THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: A risk of fire and electrical shock exists in all electrical
appliances and may cause personal injury or death. Please follow all
safety instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always, including the following:

◆ Read all instructions before using appliance.

◆ Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used near children.

◆ This appliance is not for use by children.

◆ Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the
iron. Contact Consumer Service for return authorization, for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.

◆ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron

in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.

◆ Do not use outdoors or while standing in a damp area.

◆ Use iron only for its intended use.

◆ 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.

◆ 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.

◆ 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.

◆ Do not leave iron unattended while hot or connected or on an

ironing board.

◆ Position iron carefully on ironing board to avoid it from being

knocked over.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

◆ 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 13 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.

◆ This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

Using Your Iron

Note: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the soleplate
steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric from residue
possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. To do this, see
FLUSHING.

For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam
setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or consult the
enclosed garment care tips pamphlet for additional information.

To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to
first iron garments that require low temperature. If you should need
to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example
Linen to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower
temperature.

Tips: If you are unsure of a garment’s fabric content, start on a low
setting and test the iron on an area of the garment that does not
show, such as a seam. Gradually increase the heat setting until
wrinkles remove without damaging the fabric.

To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the
steaming iron horizontally 2 inches above the fabric for a gentle
steaming. Make sure the iron does not come in contact with the fabric.

To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate
or rayon inside out.
