When using your flatiron, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your
appliance.
3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
4. The iron should always be turned to OFF before plugging or
unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying and when not in use.
7. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Call our toll-free customer service number
for information on examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly
can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped over.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the out-
let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface
may damage that surface.
Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are being worn.
Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets.
Please Read Before First Use:
• During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This
will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with
tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes
conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
• To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for
steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes
while letting the iron steam. Press the Blast button several
times to clean the vents. Then follow the Self-Cleaning
instructions on page 10.
