This product is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 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. Fully retract cord within unit 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. Contact an authorized service facility for
information on examination and repair. 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. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Before First Use
• 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.

spots
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to a
fabric setting?
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Switch in
a steam position, the Temperature Control Dial
in the steam range and did the iron have
enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam
Switch is in the DRY IRON position.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM
position?
• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?
• ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron
after using. Water left in the tank may discolor
clothing and soleplate.
• If the iron cord should become twisted, unplug
iron and let cool. Hold iron 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.

Caring for Your Iron and Soleplate
1. The Water Tank of your iron should
be emptied after each use. Turn
Temperature Control Dial to OFF.
Unplug the iron and hold over a
sink. Turn iron upside down until
Water Tank Opening is parallel with
sink. Water will run out of water
tank opening.
2. After iron has completely cooled,
store in an upright position. Do not
store iron laying flat on soleplate.
Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, as
these may scratch the soleplate.
2. To clean occasional build-up on the soleplate, wipe with
a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads.
3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.
