IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

• Use iron only for intended use.

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

• The iron temp. dial should be turned to the minimum setting before plugging in or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

• Always disconnect iron from electric outlet before filling with water, cleaning, or emptying and when not in use.

• Do not operate the iron if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage to the iron or its cord, or if it’s leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not dissemble the iron; take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual. Incorrect reassembly can cause risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended when plugged in or on an ironing board.

• 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. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliances by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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

• When standing the iron on its heel, ensure that the surface on which the iron is placed is stable.
  SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock due to overheating. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

**SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.**
This product is for household use only.

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.

IRONING TIPS AND TRICKS

• The iron can be filled with ordinary tap water; if your water is hard, you may want to use 50 percent distilled water and 50 percent tap water.
• For optimum performance, allow the iron to stand on the heel rest about two minutes after filling before beginning to iron.
• If you’re unsure of the fabric’s content, test a small area (on the inside seam or hem) before you proceed to iron the entire garment or cloth.
• Whenever ironing a garment with mixed fabrics, select the fabric setting for the most delicate fabric. For example, when ironing a shirt that is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, use the “blend” setting.
• Whenever temperature settings are changed to a higher or lower temperature, allow the iron to stand 1–2 minutes to allow heat up or cool down. Test garment by pressing a small hidden area to make sure temperature of iron is correct.
