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 any appliance is used near children.

• This appliance is not for use by children.

• The Iron is designed to rest face down, on the heat resistant pad while

it is in use. Do not place the hot iron on an unprotected base, the water supply cord or the power cord.

• Do not use or rest iron on an unstable surface. Always position iron

carefully on base on a stable ironing board or table to avoid it being knocked over.

• Do not set hot iron on an unprotected surface—even if it is on its heel

rest.

• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling the tank with

water or emptying and when not in use.

• Do not fill the water tank with fabric conditioner, starches or any other

solution, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water.

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

ironing board.

• Do not immerse the iron, base, or cords in water or other liquid. See

instructions for cleaning.

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

• Do not aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while using

the iron or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur.

READ AND SAVE 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.

• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use

caution when turning the iron upside down as there may be hot water in the system.

• Do not allow cords to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before

putting away. Loop cords loosely around iron when storing.

• Always store the iron face down on the heat resistant pad or on its heel

rest. This will allow air to circulate around the soleplate.

• Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a dam-

aged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Do not disassemble the iron. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service center for examination, repair or mechanical adjustment.

• The iron should be set to MIN before plugging or unplugging from outlet.

Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

• Use iron only as indicated in these instructions.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not

operate another appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13 ampre 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, 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.

This product is for household use only.

IRONING TIPS

CAUTION: AVOID COMING IN CONTACT WITH ESCAPING STEAM.

1. Sort clothing according to temperatures shown on sewn-in labels.

2. Iron items needing lowest temperatures first. This saves time waiting for iron to cool down and heat up each time.

3. If you are unsure of the fiber content of a garment, test a small area that will not show (a seam or inside hem) before ironing.

4. When in doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkle remains, gradually increase heat to find the best setting for good results without damaging the fabric.

5. Avoid ironing over zippers, rivets, etc. as they can scratch the Iron’s Goldtone Non-Stick Soleplate.

6. When reducing the Temperature/Steam Control for delicate fabrics, allow approximately 2 minutes for the iron to cool to the new setting.

7. Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen and silk are best ironed with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.

8. Always remove garments from hangers before ironing.

9. We recommend using distilled water or water which has been demineralized.
