[. . . ] before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. [. . . ] To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it can not be pulled or tripped over. After the iron has cooled, wrap the cord loosely around the handle.

If you experience leaks or spitting, change to untreated tap water or inexpensive bottled spring water. Allow iron to heat up (light goes out) before using steam. The shut off circuit in the handle produces a small amount of heat. This is normal and will stop when iron is switched on. The light goes on and off showing the thermostat is switching the heat on and off to maintain the correct temperature. Always allow iron sufficient time to heat up before activating the steam control. Move steam control forward and back several times to clear blockage. AFTER IRONING Unplug the iron. The variable steam control must be at the "max. " setting in order to empty the water from the tank. After emptying always push the variable steam control to the "min. " setting and allow the iron to cool down before storing away. Always store the iron on its heel (protects the soleplate). You should never store your iron on its soleplate even when it is cold. [. . . ] Move the iron gently back and forth and from side to side until all water has run through. Carefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate with an old folded towel, as the water and minerals can stain the soleplate (although this has no effect on glide or performance). WARNING: Iron and soleplate may still be hot, exercise care while wiping. IMPORTANT: Before using the iron after self cleaning, test steam and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth to ensure all loose material has been removed from the iron. [. . . ]
