍
When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which
the stand is placed is stable.
❍
The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible
signs of damage or if it is leaking.
❍
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.
ENGLISH
❍
The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on
which the stand is placed is stable.
- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there is visible
signs of damage or if it is leaking.
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 cord rate at 15-ampere
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
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
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; in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This appliance is intended for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove all labels, tags and stickers attached to the body, cord or soleplate of the iron.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• If ironing dry, place iron on its heel rest on a stable ironing board. (To iron with steam,
see instructions for FILLING THE WATER TANK.)
• Use scissors to remove the plastic tie lock on the plug of the iron. Uncoil cord and plug
into standard electrical outlet.
PREHEATING THE IRON
Note: When the iron is plugged in, the red power indicator light will come on and stay on
until the iron is unplugged or the automatic shutoff is activated. (See below for instructions
on the automatic shutoff.)
Note: This iron heats quickly. For optimum performance, allow the iron to stand on heel rest
about 2 minutes before beginning to iron.
FILLING WATER TANK
1. With iron on a flat surface with soleplate down or tilted at a 45-degree angle, open the
water-fill cover.
2. Using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opening until water
reaches the MAX level mark on the side of the water tank (B). The
water tank holds about 1½ cups of water. Do not overfill.
Note: This iron can be filled with ordinary tap water; if your water is
hard or soft, you may want to use distilled water. Do not use water
processed through a home softening system.
3. Close the water-fill cover securely.
4. Stand the iron up on the heel rest.
Tip: To refill iron at any time during ironing session, unplug iron and follow above procedure.
3-WAY AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
1. The iron will automatically turn to stand by mode 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 (C).
2. The red power indicator light starts blinking to let you know the
iron has stopped heating.
Important: The iron will have turned off but will still be hot.
3. Once the iron is picked up, an internal motion sensor is activated and the iron starts
heating again.
4. Allow iron to reheat completely before resuming ironing.
SELECTING FABRIC SETTING
1. Read fabric labels to help determine fabric type to be ironed.
Tip: If unsure of fabric’s fiber, test a small area (on the inside seam or hem) before ironing.
Tip: When ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, select the fabric setting for the most
delicate fabric. For example, when ironing a shirt that is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, use
setting for polyester.
2. Once you determine the fabric type, turn the fabric select dial at
the front of the handle clockwise to select the appropriate fabric
setting (D).
