• ALWAYS empty the water tank of the iron
after using. Water left in the tank may discolor
clothing and soleplate.
• If the iron cord should become twisted, unplug
iron and let cool. Hold iron cord in the middle
of entire length. Let plug and iron dangle freely
until cord uncoils. This will extend the life of
your iron cord.
• Check Temperature Control Dial is set to
correct fabric.
• Check Temperature Control Dial and adjust
to desired setting level. Let iron cool down
