SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using your flat iron, 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 ( O ) 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. Do not use an extension cord.

3. Only plug cord into ironing board model #111170 (manufacturerd

by Whitney Design Inc.).

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 cleared before first use. See the
“Self-Clean” section on page 6 for more information.
