IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
TROUBLESHOOTING |
1.Read all instructions carefully.
2.Use iron only for its intended use.
3.To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
4.Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5.Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
6.Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water, emptying, or when not in use.
7.Do not operate iron with a damaged cord, or after the iron has been dropped or damaged in any manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Return the iron to
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.
10.Never use or rest iron on an unstable surface.
11.While the iron is hot, never set iron on an unprotected surface - even if it is on its heel rest.
12.CAUTION! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER INJURY, before filling the iron with water, make sure that the plug is removed from the outlet.
13.WARNING: Never fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starches or any other solution, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water.
14. CAUTION! TO AVOID FIRE, never leave iron unattended while it is plugged in.
15. CAUTION! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC
SHOCK, never use the iron in a location where it can fall or be pulled into water or another liquid. If the iron falls into water or other liquid, unplug it immediately. DO NOT reach into the water or liquid.
16. WARNING: Never use scouring pads, abrasive or chemical cleaners, or solvents to clean the exterior or soleplate of your iron. Doing so will scratch and/or damage the surface.
17.CAUTION! DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur.
18.Always store your iron standing upright, not on the soleplate. If stored face down, even the smallest amount of moisture will cause the soleplate to corrode and stain.
19.This appliance is for household use only.
WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
