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

Please Read Before First Use
• During first use of iron, it may appear
to smoke. This will stop and does not
indicate a defect or hazard.
• 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. Press the Blast
button several times. This will
clean the vents. Then follow the
Self-Clean instructions (see page 6)
beginning with Step 3.
• 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.

• If auto shutoff model, is the Reset Button/Light
illuminated? If not, push to reset.
• Do not overfill the water tank.

in the DRY IRON position.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Knob in the STEAM position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?

continuing.
Caring for Your Iron
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 hot, sudsy
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers
or metal scouring pads. Do not
immerse in water.
3. Always store iron upright in the heel
rest position.

Unplug the iron and hold over a sink.
Slowly tilt pointed end of iron
down over sink. Water will run out
of water tank opening.
2. After iron has completely cooled,
wrap cord loosely around iron and
store in an upright position. Do not
store iron laying flat on soleplate.
