IRON FULLY FEATURED

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your flat iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Use iron only for its intended use.

3. To protect against a 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. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used. Contact Consumer Service for examination and repair.

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 15-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.

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 Nylon, allow the iron to cool down for 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.
