Consumer Safety Information
This product is a household-type iron.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may
damage that surface.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
3. 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.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water
or emptying and when not in use.
6. 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, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.
7. 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.
8. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Before First Use
• Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. See the
“Self-Clean” section on page 6 for more information.
• 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.
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This
will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
To Dry Iron
1. Plug iron into outlet.
2. Set Adjustable Steam Switch to 0 (the Dry Iron position).
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to desired temperature.
Allow two minutes for iron to reach desired temperature.
4. To turn iron Off, turn Temperature Control Dial to Off and
unplug iron.

Caring for Your Iron
Iron
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
the 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, as
these may scratch the soleplate.
2. To clean occasional build-up on the soleplate, wipe with
a 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.
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any build-up, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1. Fill iron with water.
2. Plug in iron. Turn Temperature Control Dial to the highest
temperature.
3. Let iron heat for 3 minutes.
4. Turn Temperature Control Dial to OFF. Unplug iron and
hold over a sink with the soleplate facing down.
5. Turn Adjustable Steam Switch to Steam . Hot water and
steam will flow out of the steam vents. Press the Blast
Button several times to increase cleaning.
6. Allow all water to drain from iron then let cool and store.
