Other Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTR
UCTIONS 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.
Loop cord loosely around iron 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.

Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to
a fabric setting?
• If auto shutoff model, is the Reset Light
illuminated? If not, push to reset.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Switch in a
steam position and the Temperature Control Dial in the
steam range? Did the iron have enough time
to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Switch
is in the DRY IRON position.
• If using Blast, press button less frequently (not more
than once every two seconds).
• Follow the Self-Cleaning instructions one or two times
with tap water (not distilled) to “condition” the iron.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM
position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron after
using. Water left in the tank may discolor clothing
and soleplate.
• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to
correct fabric.
• Check Temperature Control Dial and set to lower setting.
Allow iron to cool down 5 minutes before continuing.
• If the iron cord should become twisted, turn iron OFF
(O), turn Control Dial to OFF (O) and unplug iron. Let
cool. Empty water from iron.Hold iron cord in the middle
of entire length. Let plug and iron dangle freely until cord
uncoils. This will extend the life of your iron cord.
