IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety instructions should always be followed, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE STEAM IRON.

• Use Iron only for its intended use.

• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the Iron in water or other liquids.

• The Fabric Select Dial and Steam Lever should always be turned to Off/Apag. and O/Off before plugging or unplugging from 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 Iron when storing.

• Always disconnect Iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.

• 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. Take it to an Oster® Authorized Service Center for examination and/or 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 plugged in or turned on or on an ironing board.

• 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.

• If the Iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the Iron serviced by an Oster® Authorized Service Center.

• Your OSTER® Iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the Iron unattended. Do not set the Iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.

• This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• 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 extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

(For 120 & 127 Volts)

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. 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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Filling With Water

You must fill the Water Reservoir with water to use the SHOT OF STEAM® and SPRAY MIST® features and to get steam out of your Iron.

TIP: Each Iron is tested at the factory to ensure that they function correctly. The test may leave a small, harmless amount of water within the Water Reservoir.

Before you fill the Water Reservoir, please consider the following:

• While this Iron was designed for use with tap water, very hard water will reduce the performance of the Iron. If your water is very hard, it is recommended that you use tap water the first time, then consider using demineralized or distilled water for subsequent use. You should use tap water once a month, however, to maintain the Iron's optimal steam performance.

• Do not use water that has passed through a home water softening system. This type of water contains minerals that will decrease the performance and shorten the life of your Iron. Use demineralized or distilled water, instead.

IMPORTANT: When not ironing, always set the Steam Lever to O/OFF and the Fabric Select Dial to Off/Apag.

To fill the Water Reservoir:

1. Lift the Water Fill Hole Cover.

2. Make sure the Iron is unplugged. Set the Steam Lever to O/OFF and the Fabric Select Dial to Off/Apag.

3. Fill Water Cup with water. Pour water into Iron's Water Reservoir. Do not fill Water Reservoir beyond maximum fill level.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, be careful when filling a hot iron with water. Hot metal parts, hot water and steam can cause injuries.

4. After the Iron has heated (2 minutes), turn the Steam Lever to desired steam setting.

IMPORTANT: When not ironing, always set the Steam Lever to O/Off and the Fabric Select Dial to Off/Apag.

Dry Ironing

1. Make sure the Steam Lever is turned to the O/Off (Dry) setting.

2. Plug the Cord into the outlet.

3. Turn the Fabric Select Dial to the fabric setting you desire (Silk or Synthetics).

Allow the Iron to heat for 2 minutes. While the Iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on its heel rest on a stable, protected surface.

NOTE: While the Steam Lever is turned to the O/Off (Dry) setting, you may still use the SHOT OF STEAM® or SPRAY MIST® features. Please make sure the Water Reservoir is 1/4 full of water.

TIP: Refer to the "Ironing Guide" for the recommended setting for your fabric.

Steam Ironing

1. Follow the instructions for "Filling With Water".

2. Plug the Cord into the outlet. The Power Indicator will light.

3. Turn the Fabric Select Dial to the steam ironing fabric setting you desire (Linen, Cotton, Wool or Silk) and allow the Iron to heat for 2 minutes. While the Iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on its heel rest on a stable, protected surface.

TIP: Refer to the "Ironing Guide" for the recommended setting for your fabric.

Ironing Tips

• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer's ironing instructions.

• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.

• You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics) to avoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.

• If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.

• When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.

• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the steam to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the Soleplate to dry out the moisture.

• To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot because the lining may melt or stick to the Soleplate.

• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron over the flap. Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.

• Use the "Ironing Guide" to select the best setting and method for the fabric you plan to iron.

* An ironing cloth is a cotton, dry-cleaned cloth that you place over the garment you are ironing to prevent the fabric from looking shiny.

Note: Some fabrics may require more steam than others. Your iron has the capability to adjust steam as needed.

USING THE IRON'S SPECIAL FEATURES

Spray Mist® Feature

The SPRAY MIST® feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases.

To use the SPRAY MIST® feature: Press the SPRAY MIST® Button firmly.

