Turn the ADJUSTABLE STEAM/DRY DIAL to the INDICATOR MARK for (light), (medium), and (heavy) settings. (Figure F) Use the HEAT SETTING GUIDE on the body of the iron to help you match the type of fabric to the appropriate steam setting. 3. If water spotting occurs, reduce the steam level and/or increase the heat setting on the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR DIAL. 1. The Automatic Shut-Off™ Iron is designed to shut-off automatically after one hour whether or not it is in use. After the iron has been on for 55 minutes, the power light will begin to blink. It will continue to blink for 5 minutes to alert you that the iron is getting ready to shut off. 2. To extend your ironing time once the light begins blinking or to restart the iron if it has shut off automatically, simply press the PUSH ON button and the power light will come on. 3. To shut the iron off manually, turn the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR DIAL to Off and unplug the iron. NOTE: Simply turning the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR DIAL to Off will cause the soleplate to cool down but will not shut off the iron completely (the Power Light will stay on). The Automatic Shut-Off feature will turn the iron off completely after one hour. 8 STORING THE IRON 1. Turn the ADJUSTABLE STEAM/DRY DIAL to Dry. 2. Turn the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR DIAL to Off. 3.

Store the iron on its heel rest to prevent water from leaking from the Soleplate. *The Automatic Shut-Off IronTM is a trademark of The Black & Decker Corp. Care Of The Iron SURGE CLEAN™ 1. Using the Surge of Steam feature during regular ironing helps clean the steam vents. At the end of an ironing session and while the iron is still hot, use the the SurgeClean™ feature to help flush out lint. If lint is allowed to accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause brown spotting on garments being ironed. 2. Be sure the iron has water in it. Turn the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR DIAL to a setting within the steam band (settings 4 thru 7). 3. Turn the SPRAY/SURGE Button so that the Surge faces the INDICATOR MARK.
