SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 into
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 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.
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
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 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.
• 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.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• 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.
• 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.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Iron won’t heat.
Water is leaking out of the iron.
Iron won’t steam.
Iron leaves spots on clothing.
Wrinkles not removed. Fabric/clothing scorched. Twisted cord.
All temperature selection buttons and ON/OFF button blinking.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Is iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Has a temperature been selected? Select SYNTHETICS, SILK-WOOL, or COTTON-LINEN button.
• Has Auto Shutoff feature activated (ON/OFF Button blinking)? Select a temperature setting to turn iron back on.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Variable Steam Lever in the maximum steam ( ) position, has a temperature been selected, and did the iron have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure Variable Steam Lever is in the DRY/OFF (O) position.
• Is iron at low setting? Cool iron will not produce steam.
• Check water level.
• Has iron had enough time to preheat?
• Is Variable Steam Lever in the maximum steam ( ) position?
• Allow iron to preheat. Cool iron will not produce steam.
• ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in tank may discolor clothing and soleplate.
• Choose correct temperature setting for your fabric.
• Select a lower temperature setting. Allow iron to cool for 5 minutes before continuing.
• If cord becomes twisted, turn iron OFF and unplug. Let cool. Empty any water from iron. Hold 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.
• If all temperature selection buttons are blinking, unplug iron and then plug it back in. This should reset the display. If not, call Customer Service (numbers on cover).
