1. Read all instructions.

2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or 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. 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.

4. Only use an iron for its intended use.

5. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other

6. Always turn the iron to MIN before plugging or unplugging the iron from the

electrical outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

7. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before

putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.

8. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron

with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.

9. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the 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 iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.

10. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

11. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand

is placed is stable.

12. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing

13. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use

caution when you turn a steam iron upside down—there might be hot water in the reservoir. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS3 This appliance is intended for household use only. w 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.

14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with

another high-wattage appliance.

15. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating

equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the 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 be tripped over.To order parts: US: 1.800.851.8900 www.proctorsilex.com Canada: 1.800.267.2826 Mexico: 800 71 16 100 Parts and Features How to Dry Iron NOTE: To dry iron, ensure that there is no water in Water Reservoir.
