IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
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 are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Use the appliance only for its intended use.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
Always turn the iron to OFF () before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
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.
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. Supply cord replacement and iron repairs must be conducted by a qualified serviceman or the manufacturer.
Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected 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.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
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.
Always close the filling aperture when operating the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

How to Dry Iron

Turn the Steam Switch off.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired temperature. Allow 2 minutes for the Iron to reach the desired temperature.

How to Steam Iron

Unplug. Then, using a measuring cup with a small pour spout, pour tap water into the water fill opening and fill the Iron to the MAX fill line. If you have extremely hard water, mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralized water.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting in the steam range. Allow 2 minutes for the Iron to reach the desired temperature.

CAUTION Burn Hazard

Attempting to steam iron on a lower temperature setting or failing to allow the iron to preheat for 2 minutes can result in hot water dripping from the soleplate.

Turn the Steam Switch to the desired steam setting.

Auto Shut-off

Iron will shut off automatically when:

Resting on Soleplate for 1 minute.
Resting on either side for 1 minute or 30 minutes, depending on orientation.
Resting on Heel for 30 minutes.

Care and Cleaning

Turn the Temperature Control Dial to OFF (). Unplug and let it cool.
Drain water and secure the Cord.
Store in an upright position.

Soleplate

Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since these may scratch the Soleplate.
To clean the buildup on the Soleplate, wipe with a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
Do not use chemical cleaners or hot cleaners, as this will damage the Soleplate finish.

Self-Clean

Flushes particles out of holes in Soleplate.
Add water to the MAX Line in the water tank. Plug into outlet and move Temperature Control Dial to. Wait 2 minutes to heat.
Unplug and hold the Iron horizontally over the sink. Carefully, press and hold Self-Clean Button for about 1 minute. After steam builds up, particles and steam will exit holes in the Soleplate.
Plug into an outlet. Allow Iron to reheat, waiting 1 minute for the remaining water to evaporate.
Unplug and cool completely. Wipe the Soleplate with a damp, soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Iron won’t heat.

Plug into an outlet. Select temperature.
Move or tilt the Iron to reset.

The water is leaking.

Too much water is in the water tank.
Adjust the steam to a lower setting. Ensure the Iron is set to a steam temperature setting.
The steam button was pressed while Iron was cold. Select temperature and preheat for 2 minutes. For best performance allow 3–4 seconds between Steam Button presses. If dry ironing, turn the Steam Switch to dry iron.

Iron won’t steam.

Add water to the Water Tank. Turn Steam Switch to. Allow 2 minutes for the Iron to reach the desired temperature.
The anti-drip feature will not allow steam when in.
