Use & Care for Steam Irons ............................
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 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. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. 3. 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. 4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Before First Use Features • Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. • 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. • During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
Features Caring for Your Iron (not all features on all models) Spray and Blast of Steam Buttons Iron Push spray button to release a fine spray of water for difficult wrinkles in cotton or linen. Push blast button for an extra blast of steam. 1. Turn temperature control dial to Off. Unplug and let cool. The iron takes longer to cool down than it does to heat up. 2. To empty water from iron, slowly tilt pointed end of iron down over a sink. Water will run out of water tank opening. 3.
Troubleshooting (continued) Won’t steam. • Check the water level. • Is the Adjustable Steam Switch in the STEAM position? • Has the iron had enough time to preheat? Leaves spots. • ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron after using. Water left in the tank may discolor clothing and soleplate.
