When using your flat iron, 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. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in

water or other liquids.

3. 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.

4. 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance 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.

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.

• 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 Blast button several times to clean the
vents. Then follow the Self-Cleaning instructions on page 10.

2

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.

Caring and Cleaning

Iron Storage

1. The water tank of your iron should be emptied after each

use. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF. 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.

Soleplate

1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since

these may scratch the soleplate.

2. To clean occasional buildup 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.

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSE

leaking

Iron
won’t
steam

Leaves
spots

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• If steam ironing, is Steam ON/OFF Control in a
steam position, the Temperature Control Dial in
the steam range, and did the iron have enough
time to preheat?

• If dry ironing, make sure the Steam ON/OFF
Control is in the DRY IRON position (O).

• If using the Blast Button, push button less
frequently.

• Follow the self-cleaning instructions one or
two times with tap water (not distilled) to
“condition” the iron.

• Check the water level.

• Is Steam ON/OFF Control in 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 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.

• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to
correct fabric.

Caring and Cleaning (cont.)

Self-Clean

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

1. Set Temperature Control Dial to OFF. Fill iron with water to

1/2 of its maximum capacity.

2. Set Steam ON/OFF Control to O (Dry Iron). Set Temperature

Control Dial to Linen setting and let iron heat for 2 minutes.

3. Set Temperature Control Dial to OFF. Unplug iron and hold

over a sink with soleplate facing down.

4. Press and hold the Self-Clean Button. 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.

Troubleshooting

Iron won’t
heat

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSE

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

• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to a
fabric setting?

• If automatic shutoff model, is the Reset Light
flashing? Move the iron to reset.
