This product is intended for household use only. 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 using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.

2. Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your

appliance.

3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron

in water or other liquids.

4. The iron should always be turned to OFF before plugging or

unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely

before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with

water or emptying and when not in use.

7. 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 service number for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

8. 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.

9. 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!

Please Read Before First Use

• Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. This will clean the vents.

• 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.

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

Troubleshooting

Won’t heat

PROBLEM

THINGS TO CHECK

Water is leaking

Won’t steam

Leaves spots

• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.

• Is the Temperature Settings button turned to a fabric setting?

• Iron may have gone to auto off (blinking red light). Push “settings” to restart and adjust to desired temperature.

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam in a steam position, the Temperature Settings button in the steam range and did the iron have enough time to preheat?

• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam is in the DRY IRON position.

• Check the water level.

• Is the Adjustable Steam 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.

• If the iron cord should become twisted, unplug iron and let cool. 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.

Twisted cord

Care and Cleaning (continued)

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

To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these instructions each time you iron using steam.

1. Turn Temperature Settings to OFF ( O ) and set

Adjustable Steam Knob to DRY. Fill iron with water to 1⁄2 of its maximum capacity.

2. Turn Temperature Settings to Linen setting and let iron heat

for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam on DRY.

3. Turn Temperature Settings to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron and

hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.

4. Turn Adjustable Steam to MAX, while pressing Self Clean

button often. Boiling water and steam will flow out of steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron.

5. Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean

entire soleplate area.

6. If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as

indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow out of steam vents.

AUTRES RENSEIGNEMENTS DE

SÉCURITÉ AUX CONSOMMATEURS

Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour l’usage domestique. AVERTISSEMENT! Danger d'électrocution : Cet appareil électomé-

nager possède une fiche polarisée (une broche large) qui réduit le danger d'électrocution. Cette fiche n'entre que dans un seul sens dans une prise polarisée. Ne contrecarrez pas l'objectif sécuritaire de cette fiche en la modifiant de quelque manière que ce soit ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si la fiche n'entre pas bien, retournez-la. Si elle continue à ne pas bien entrer, demandez à un électricien de remplacer la prise.

Utiliser le fer sur une planche à repasser. Repasser sur toute autre surface peut endommager la surface. Ne pas repasser ou défripper à la vapeur verticale les vêtements

pendant qu'ils sont portés. Ne pas orienter la vapeur verticale sur des personnes ou des animaux.

INSTRUCTIONS SPÉCIALES

1. Pour éviter une surcharge du circuit, ne pas faire fonctionner un

autre appareil à haute tension sur le même circuit.

2. Si une rallonge est absolument nécessaire, un cordon de rallonge

de 10 ampères devrait être employé. Les cordons évalués à un ampérage moindre peuvent surchauffer. Il faut prendre soin de disposer le cordon pour qu’il ne puisse pas être tiré ou faire trébucher.

PRÉCAUTIONS IMPORTANTES

Lors de l’utilisation de votre fer à repasser, des précautions préliminaires de sécurité doivent toujours être observées, y compris ce qui suit :

LIRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT L’UTILISATION

1. Utiliser le fer seulement pour sa fonction déterminée.

2. Vérifier que le voltage de la maison corresponde à celui de

l'appareil.

3. Pour protéger contre le risque de choc électrique, ne pas immerger

le fer dans l’eau ou autres liquides.

4. Le fer doit toujours être éteint (réglé à ARRÊT) avant d’être branché

sur une prise de courant ou débranché. Ne jamais tirer le cordon pour le débrancher de la prise de courant; saisir plutôt la fiche et la tirer pour la débrancher.

5. Ne pas laisser le cordon toucher les surfaces chaudes. Laisser le

fer se refroidir complètement avant de le remiser, et enrouler sans le serrer le cordon autour du fer.

6. Toujours débrancher le fer d’une prise de courant électrique

lorsqu’on le remplit d’eau ou lorsqu’on le vide, ou s’il n’est pas utilisé.

7. Ne pas faire fonctionner le fer avec un cordon endommagé ou si

le fer a été échappé ou endommagé. Pour éviter le risque de choc électrique, ne pas démonter le fer. Téléphoner au numéro du service à la clientèle sans frais d’interurbain pour des renseignements concernant l’examen et la réparation. Un réassemblage incorrect peut causer un risque de choc électrique lorsque le fer est utilisé.

8. Une bonne surveillance est nécessaire pour tout appareil utilisé

par des enfants ou près d’eux. Ne pas laisser le fer sans surveillance pendant qu’il est branché ou pendant qu’il est sur une planche à repasser.

9. Des brûlures peuvent survenir lorsqu’on touche des pièces

chaudes en métal, de l’eau chaude ou de la vapeur. Adopter des précautions lorsqu’on tourne un fer à vapeur à l’envers, car il peut rester de l’eau dans le réservoir.
