IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed 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. Do not
disassemble the iron. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair or mechanical adjustment.

• Do not place any part of the unit in or under water or other liquid. See instructions
for cleaning.

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

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• The iron should be turned to MIN 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 hot iron unattended.

• 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 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.

ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric from residue possibly left in the vents from the
manufacturing process. To do that, see SELF-CLEANING/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 to Silk, 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.

PATENTED AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF

This iron has two kinds of safety shut-off mechanisms. One is a patented, touch-sensitive “brain”
in the handle which turns the iron on or off when it is in the horizontal position. The other is a timer
which automatically shuts the iron off if left on its heel in the upright position for more than 15
minutes.

Horizontal Position: When the iron is plugged in and in the horizontal position, it will remain on
as long as your hand is making contact with the handle. Once you take your hand off the handle,
the iron automatically turns itself off. For example, if you are ironing and leave the iron down on the
ironing board to answer the phone, the iron will automatically begin to de-energize. It will turn back
on as soon as you grip the handle and resume ironing. Important: To return the iron to the desired
temperature, allow it to rest in the upright position until the red POWER ON/READY light goes off.

Upright Position: When the iron is plugged in and resting on its heel, it will remain on for 15
minutes, allowing ample time to reposition garments during the ironing process. If the iron is left
resting for more than 15 minutes, it will automatically shut-off. To begin ironing again after the timer
has shut off the iron, pick it up by the handle. The green and red lights will come on. Turn
temperature dial to desired setting and return iron to its upright position. When temperature setting
has been reached, the red POWER ON/READY light will go out — you are ready to iron.
