IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
4. The iron should always be set to Standby/Off icon on the fabric setting button before unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Before using for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the SOLEPLATE. Clean the SOLEPLATE with a soft cloth.
6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Allow iron to cool completely before putting away. Wrap cord loosely around iron when storing.
7. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying iron and when not in use.
8. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electrical shock when the iron is used. Contact Customer Service Department (see back cover), to return for examination and repair.
9. 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.
10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down as there may be hot water in the reservoir.
11. When you have finished ironing or when leaving the iron even for short periods:
– Set the ADJUSTABLE STEAM CONTROL to the “No Steam” position, and press the
fabric setting button to Standby/Off icon.
– Stand the iron upright on its HEEL REST and unplug iron from electrical outlet.
NOTE: the soleplate may become damaged if the iron is stored with the soleplate facing downward.
12. This product is intended for household use only.

Special Instructions
This is a 1400 watt appliance. 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 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. Your iron is designed to rest on the HEEL REST. Do not leave the iron unattended while it is ON. Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its HEEL REST.
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. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

BEFORE FIRST USE
During first use of the iron, the iron may appear to “smoke”. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard. Steam Vents should be cleared before first use to remove any remaining residue from the manufacturing process and to ensure that no stain is transferred to the fabric the first time the iron is used. To clear steam vents:
1. Turn the Adjustable Steam Control to the “No Steam” position.
2. Fill with water to the “Max” fill line.
NOTE: Overfilling the iron may cause the iron to spill water during use. Do not overfill Tank and never fill with anything but water.
3. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Pressing the Fabric Setting Button select the highest setting “Linen”.
4. Let the iron preheat for 2 minutes while sitting on the Heel Rest.
5. Turn the Adjustable Steam Control to the Heavy Steam setting.
6. Pass the iron over an old cloth, letting the iron steam for a few minutes.
NOTE: Any iron may spit or sputter during the first uses with tap water. As the steam chamber becomes conditioned, this occurrence will stop.

1. Turn the variable steam dial to "No Steam" setting.
2. Fill the water tank to the MAX fill line.
3. Plug the iron in and set the temperature control to its highest setting (Linen). Allow iron to heat for 2 minutes.
4. Turn the variable steam Dial to " " for the Self Clean setting.
5. Place a towel over the ironing surface.
6. Hold the iron horizontally 2 inches above the towel allowing the steam to flow through the vents until the water tank is emptied; you may also press the Burst button several times remembering to pause about 5 seconds between bursts to allow the iron to reheat.
7. Unplug when finished. Allow iron to cool before cleaning the exterior of the iron or storing. Use a damp cloth and wipe off exterior of iron before storing, handling or cleaning.

CARING FOR YOUR IRON
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE IRON IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS. Emptying and Storing your Iron
1. Deselect the fabric settings and turn the Steam Control Dial to the “No Steam” position.
2. Unplug the iron and allow to cool.
3. To empty water from the iron, make sure the Water Door is opened and slowly tilt the pointed end over the sink and turn upside down. The water will run out of the Water Fill Opening.
4. Wrap cord loosely around cool iron and store in an upright position. Wrapping the cord too tightly can damage the cord.
5. Do not store the iron laying flat. Any small amount of moisture or residue may cause the Soleplate to discolor.
Caring and Cleaning the Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, snaps, buttons, or metal rivets as these may scratch the Soleplate.
2. To clean the Soleplate of occasional build-up, wipe cool iron with a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
Helpful Hints
1. Sort items to be ironed according to their required temperature settings. Begin ironing at the lower settings and increase temperature as needed. If you are in doubt about what temperature to use, start at a low temperature setting and iron an inside seam. Gradually increase the heat and steam settings until wrinkles are removed with out damaging the fabric.
2. When changing from a high temperature setting to a lower temperature setting allow approximately 3-10 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
NOTE: When Dry Ironing; it will take longer for the iron to cool down to a lower setting. For example, if the iron is first set at Linen and then changed to Silk, it may take 10-15 minutes for the iron to drop to the selected temperature. When Steam Ironing, the temperature will descend faster because the water helps to cool down the iron. The following chart is designed to help you select the best setting and method for the fabric you intend to iron. Check garment labels and follow recommendations provided by the fabric manufacturer.
