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.

Consumer Safety Information

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD ONLY
BE SERVICED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.

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.