Shot Of Steam® Feature

The SHOT OF STEAM® feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of stubborn wrinkles. You can use this feature while dry or steam ironing, but the Water Reservoir must be at least 1/4 full of water.

To use the SHOT OF STEAM® feature: Place the Iron on top of the wrinkle and press the SHOT OF STEAM® Button each time you would like an extra burst of steam. The SHOT OF STEAM® feature may be used continuously with just a short pause between shots.

Vertical Steam and Vertical Shot of Steam

The Vertical Steam feature allows your Iron to function as a garment steamer. TIP: When using the Vertical Steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a clothes hanger

for best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed. To use Vertical Steam:

1. Make sure that the Iron has heated up (2 minutes).

2. Hold the Iron in a vertical position, with the Iron close to but not touching the fabric you want to steam.

3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.

4. Press the SHOT OF STEAM® Button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the Iron across the wrinkled area.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being steamed.

WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.

Patented Motion Smart® Auto-Off Feature

(Model 6021 Only)

When the Iron is plugged in, the Power Indicator will light steadily, indicating that there is power to the Iron.

If you leave the Iron:

• In a horizontal position without moving it, or accidentally tip the Iron over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. The Power Indicator will blink to let you know that the Iron has stopped heating.

• In a vertical position (on its heel rest) without moving it, the Iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. The Power Indicator will blink to let you know that the Iron has stopped heating.

IMPORTANT: The Power Indicator will continue to blink until the Iron is unplugged or reset.

To reset the Iron:

Move the Iron back and forth and allow it to reheat for 2 minutes. The Indicator Light will stop blinking and the Iron will start heating again.

WARNING: The patented MOTION SMART® Auto-Off is a safety feature, not a recommended means for turning your Iron off. See "Caring for Your Iron After Use" for information on turning off your Iron and storing it safely between use.

Anti-Calcium System

The Anti-Calcium System is a permanent system located inside the Water Reservoir. This system removes calcium from the water and reduces calcium build-up on the Soleplate.

CARING FOR YOUR IRON AFTER USE

Turning Off Your Iron

1. Turn the Steam Lever to O/Off and Fabric Select Dial to Off/Apag.

2. Unplug the Iron from the power source.

WARNING: NEVER yank the power Cord when unplugging the Iron. This can damage the Cord.

Storing Your Iron

1. Allow the Iron to cool.

2. If you do not use your Iron on a daily basis, empty the Water Reservoir after each use for a longer Iron life. To do so, unplug the Iron, turn the Iron upside down, open the Fill Hole Cover, and allow water to flow from the Fill Hole. Shake the Iron gently to remove trapped water drops.

3. Loosely loop the power Cord around the heel rest and store the Iron on its heel rest.

IMPORTANT: Wrapping the Cord around the Iron too tightly can damage the Cord.

TIP: When not ironing, always set the Steam Lever to O/Off and the Fabric Select Dial to Off/Apag .

Maintaining Your Steam Iron

CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE

Clean the Soleplate if starch or other residue accumulate. To clean the Soleplate:

1. Allow the Iron to cool and then wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. WARNING: DO NOT use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or vinegar to clean the

Soleplate. This will damage the finish.

2. Run the Iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE

You should use the Self-Cleaning feature to maintain the optimal performance of your iron. The Self Cleaning feature will clean the Water Reservoir and steam vents of accumulated minerals, dust and lint.

To use the Self-Cleaning feature:

1. Move the Steam Lever from O/Off to several times to remove debris and minerals from the steam valve.

CLEANING THE ANTI-CALCIUM SYSTEM

Your Steam Iron houses an Anti-Calcium Filter in the Reservoir, which eliminates impurities from the water.

To prolong the efficiency of this filter:

1. Unplug the Iron and allow it to cool.

2. Locate the water cup that accompanied the Iron. Fill it with water to the Max Fill mark. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and fill the Water Reservoir with this solution.

3. Leave the solution in the Water Reservoir for 15 minutes, then empty it.

4. Fill the Water Reservoir a second time with the salt water solution and empty it again after 15 minutes.

5. Fill the Reservoir with fresh water to rinse and empty. The Anti-Calcium System should be cleaned approximately once a month.
