Black and Decker D2030 Iron

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to the minimum (min) setting before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away. Loop the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate toll-free number. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down or use the surge of steam – there may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
• The plug must be removed from the socket outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
• The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

SAFETY FEATURES

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 into 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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

• Once turned off, the digital display will go dark, but the words “AUTO OFF” will continue to show in the display.
• As soon as you pick up the iron, it will beep once and start heating again to the set temperature. Wait for the iron to reheat completely before resuming operation.
• To turn the iron off manually, press the power/temperature setting button for 2 seconds; this can be done from any temperature setting.

EMPTYING WATER TANK (OPTIONAL)

Note: It is not necessary to empty the water after each use.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer the service to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING

1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and has cooled completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy-duty cleansers, vinegar or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.
2. After cleaning, steam iron over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents.

AUTO CLEAN® SYSTEM

To keep the steam vents free of any buildup, follow these instructions when the word “CLEAN” appears in the digital display:

1. Fill the water tank well below the MAX line. Plug in the iron.
2. Press the temperature setting button to 6 and set the iron on its heel rest. Allow it to heat for about 3 minutes.
3. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink with the soleplate facing down.
4. Move and hold the variable steam dial in the CLEANposition. Be careful, as hot water and steam will come out of the steam vents.
5. Continue to hold the variable steam dial to CLEAN until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock the iron side-to-side and front-to-back.
6. When finished, move the variable steam dial to steam off, stand the iron on its heel rest, and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water.

STORING

1. Unplug the iron and let it cool completely.
2. Check that the variable steam dial is set to steam off.
3. Store the iron on its heel rest. Storing iron on its soleplate can cause leaks or damage.
