When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
fo l l owed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, 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 any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a damaged
cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.Return appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or mechanical adjustment.

• Do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid.See instructions for cleaning.

• Do not use outdoors or while standing in damp area.

• Use iron only for its intended use.

• The iron should be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
N ever yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to
d i s c o n n e c t .

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

• A l ways disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or
e m p t y i n g and when not in use.

• B u rns can occur from touching hot metal part s, hot water or steam. U s e
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
u s e d . Cords rated for less ampera g e 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, this plug will 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 SELF­CLEANING/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 a low temperature. If you should need to switch from a high

setting to a lower temperature, for example Cotton/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.

USING AS A DRY IRON

The iron can be used on the dry setting with or without water in the tank, how­ever it is best to avoid having the tank too full of water while dry ironing.

1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2.

2. Turn the variable steam dial to the lowest setting. Diagram 3.

3. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and
plug it in.

4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting. Diagram 2.

5. When the ready light turns off, the iron has reached the desired tempera­ture.

6. When finished, turn temperature control dial to MIN, and unplug. Allow the
iron to cool before cleaning the exterior or storing.

NOTE: During ironing, the ready light may turn on again which indicates that
the iron is heating up to maintain the proper temperature.
CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO NOT fill it
with water.

USING AS A STEAM IRON

When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting on the control dial
is within the STEAM range to avoid water spotting on a garm e n t .

1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2.

2. Position the variable steam dial to lowest setting. Diagram 3.

3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water. (See FILLING THE
WATER TANK instructions.)

4. Stand the iron on its heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and
plug in.
