USER MANUAL D2020 BLACK & DECKER

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 a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquid.

The iron should always be turned off (refer to “How to Use” section) 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. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around cord wrap when storing.

Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or emptying of water and when not in use.

Do not operate 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 serviceman for examination and repair. 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 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 water tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Soft-Touch Parts Note: The soft-touch parts of this unit are free of natural rubber and latex. They are safe for individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials. POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only) 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 electric 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. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amperes and 120-volt, or 7-ampere and 220-volt 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. D2000.Pub178674RV06 1/17/06 3:29 PM Page 24

Product may vary slightly from what is illustrated. How to Use This appliance is for houseold use only. Before first use, remove any labels, stickers, or tags that may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.

1. Using a clean measuring cup, tilt the iron and pour water

into the water-fill opening until the level reaches the MAX mark on the water window (B). Do not overfill.

2. Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water

processed through a home softening system.

3. Plug in the iron. The light on the handle glows and a beep

sounds. The digital display illuminates. Temperature setting 1 appears on the display.

4. To select a temperature setting from 1 to 7, press the

temperature button located below the digital display until you reach the desired setting (C). The readout will display the setting number and an "up" arrow will flash until the iron has reached the correct temperature for that setting. Note: There is a convenient fabric/temperature guide on the saddle of the iron (D).

• For steam ironing, be sure the water reservoir is filled, then turn the variable steam dial to the appropriate setting for the fabric you are ironing (E). For optimum performance at any steam setting, let the iron stand on its heel rest until operating temperature is reached, as indicated on digital display (see fig. A), before beginning to iron. When finished ironing on any steam setting, turn the variable steam dial to "steam off" before unplugging the iron.

• For dry ironing, move the variable steam dial to the “steam off” setting.

5. When the correct temperature is reached the iron will beep twice and the

arrow will disappear. The temperature setting number will continue to be displayed in the lighted area .

6. To change temperature settings while ironing, just push the temperature button.

When a lower setting is selected, a "down" arrow will flash until the iron temperature has lowered to the correct level for that setting.

7. About the Auto Off: When the iron is idle for 10 minutes, the iron will beep

one tone, the digital display will flash "Auto Off" and the iron will turn off.

2. Water-reservoir opening

5. Surge-of-steam button

9. Water window with MAX mark

2. Surge-of-steam button

"Auto Off" will flash in the unlighted window until the iron is unplugged. When the iron is picked up or moved, it will re-start at same temperature setting. To turn off the iron manually, press the power/temperature setting button for 2 seconds. This can be done from any temperature setting.

• For horizontal surge of steam (F): Set the fabric dial to the highest temperature setting. Be sure water window is filled to the MAX line. Let the iron stand on its heel rest until operating temperature is reached, as indicated on the digital display (see fig. A) before pressing the surge of steam button ( ). For best performance, use surge of steam at 5 second intervals.

• For vertical surge of steam (G): Be sure water window is filled to the MAX line. Hang the garment to be steamed on a clothes hanger. Curtains or draperies can be steamed once they are hung. Set the fabric dial to the highest temperature setting. Let iron stand on its heel rest until operating temperature is reached, as indicated on the digital display (see fig. A). Hold the iron close to, but not touching the fabric. Pull the fabric tight in your free hand and pump the surge button ( ) as you move the iron over the fabric. SPRAY

• For spray, be sure the water reservoir is filled. Push the spray button ( ) for a fine mist. If the spray is weak, pump the spray button several times. The spray will work on any temperature setting. IRONING TIPS

• Always read garment labels and follow manufacturer's ironing instructions.

• Synthetics are heat sensitive and may glaze or melt at high temperatures. Use lower settings. If you are unsure of a garment's fiber, test a small area (on an inside seam or hem) before ironing.

• Avoid ironing over zippers, snaps, buttons, pins, or rivets as they may scratch the soleplate. Care and Cleaning This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. If you iron frequently, it is not necessary to empty the water reservoir after each use of the iron. To empty the iron, hold the iron over the sink with the tip pointing down. Water will stream out of the water fill opening. To clean the outside surfaces

• Unplug and allow iron to cool completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy duty cleansers, vinegar, or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.

• After cleaning, iron with steam over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents. About the Self-Cleaning System

• Use the self-cleaning system to flush out minerals and lint. If lint is allowed to accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause brown spotting.

• Fill the iron as described in "How to Use" but keep the water level below the MAX line. Plug in the iron, set the temperature to 7, and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow to heat about 3 minutes.

• Unplug the iron and take it to a sink. Holding it horizontally over a sink, move and HOLD the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position ( ) (H). There may be some hissing and spitting while self-cleaning. This is normal.

• Stay clear of HOT steam and boiling water as it comes out of the vents while lint, scale, and minerals flush through! Continue to hold the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock the iron side to side and front to back to empty it.

• When finished, release the variable steam dial, stand the iron on its heel rest, and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water then unplug.

• Unplug the iron and allow it to cool. Wrap the cord loosely around the heel rest and tuck in the plug to secure it.

• Store vertically on its heel rest to prevent water from leaking from the soleplate.
