IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.

2. Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your

appliance.

3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in

water or other liquids.

4. 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.

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely

before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with

water or emptying and when not in use.

7. 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 and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

8. 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.

9. 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 15-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.

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 using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, 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.

• Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. This will clean the vents.

• 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.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Iron won’t heat.

Water is leaking out of the iron.

Iron won’t steam.

Iron leaves spots on clothing.

Wrinkles not removed.

Fabric/clothing scorched. Twisted cord.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

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

• Is the Temperature Selector set to a fabric setting?

• If auto shutoff model, are there two blinking lines in display? If so, move iron to turn back on.

• The iron will shut off if ON/OFF is pressed for 3 seconds.

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• If steam ironing, is Steam Lever in a steam position, Temperature Selector setting in the steam range, and did the iron have enough time to preheat?

• If dry ironing, make sure the Steam Lever is in the DRY IRON position.

• Check the water level.

• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?

• Is Steam Lever in the STEAM position? NOTE: Anti-drip feature will not allow steam when iron is at a temperature that would result in water leaking from the soleplate.

• ALWAYS empty water tank after using. Water left in tank may discolor clothing and soleplate.

• Check Temperature Selector is set to correct fabric.

• Check Temperature Selector and set to lower setting. Allow iron to cool for 5 minutes before continuing.

• If cord becomes twisted, turn iron OFF, turn Selector to OFF and unplug iron. Let cool. Empty water from iron. Hold 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.
