SPECIAL SELECT USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS STEAM & DRY IRON FSN100
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using your Iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using. 2. Use Iron only for its intended use. 3. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the Iron in water or other liquids. 4. The Iron should always be turned to MIN before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect. 5.
POLARIZED PLUG 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 in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

USING YOUR IRON NOTE: Before you use your iron for the first time, you should flush the soleplate steam vents to ensure that no stain is transferred onto fabric from residue possibly left in the vents from the manufacturing process. To do that, see SELF-CLEANING/FLUSHING.
FOR BEST RESULTS • Check garment labels for the temperature and steam setting recommended by the fabric manufacturer. • To prevent damaging garments from too hot of an Iron, it is best to first iron garments that require a low temperature. If you should need to switch from a high setting to a lower temperature, for example, cotton to nylon, allow the Iron about 5 minutes to reach the lower temperature.
MIN M EA ST Temperature Control Dial Variable Steam Dial IRONING WITHOUT STEAM The Iron can be used with or without water in the Tank. However, it is best to avoid having the Tank too full of water while ironing without steam. 1. Position Temperature Control Dial to the lowest MIN setting. 2. Turn the Variable Steam Dial to NO STEAM. 3. Stand the Iron on its Heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in. 4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting. 5.
IRONING WITH STEAM When using as a Steam Iron, be sure the temperature setting on the Temperature Control Dial is within the STEAM range to avoid water spotting on a garment. 1. Position Temperature Control Dial to the lowest MIN setting. 2. Turn the Variable Steam Dial to NO STEAM. 3. With the unit UNPLUGGED, fill the Iron's Water Tank. (See FILLING THE WATER TANK instructions.) 4. Stand the Iron on its Heel in an upright position on an iron-safe surface and plug it in. 5.
USING THE SPRAY BUTTON For a mist of water to moisten dry and difficult fabrics such as linen, cotton or wool, or to handle stubborn wrinkles, press the Spray Button . The Spray Function is also handy to moisten creases accidentally ironed into the fabric. NOTE: You may have to pump the Spray Button several times the first time your use the Iron in order to start the spraying action.
FILLING THE WATER TANK 1. Unplug the Iron before filling. 2. Turn the Variable Steam Dial to NO STEAM setting. 3. Hold the Iron upright but slightly tipped.. 4. Using a measuring cup, slowly pour water into the Water Tank Opening. 5. Check see-through Water Tank to see if Iron is filled to Maximum Fill Line. NOTE: Your Iron is designed to use tap water. However, if your water is very hard, it is recommended that you use distilled water.
SELF-CLEANING/FLUSHING Flushing the Iron is advised after every 5 uses to prevent harmful mineral build-up that can clog the Iron and prevent it from heating and steaming properly. 1. Position Temperature Control Dial to the lowest MIN setting. 2. Turn the Variable Steam Dial to NO STEAM. 3. Fill the see-through Water Tank to the Maximum Fill Line. 4. Plug the Iron in and set the Temperature Control Dial to its highest setting: Linen. Let the Iron heat for 2 minutes. 5.
TO CLEAN SOLEPLATE The Iron should be fully cooled before Soleplate cleaning begins. Make sure the Iron is unplugged before cleaning. Empty the Water Tank of any remaining water. Apply a small amount of mild cleaner to a damp cloth. Gently rub Soleplate, then wipe with a moist cloth. NEVER USE scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on the Soleplate, as this may scratch the surface. Wipe all other surfaces with a slightly damp cloth.
