Please Read Before First Use:
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop
and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• 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.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare iron for
steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while
letting iron steam.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface
may damage that surface.
Do not iron or steam clothes that are being worn.
Do not use steam in the direction of people or pets.
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 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.
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. 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.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

wWARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electrical 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.

Temperature Control Dial
The Temperature Control Dial of your iron has fabric settings,
dots, and steam symbols.
a) Some fabric settings are indicated from lowest to highest
temperature.
b) The dots are International symbols for 3 temperature
ranges:
• Low Temperature – synthetics (nylon, acetate)
•• Medium Temperature – silk/wool/acrylic
••• High Temperature – cotton/linen/rayon/polyester
These dots correspond to international recommendations for
safe pressing temperatures. Fabrics are typically labeled with
the dots on garment care tags. They are a guide for selecting
the proper ironing temperature setting.
c) The steam symbols are used for selecting steam settings.
Steam should only be used at the high temperature setting.
Adjustable Steam Dial
When steam is desired, you can choose the
level of steam that best suits your fabric.
Adjust the steam dial between NO STEAM
and full steam .
