IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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

following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

1. Use iron only for its intended use.

2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.

3. 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.

4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.

Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and

when not in use.

6. 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. Call our toll-free customer

service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjust-

ment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

7. 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.

8. 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 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.

This product is intended for household

use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized

plug. This type of plug has one blade wider

than the other. The plug will fit into an

electrical outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature intended to help reduce the

risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to

insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing

the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,

contact a qualified electrician to replace the

obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat

the safety purpose of the polarized plug by

modifying the plug in any way.

Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing

on any other surface may damage that

surface.

Do not operate the iron with the Quick

Storage Shield attached.

Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that

are being worn.

Do not use vertical steam in the direction

of people or pets.

Things TO CHECK

• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?

Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.

• Is the Temperature Control Dial turned to

a fabric setting?

• If auto shutoff model, is the Reset Light

illuminated? If not, push to reset.

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Switch in a

steam position that matches the Temperature Control

Dial steam range? Did the iron have enough time

to preheat?

• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Switch

is in the DRY IRON position.

• Check the water level.

• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM position?

• Has the iron had enough time to preheat?

• ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron after

using. Water left in the tank may discolor clothing

and soleplate.

• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to

correct fabric.

• Check Temperature Control Dial and set to lower

setting. Let iron cool down 5 minutes before

continuing.

• Unplug iron and let cool. Hold iron cord in the middle

of entire length. Let plug and iron dangle freely until

cord uncoils. This will extend the life of your iron cord.

• Rewind a small amount of the cord, then fully depress

the Cord Release Button and pull the cord to desired

length.

• Check the water level.

• Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the Oposition?

• Is the Temperature Control Dial at highest setting (6)?
