This iron is not intended for regular use. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug

(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric 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 by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

Please Read Before First Use

• This appliance was initially set to operate at 120 volts. See “To Change Voltage” section for conversion to 240 volts.

• During first use of travel iron/steamer, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.

• Many irons/steamers 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.

• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare travel iron/steamer for steam ironing; then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while pressing the steam button.

NOTE: Power light remains ON when travel iron is plugged in, even in OFF (O) setting.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an

ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.

When using a travel iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Only use an iron for its intended use.

2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in

water or other liquids.

3. Always turn the iron to OFF

(O) before plugging or unplugging

the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.

4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool

completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.

5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling

the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.

6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the

iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.

7. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

8. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on

which the stand is placed is stable.

9. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near

children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is 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— there might be hot water in the reservoir.

11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same

circuit with another high-wattage appliance.

Won’t heat

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSE

Water is leaking

Won’t steam

Leaves spots

• Is travel iron/steamer plugged in and outlet working? Check outlet by plugging in a lamp.

• Is Temperature Control Dial turned to a fabric setting?

• Make sure Dual-Voltage Switch is set to correct voltage.

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• Do not press Steam Button while dry ironing.

• If steam ironing, is Temperature Control Dial in steam range and did travel iron/steamer have enough time to preheat?

• Increase time between pushing Steam Button.

• If dry ironing, make sure Temperature Control Dial is in DRY IRON position.

• Make sure Water Tank Plug is fully seated.

• Place Steam Switch in the (Dry Iron) position.

• Check water level.

• Is Steam Switch set to (Steam)?

• Is Temperature Control Dial in steam range?

• Has travel iron/steamer had enough time to preheat?

• ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in water tank may discolor clothing and soleplate.

• Do not press Steam Button while the travel iron/steamer is cool.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSE

• If the travel iron/steamer cord should become twisted, unplug travel iron/steamer and let cool. Hold travel iron/steamer cord in the middle of entire length. Let plug and travel iron/steamer dangle freely until cord uncoils. This will extend the life of your travel iron/steamer cord.

• Empty water when not in use and place Steam Switch in the (Dry Iron) position.
