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, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electri-
cian replace the outlet.
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
Please Read Before First Use
• 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 condi-
tioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare iron for
steam ironing; then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes
while letting iron steam.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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. Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your
appliance.
3. To protect against 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. Call our toll-free customer service number
for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly
can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Leaves
spots
• Is the iron plugged in and the outlet working?
Check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Is the Temperature Settings Button set on a
fabric setting?
• Iron may have gone to auto off (blinking red
light). Push “Settings” to restart and adjust to
desired temperature.
• Do not overfill the water tank.
• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Dial in a
steam position, the Temperature Settings
Button in the steam range, and did the iron
have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam
Dial is in the (DRY IRON) position.
• Check the water level.
• Is the Adjustable Steam Dial in a 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.
• If the iron cord should become twisted, 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.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)
Soleplate
1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since
these may scratch the soleplate.
2. To clean occasional buildup on the soleplate, wipe with
a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads.
3. Always store iron upright in the heel rest position.
Self-Clean
To keep the steam vents clear of any buildup, follow these
instructions each time you iron using steam.
1. Set Temperature Settings Button to OFF ( O ) and set
Adjustable Steam Dial to (DRY). Fill iron with water
to 1⁄2 of its maximum capacity.
2. Set Temperature Settings Button to Linen setting and let
iron heat for 2 minutes. Keep Adjustable Steam Dial on
(DRY).
3. Set Temperature Settings Button to OFF ( O ). Unplug iron
and hold over a sink with soleplate facing down.
4. Turn Adjustable Steam Dial to (MAX), while pressing Self-
Clean Button often. Boiling water and steam will flow out of
steam vents. Allow all water to drain from iron.
5. Gently move iron front to back to allow water to clean
entire soleplate area.
6. If water still remains inside of soleplate, reheat iron as
indicated in Step 2. Boiling water and steam could still flow
out of steam vents.
