SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron to OFF (O) 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.
4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool
completely before putting the iron away. Loop cord loosely
around iron when storing.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
8. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface
on which the stand is placed is stable.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same
circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
12. 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.
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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
PLEASE READ BEFORE FIRST USE:
• 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
lettting iron steam.

on the soleplate. Never use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads, since they may scratch the surface.
• Always store iron upright on the heel rest (see Step 5).
Set the Adjustable Steam Switch
to (Dry Iron).
Do not store iron laying flat on
soleplate.

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
• Is iron plugged in and the outlet working? Check outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to a fabric setting?
• If auto shutoff model, is the Auto Shutoff Reset Light illuminated (Power ON Light is blinking)?
Move 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? Is 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.
• 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.
• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to correct fabric.
• Check Temperature Control Dial and adjust to desired setting. Let iron cool down 5 minutes
before continuing.
