IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
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 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. Coil the cord loosely around the iron 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, damaged or 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. 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.

8. 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.

9. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.

10. 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.

11. 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 appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

12. Always unplug electric iron before filling the water reservoir.

13. Do not open water reservoir during use.

14. Always use and rest appliance on a heat resistant, dry, stable, level surface.

15. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding and facing it away from the body and operating steam button.

16. When filling the water reservoir, do not allow water to drip onto the floor.

17. To avoid personal injury and damage to the appliance, only add water to the water reservoir. Never add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.

18. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or void your warranty.

19. Use caution while operating the appliance due to the emission of steam.

20. For models with retractable cords: Always hold plug while retracting the cord.
    For Cordless Irons:

21. 0nly use the stand provided.

22. Place the iron on its stand after use. Make sure the stand is placed on a heat resistant, dry, stable, level surface.

IRONING TIPS

• Before ironing, check the garment label and follow manufacturer’s instructions. If no instructions, start with a low-heat setting and test by ironing a small area, and gradually increase heat.
• Sort garments by fabric type. Iron articles requiring a low-temperature setting and gradually work up the temperature range.
• When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower one, allow 5 minutes for change.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric to allow the steam to penetrate the fabric and the heat of the soleplate to dry the moisture.
• Iron linen garments inside out to prevent shine. An ironing cloth or cotton fabric can be used to reduce shine.
• If the garment is lined, use a low heat setting.
• Ensure zippers are closed and flap is flat. Iron over the flap, holding the garment taut.
• Spray starch makes the job easier.

IRONING Tips
IRONING SHIRTS

• Begin with the collar and work toward the middle from the outer edges. Iron lengthwise, not in circles.
• Lay shoulder over narrow edge of the board and iron one side of the front. Then iron the shoulder, across the back (below the collar line), the other shoulder and the remainder of the front.
• Iron sleeves and cuffs, working down from the underarm seams. To remove creases, shift the double layer of sleeve fabric and iron out.
• Iron body of garment, from half of the front around the back, then second half of front. If your shirt does not open, slip over end of ironing board and iron front and back in turn.

IRONING PANTS

• Begin with the waistband and inseam area, then pockets and cuffs.
• Pull waistband on pointy end of the board, as if you’re “dressing” the ironing board. Iron upper-front part of the pants, including the waistband.
• Place pants parallel to ironing board lengthwise so both legs are facing the same direction. Iron each leg by moving the iron back and forth along the pant leg.
• Take cuff of the leg and bring it over towards the waistband to iron the inner part of the leg. Repeat these 2 steps for the second leg.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
