IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
The iron should always be turned off before plugging into or unplugging from an
outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around cord wrap when storing.
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying of
water, and when not in use.
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or dropped into water. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron or replace supply cord. For service information see warranty page.
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. Always
position iron carefully to prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally moved or cord is pulled. Always use heel rest.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use the surge of steam – there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents,
check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operati ng steam button.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the appliance (wattage is stamped by the soleplate of the unit). Position the extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG – This appliance may have a polarized plug –one blade is wider
than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for damage. If damage is found, do not use appliance.
5. Let iron cool completely before wrapping cord. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
SPECIAL ATTENTION: This appliance is designed with a protective coating around
the heating elements. When plugged in and operating for the first time, there may be momentary smoking while this coating is initially heated. This represents no danger to the user and does not indicate a defect in the unit. When using for the first time, allow the appliance to continue heating until the smoke dissipates. This should last only about 30 seconds.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the first time: Remove any sticker or protective foil from the
soleplate. Preheat; move iron over an old cloth several times to remove any residue from the soleplate.

To Use Iron: Always check the ironing instructions on the garment label first. Sort
the fabrics according to the ironing temperature. The iron will take less time to heat up than to cool down therefore clothes such as synthetic fabric, silk, etc. with lower ironing temperatures should be ironed first. Clothes with higher ironing temperatures such as wool, cotton and linens should be ironed last. If you are unsure of the fabric, test by ironing a hidden area such as an inside seam or edge. If the iron drags or the fabric changes color, lower the temperature and/or use a pressing clot h. For blended fabrics, always use the lower setting. For example, a garment with 60% nylon and 40% wool should be set at the temperature indicated for nylon. Always test by ironing a hidden area.
1. Stand iron vertically on its heel and set the Thermostat Dial to the “MIN” position.
2. Plug appliance into electrical outlet, 120 volt, AC only. Rotate the Thermostat Dial to the desired fabric selection. The Power Indicator Light will come on indicating iron is heating. When the Power Indicat or Light goes out the iron has reached set temperature and you may begin ironing.
To Fill Water Tank: Make sure iron is unplugged and the fabric/temperature dial is
in the “MIN” position. Place iron on the heel rest, tilt forward approximately 45° and pour water into the water-filling opening. In areas that have very hard water, use of distilled water is recommended. Never use descaling chemicals in your iron. Be careful not to overfill. If steam should fail to start and iron is in ironing position, gently bump the soleplate on the ironing boar d once or twice. This helps to start the steam action.
Note: Water may drip from the steam vents when iron is used with the steam button
in the up position, if fabric/temperature dial is set below steam area or if the iron is not preheated for 1 to 2 minutes. If dripping still occurs after preheating with fabric/temperature dial set in steam area, move the fabric/temperature dial to a slightly higher setting (cotton or linen).

Steam Ironing: Fill iron with water per the To Fill Water Tank
directions. Plug the appliance into the electrical out let. Set the
Steam Spray
Fabric/Temperature Dial to MAX (if the iron is not set to MAX water may leak from the soleplate). The Power Indicator Light will glow showing the iron is heating. When the Power Indicat or Light no longer glows you may begin ironing. Dependent on the model you have you can increase or decrease steam output by turning the steam control knob or by moving the steam control to button to 1-5.
Note: The steam setting should not be used on Synthetic Fabric, Nylon, Synthetic
Silk or Silk as damage to the fabric could occur.
Automatic Shut-off: This iron is equipped with a safety device that automati cally
switches off the heating element if the iron is left motionless for 30 seconds in a horizontal position or 15 minutes in a vertical position. Pick up the iro n or move it slightly to reactivate heating.
Steam Button: This function works well for tough wrinkles and heavy fabrics. Fill
the water tank to the MAX position. Set the Fabric/Temperature Dial to MAX until the Power Indicator Light goes off. Release the steam by pressing the Steam Button. Let the steam penetrate the fabric and then generate more steam by pressing the Steam Button again. For optimal results, t here should be 3-5 seconds rest between presses of the steam button. To prevent water f rom leaking from the soleplate, do not press the steam button continuously for more than 5 seconds.
Spraying Methods: Fill the water tank with water. Press water spray button.

CLEANING YOUR IRON

This appliance contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself.
To Clean: Once a month clean the iron to remove any scales or impurities. Fill
water tank ½ full of water. Note: Never use a descaling chemical in your iron. Place the iron on the heel rest. Plug into an electrical outlet and turn the Fabric/Temperature Dial to the highest heat setti ng and the Steam Control Knob to the maximum steam position. Allow iron to heat until t he Power Indicator Light goes off. Turn off and remove the plug from the outlet. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink. Set the Steam Control Knob to maximum and boiling water and steam will begin to flow from the steam holes in the soleplate. Move the iron forward and backward to help expel impurities. When steaming stops, repe at procedure until the water tank is empty.
To Clean Soleplate: The iron should be fully cooled before soleplate cleaning
begins. Apply a small amount of mild cleaner to a damp cloth. Gently rub soleplate, then wipe with a moist cloth.
To Store: Unplug appliance and allow to cool. Pour out any water lef t in the iron.
Store in upright position on heel rest. Never store iron lying on soleplate. wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, keep cord loosely coiled or wound around cord winder. Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.
