Thermocolor™Steam Iron
As the temperature changes...So does the color!
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your 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 “min” position 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 Water Tank.
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.

Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 modify the plug in any way.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may
not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from
other appliances.

Auto Shut-Off
For added safety, the Iron will shut off automatically when either of the following
instances occurs:
• The Iron is left standing in the vertical position (on its Heel Rest) for more than
15 minutes.
• The Iron is left in the horizontal position (on its Soleplate) for more than 30 seconds.
When the Iron switches into Auto Shut-Off mode, the green Auto Shut-Off Light will
