When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, 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.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9. 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 qualied serviceman or the manufacturer. Incorrect
assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the
iron is used after reassembly. Contact Customer Service
for information on examination, repair, or adjustment as set
forth in the Limited Warranty.
10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
11. When placing the iron on its heel rest, ensure that the
surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
12. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected
or on an ironing board.
13. 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.
14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the
same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
15. 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 re or electric shock due to
overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that
it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
16. Always close the lling aperture when operating the
appliance.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is
provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug ts 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 t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected
to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.

50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralized
water for use in the Iron. Press Water Fill Door down to secure
in place. Plug into outlet and the white arrows ( /)
will ash. Press the up ( ) or down ( ) arrow to select
temperature setting. See recommended Ironing Chart on
page 8. Move Adjustable Steam Lever to On ( ) (Steam Iron).
To Dry Iron: Plug into outlet. Press
up ( ) or down ( ) arrow to select
temperature setting.
2.
Preheat 2 minutes to reach desired

setting will stop ashing when ready.
Make sure Adjustable Steam Lever is in
Off
(Dry Iron)
position.
You are now
ready to iron.
3. To turn Iron off, move Adjustable Steam Lever to (Dry Iron)
position and press up ( ) or down ( ) arrow to turn OFF.
Unplug.
wCAUTION Burn Hazard. Attempting to steam iron on a lower
temperature setting or failing to allow the iron to preheat for
2 minutes can result in hot water dripping from the soleplate.

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 rst and test on an inside
seam.

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. Adjust the height of
your ironing board to this height.
3. Check the soleplate for mineral deposits or scorched material
before you begin ironing.

FAST FACTS:
• Always iron with a lengthwise motion. Ironing in a circular
motion may stretch fabric.
• Natural bers 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
rst.
• 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:
• Y
ou 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.

1. Unplug and allow Iron to cool.
2. To empty water from Iron, slide Water Fill Door Latch back
to release door. Lift Water Fill Door and slowly tilt pointed
end of Iron over a sink until all the water has poured out.
3. Store Iron on the Heel Rest. NOTE: Use the Steam Burst
Buttons to help clear steam vents of any mineral buildup.
Care and Cleaning
NOTES:
• Care should be used while cleaning; steam can burn.
• Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps since
these may scratch the soleplate.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• Do not use chemical cleaners or hot cleaners, as this will
damage the soleplate nish.
