Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or mechanical adjustment. • Do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning. • Do not use outdoors or while standing in damp area. • Use iron only for its intended use. • The iron should be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from outlet. N ever yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to d i s c o n n e c t . • Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing. • A l ways disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or e m p t y i n g and when not in use. • B u rns can occur from touching hot metal part s, hot water or steam. U s e caution when you turn a steam iron upside down — there may be hot water in the reservoir. • Do not leave iron unattended while hot or connected or on an ironing board. • Position iron carefully on ironing board to avoid it from being knocked over. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS • This is a high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. • If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 13 ampere cord should be u s e d . Cords rated for less ampera g e may overheat. • Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. • This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS sibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. To do this, see SELFCLEANING/ FLUSHING. TEMPERATURE AND STEAM GUIDE Fabric Temperature/Steam Delicates Nylon Acetate Silk Low Polyester Wool Medium Cotton Linen High For best results, check garment labels for the temperature and steam setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer, or consult the enclosed garment care tips pamphlet for additional information. To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an iron, it is best to first iron garments that require a low temperature. If you should need to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example Cotton/Linen to Nylon, allow the iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower temperature. 2 MINIMUM MAXIMUM MINIMUM MAXIMUM To freshen up garments made of velvet, felt, suede or velour, hold the steaming iron horizontally 2 inches above the fabric for a gentle steaming.Make sure the iron does not come in contact with the fabric. To prevent shine, iron dark garments or those made of silk, acetate or rayon inside out.

CAUTION: If the iron has been used for a long time and is hot, DO NOT fill it with water. USING AS A STEAM IRON When using as a steam iron, be sure the temperature setting on the control dial is within the STEAM range to avoid water spotting on a garm e n t . 1. Position temperature control dial to MIN, lowest setting. Diagram 2. 2. Position the variable steam dial to lowest setting. Diagram 3. 3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the iron with water.
