IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Only use an iron for its intended use.

2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron

in water or other liquids.

3. Always turn the iron to OFF before plugging or unplugging

the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to

disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp

the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.

4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool

completely before putting the iron away. Loop cord loosely

around iron when storing. On models with retractable cord,

fully retract cord when storing.

5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before

filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron,

and when the iron is not in use.

6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event

the iron has been dropped or damaged or there are visible signs

of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock,

do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman

for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in

a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.

7. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

8. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface

on which the stand is placed is stable.

9. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or

near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron

is connected or on an ironing board.

10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or

steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down—

there might be hot water in the reservoir.

11. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same

circuit with another high-wattage appliance.

12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an

ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the

iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a

risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be

taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped

over.

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

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This product is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only

one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of

the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.

If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

• Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface

may damage that surface.

• Do not iron or vertical-steam clothes that are being worn.

• Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.

• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop

and does not indicate a defect or hazard.

• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water.

This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This

will stop after a few uses.

• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing

and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the

iron steam. Press the Steam Burst button several times to clean the

vents. Then follow the self-cleaning instructions on page 11.

Tips for Best Ironing Results

PREPARE TO IRON:

1. Cover your ironing board with a padded, heat-resistant cover. Brush or wipe off any dust, dirt, or debris so it doesn’t end up on your clothes.

2. To set the height of the ironing board, stand with your elbows bent at right angles; then drop your hands slightly so that your arms are in a

comfortable position. Set the height of your ironing board to this height.

3. Check the soleplate (the surface of the iron that meets the fabric) for mineral deposits or scorched material before you begin ironing. If these

deposits or minerals are left on the soleplate, they may end up on your clothes. Unsure? Test-glide the iron on a rag or old towel first.

TEST KITCHEN TIP: To clean an iron’s soleplate, preheat the iron to the highest temperature setting and iron over a damp, 100% cotton cloth.

This creates heavy steam that transfers grime from the soleplate to the cloth. Many irons have a Self-Clean Button. This will clean the steam

holes, but it will not remove grime from the flat surface of the soleplate. NOTE: Care should be used while cleaning; steam can burn.

FAST FACTS:

• Don’t iron in a circular motion as this can stretch fabric. Instead, iron lengthwise.

• Natural fibers such as cotton and linen should be ironed slightly damp for faster, easier ironing. If they are completely dry, use maximum steam

while ironing or mist them with water prior to ironing.

• Any portion of a garment that has two layers of fabric such as pockets, seams, collars, and cuffs should be ironed inside out first.

• To press a collar, iron from the points in using small strokes of the iron. After wrinkles are pressed out, crease the collar into place by hand—not

with the iron. Treat French cuffs similarly, gently creasing by hand after ironing.

IRONING VERSUS PRESSING:

• You may have heard the terms “ironing” and “pressing” used interchangeably, but they are actually quite different. When ironing, you slide the

iron back and forth over fabric. When pressing, the iron is placed and held on the fabric in one spot, lifted up, and this process is repeated until

the areas that need attention are smooth. A “pressing” technique is helpful to avoid stretching fabrics.

• A pressing cloth can help reduce unwanted “shine” on fabrics. You can purchase a pressing cloth in the laundry care section, or a clean white

dishtowel or 100% cotton pillowcase works equally well. You do not need to increase the recommended iron temperature when using a

pressing cloth.

FABRIC FACTS AND LABELS:

Every fabric is different and should be treated accordingly. The label inside clothing or linens should recommend fabric care instructions that

include ironing treatment. As a general rule, these instructions should be followed. If the fabric is a blend, use a low temperature setting. If you

do not know what the content of the fabric is, use the lowest temperature first and test on an inside seam.

Care and Cleaning

Allow iron to cool.

To clean an iron’s soleplate, preheat the iron to the highest

temperature setting and iron over a damp, 100% cotton cloth.

This creates heavy steam that transfers grime from the soleplate

to the cloth. Many irons have a Self-Clean Button. This will clean

the steam holes, but it will not remove grime from the flat surface

of the soleplate.

NOTE: Care should be used while cleaning; steam can burn.

NOTICE: To avoid damage to the iron soleplate:

• Never iron over zippers, buttons, pins, metal rivets, or snaps,

since they may scratch the soleplate surface.

• Allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soapy, soft damp cloth to

clean occasional buildup on the soleplate. Never use abrasive

cleaners or metal scouring pads, since they may scratch the

surface.

Do not store iron laying flat on

soleplate.

To empty water from iron, open

the water tank cover and slowly

tilt pointed end of iron over sink

until water runs out.

CORD STORAGE

Optional feature on select

models.

Do not unwind the cord past the

red tape on the cord.
