IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
4. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
5. Always turn the iron to OFF 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.
6. 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 for storing.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
10. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface
on which the stand is placed is stable.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
14. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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 fully into the outlet, 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.
• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam
ironing and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while
letting the iron steam. Press the Steam Burst button several
times to clean the vents. Then follow the self-cleaning
instructions on page 10.

Soleplate Care
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the iron soleplate:
• Never iron over zippers, buttons, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since they may scratch the soleplate surface.
• Allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soapy, soft damp cloth to clean occasional buildup on the soleplate. Never use abrasive
cleaners or metal scouring pads, since they may scratch the surface.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Iron won’t heat.
Water is leaking.
Iron won’t steam.
Iron leaves spots
on clothing.
Twisted cord.
Wrinkles not removed.
Iron too hot/not hot
enough.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Is iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Has a temperature been selected?
• Is the Auto Off light illuminated? Move or tilt the iron to reset.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• Adjust steam to a lower setting.
• If steam ironing, is the Adjustable Steam Switch in a steam position? Has a temperature been
selected? Did the iron have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Switch is in the (Dry Iron) position.
• Check water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the (Steam) position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• Anti-drip feature will not allow steam when temperature setting is in the dry range.
• ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in 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
the iron cord.
• Choose correct temperature setting for your fabric.
• Adjust temperature to desired setting. Let iron cool down 5 minutes before continuing.
