When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
This product is intended for household use only.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may damage that surface. Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are being worn. Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to OFF ( O ) before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never
yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Fully
retract cord within unit or loop cord loosely around iron, as applicable, when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not
in use.
6. 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. Call our toll-free customer assis­tance number for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. 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.
8. 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 reservoir.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

• Many irons spit or sputter during the
first few uses with tap water. This happens
as the
steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.

Iron
1. The water tank of your iron should be emptied after each use. Turn Temperature
Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug the iron and hold over a sink. Slowly tilt pointed end of iron down over sink. Water will run out of water tank opening.

around iron, as applicable, and store in an upright position. Do not store iron laying flat on soleplate.
Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as these may scratch the
soleplate.
2. To clean occasional build-up on the soleplate, wipe with a sudsy cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.
Self-Clean (on selected models)
To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these instructions each time you iron using steam.
1. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ) and set Adjustable Steam Switch to Dry Iron O. Fill iron with water to 1⁄2 of its maximum capacity.
2. Turn Temperature Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam Switch on Dry Iron O.
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.

• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
