IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, 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 a 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. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
4. 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.
5. Use the appliance only for its intended use.
6. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the steamer/iron in water or other liquids.
7. Always turn the steamer/iron to OFF before plugging or unplugging from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull it to disconnect the appliance.
8. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the steamer/iron cool completely before putting the steamer/iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the steamer/iron when storing.
9. Always disconnect the steamer/iron from the electrical outlet before filling the water reservoir with water, emptying the water from the water reservoir, and when the steamer/iron is not in use.
10. Do not operate the steamer/iron with a damaged cord or in the event the steamer/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 steamer/iron. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be performed by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard. Contact Customer Service for information on examination, repair, or adjustment as outlined in the Limited Warranty.
11. The steamer/iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
12. Do not leave the steamer/iron unattended while it is connected to an electrical outlet.
13. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn the steamer/iron upside down—there might be hot water in the reservoir. Always unplug the steamer/iron and allow it to cool before attaching the fabric cover for delicates.
14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate the steamer/iron on the same circuit with another high-wattage appliance.
15. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the steamer/iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
16. Always lock the water reservoir cap in position before operating the appliance.
17. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitted from steam vents, check the appliance before each use by holding it away from your body and operating the steam button.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits 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 fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, 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. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Steamer Tips

• To avoid garment damage, check the garment label for fabric content and any steaming instructions.
• Hang garments on a plastic hanger for easier steaming. Wooden hangers will get damaged if used for steaming clothes.
• Wait 10 minutes before wearing your steamed garment or storing it in a closet.
• When steaming delicate fabrics, touching the fabrics lightly with the Fabric Cover for Delicates will help in wrinkle removal. The Fabric Cover for Delicates is only for use on the DELICATE setting.
• For more difficult wrinkles, try steaming from the underside of the fabric. This allows fibers in the fabric to relax.
• Pants are more easily steamed upside down, with pants hanging from the cuffs.

The Steamer/Iron will automatically shut off after 30 minutes of inactivity. To turn it back on, press PUSH on the Display.

Care and Cleaning

2. Remove the Water Reservoir and drain all water.
3. Replace the Water Reservoir on the Steamer/Iron and store it upright.

Soleplate

1. Never iron over zippers, pins, metal rivets, or snaps, since these may scratch the Soleplate.
2. To clean buildup on the Soleplate, wipe with a sudsy cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads, or chemical or hot iron cleaners. These will damage the Soleplate finish.
