IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: ■ Read all instructions. ■ Use iron only for its intended use. ■ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid. ■ The iron should always be turned to Off before plugging into or unplugging from an outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect. ■ Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS ■ To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit. ■ If an extension cord is necessary, a 10-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug and Underwriters Laboratories listing should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled on or tripped over. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other.

How To Use PREPARING THE IRON IMPORTANT: Follow this procedure to clean the iron before first use and to become familiar with its features. 1. Remove any labels, stickers, or tags which may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron. 2. Fill the Water Tank about 1/3 full with water (approximately 2 oz.). (See “Filling With Water,” page 6) 3. Plug the iron into a standard 120V (polarized) electrical outlet. 4. Set the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR DIAL to the Cotton or Linen settings (6 or 7).
FILLING WITH WATER FULL Figure A 1. Ordinary tap water can generally be used for ironing. However, do not use water processed through a home softening system. 2. In extremely hard water areas (over 180 parts per million) consider using distilled or demineralized water. If using distilled or demineralized water, tap water should be used the first time you use the iron and once per month thereafter to maintain steam performance. 3.
