IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. 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 are closely supervised and instructed
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Use appliance only for its intended use.
5. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron
in water or other liquids.
6. Always turn the iron to OFF ( ) before plugging or
unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. To unplug,
grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the
power cord.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Always close the filling aperture when operating the
appliance.
3
10. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the
event the iron has been dropped or damaged or there
are visible signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the
risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Supply
cord replacement and iron repairs must be conducted
by a qualified serviceman or the manufacturer. Incorrect
assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the
iron is used after reassembly.
11. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
12. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface
on which the stand is placed is stable.
13. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is
connected or on an ironing board.
14. 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.
15. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the
same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
16. 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.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
Direct steam at clothing only. Directing steam toward any
other surface may damage that surface.
• Do not steam clothes that are being worn.
• Do not use the steam in the direction of people or pets.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is
provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a
polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug
by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

1. To Steam Iron: Make sure iron
is unplugged and the steam shot
lever is at (Dry Iron) position.
Lift Water Fill Door and add
untreated tap water to the MAX
Fill Line through the opening. If
you have extremely hard water,
mix 50% untreated tap water with
50% distilled or demineralized
water for use in the iron. Press to
snap cover closed. Plug into outlet. The red Power/Ready
Indicator Light will flash. Turn Temperature Setting Dial to
select temperature setting; linen/cotton, or wool should
be used for steaming. When temperature is reached, the
light stops flashing. The Steam
Shot Lever can now be moved
to (Steam Iron) position and is
ready to steam.
2. To Dry Iron: Plug into outlet.
The red Power/Ready Indicator
Light will flash. Turn Temperature
Setting Dial to select temperature
setting. When the temperature is
reached, the light stops flashing.
Move the Steam Shot Lever to
(Dry Iron) position and you are ready to iron.
3. To turn iron off: Move Steam Shot Lever to (Dry Iron)
and turn Temperature Setting Dial to min. Unplug.
How to Dry and Steam Iron

a lower temperature setting or failing to allow the iron to
preheat for 2 minutes can result in hot water dripping from
the soleplate.

1. To Steam: Make sure iron
is unplugged and the Steam
Shot Lever is at (Dry Iron)
position. Lift Wate
r Fill Door

FABRIC FACTS AND LABELS:
Every fabric is different and should be treated accordingly. The
label inside clothing or linens should recommend fabric care
instructions that include ironing treatment. As a general rule,
these instructions should be followed. If the fabric is a blend,
use a low temperature setting. If you do not know what the
content of the fabric is, use the lowest temperature first and
test on an inside seam.
PREPARE TO IRON:
1. Cover your ironing board with a padded, heat-resistant
cover. Brush or wipe off any dust, dirt, or debris so it
doesn’t transfer to clothing.
2. To set the height of the ironing board, stand with your
elbows bent at right angles; then drop your hands slightly
so that your arms are in a comfortable position. Set the
height of your ironing board to this height.
3. Check the soleplate for mineral deposits or scorched
material before you begin ironing. Follow “Soleplate Care”
instructions.
Tips for Best Ironing Results

Tips for Best Ironing Results (cont.)
FAST FACTS:
• Always iron with a lengthwise motion. Ironing in a circular
motion may stretch fabric.
• Natural fibers such as cotton and linen should be ironed
slightly damp for faster, easier ironing. If they are completely
dry, use maximum steam while ironing or mist them with
water prior to ironing.
• Any portion of a garment that has two layers of fabric such
as pockets, seams, collars, and cuffs should be ironed inside
out first.
• To press a collar, iron from the points in using small strokes
of the iron. After wrinkles are removed, crease the collar into
place by hand. Treat French cuffs similarly, gently creasing
by hand after ironing.
IRONING VERSUS PRESSING:
• You may have heard the terms “ironing” and “pressing”
used interchangeably, but they are actually quite different.
When ironing, you slide the iron back and forth over fabric.
When pressing, the iron is placed and held on the fabric
in one spot, lifted up, and this process is repeated until
the areas that need attention are smooth. A “pressing”
technique is helpful to avoid stretching fabrics.
• A pressing cloth can help reduce unwanted “shine” on
fabrics. You can purchase a pressing cloth in the laundry
care section, or a clean white dish towel or 100% cotton
pillowcase works equally well. You do not need to increase
the recommended iron temperature when using a pressing
cloth.
