When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ Use iron only for its intended use.

■ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water

or other liquid.

■ The iron should always be turned Off before unplugging from an outlet. Push the I/0 button and the light will go out. 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 cordwrap when storing.

■ Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying of water and when not in use. Be careful to avoid spilling water over iron when filling.

■ Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or plug or if the iron has been dropped or damaged.

■ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; instead, take it to an authorized service center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

■ 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 vertical surge of steam – there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.

■ When using surge of steam, always direct the steam vents away from your body.

■ Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

■ Do not use iron outdoors.

■ This product is for household use only not for commercial or industrial use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

■ To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

■ If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug and UL, CSA, or NOM approval should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over.

Cover

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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 defeat this safety feature.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

NOTE: Before first use, remove any labels, stickers, or tags which may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.

1. Move the Lever to Smart Steam. Flip open the Water Fill Hole cover. Tilt the iron slightly forward and use a measuring cup to pour water into the hole until the level reaches the FULL mark on the Water Window (A). Do not overfill. NOTE: Be sure to aim the spout of the cup into the slot of the Water Fill Hole. Close the cover. Refill as needed.

2. Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening system.

3. In extremely hard water areas, use tap water the first time you use the iron. Then

consider using distilled or demineralized water. Once a month however, use tap water to maintain steam performance.

4. Plug in the iron. Push the ON/OFF (I/0) button and a light will come on (B). Turn the Temperature Selector Dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric. Use the Fabric Guide on the iron (See A) to select the setting (check the garment label for fabric type and manufacturer's recommended setting). NOTE: The Magnifying Lens enlarges the numbers for easy temperature setting at a glance. (C)

5. Allow to preheat for approximately 2-3 minutes.

6. To use iron, grasp it by the Comfort-Grip™ handle. This handle was specially designed to cushion your hand as you iron for more comfortable use than typical hard plastic handles.

7. Push the ON/OFF button to manually turn off the iron and the light will go out. If unattended, the iron will automatically shut off in 10 minutes. Unplug the iron when finished ironing.

STEAM IRONING

Be sure there is water in the reservoir. Move the Lever to the SMART STEAM position. The Smart Steam™ System automatically adjusts and delivers the right amount of continuous steam at any temperature setting.

VERTICAL & HORIZONTAL SURGE OF STEAM

Be sure there is water in the reservoir, the Lever is in the SMART STEAM position, and the Dial is set to at least setting 4. To remove tough wrinkles, pump the SURGE button a few times at 5-second intervals for a powerful blast of concentrated steam. For best results when using vertical surge of steam, hang the garment on a clothes hanger. Curtains and drapes may also be steamed once they’re hung. Hold the iron away from your body close to but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tight with your free hand and pump the SURGE button at 5-second intervals as you pass the iron over the wrinkled fabric. (D)

CAUTION: Do not pump steam onto your free hand. The steam may burn your skin.
