• Remove any labels, stickers or tags attached to the body or soleplate of the iron.

• Remove and save literature.

• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.

Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening

system.

Important: For optimum performance, let the iron stand for 90 seconds before begin-

ning to iron.

FILLING WATER TANK

1. With iron on flat surface with soleplate down, open water-fill cover

(A).

2. Tilt the iron and using a clean measuring cup, pour water into

opened chamber until water reaches the MAX level mark on the side

of the water tank. Do not overfill.

3. Close the water-fill cover.

4. Plug in the iron. The power indicator light illuminates.

Note: If you need to add water while ironing, unplug the iron and fol-

low above steps.

Tip: If unsure of a garment’s fiber, test a small area (on an inside

seam or hem) before ironing.

3-WAY AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF

The automatic shutoff feature in your iron works as follows:

• Once the iron reaches appropriate temperature, it will turn off after 30

seconds of inactivity if left on its soleplate or tipped over

on its side. If left vertically on its heel rest, it will shut off after

8 minutes (B).

• The power indicator light starts blinking to let you know that the iron has stopped heating.

• As soon as you pick up the iron, it will start heating again. Wait for iron to reheat completely before

resuming operation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, includ-

ing 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 liquids.

• The iron should always be turned to the minimum (min) setting before plugging

or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the 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 iron when storing.

• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying,

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 service person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate

toll-free number on the cover of this manual. 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 reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of iron

to minimize hot water spillage.

• 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 have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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

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

stand is placed is stable.

- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there is visible signs of

damage or if it is leaking.

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 cord rate at 15-ampere 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

IMPORTANTES CONSIGNES DE

SÉCURITÉ

Lorsqu’on utilise un fer, il faut toujours respecter certaines règles de sécurité

fondamentales, notamment les suivantes :

• LIRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES AVANT L’UTILISATION.

• Utiliser le fer uniquement aux fins pour lesquelles il a été conçu.

• Afin d’éviter les risques de choc électrique, ne pas immerger le fer dans l’eau ou

tout autre liquide.

• Toujours mettre le fer hors tension avant de le brancher ou de le débrancher.

Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher le fer. Saisir et tirer la fiche pour

débrancher le fer.

• Éviter de laisser le cordon entrer en contact avec des surfaces chaudes. Laisser le

fer refroidir complètement avant de le ranger. Enrouler le cordon lâchement autour

du fer avant de le ranger.

• Toujours débrancher le fer pour le remplir d’eau ou pour le vider, et lorsqu’il ne sert

pas.

• Ne pas utiliser le fer si le cordon est endommagé, si le fer a été échappé ou

endommagé. Afin d’éviter les risques de choc électrique, ne pas démonter le

fer. En confier l’inspection et la réparation au personnel d’un centre d’entretien

autorisé. Ou composer le numéro sans frais approprié indiqué sur la page

couverture du présent guide. Un assemblage incorrect peut provoquer un choc

électrique au moment de l’utilisation.

• Exercer une étroite surveillance lorsque l’appareil est utilisé par un enfant ou près

d’un enfant. Ne pas laisser le fer sans surveillance s’il est branché ou s’il se trouve

sur une planche à repasser.

• Les pièces métalliques, l’eau chaude ou la vapeur peuvent occasionner des

brûlures. Retourner avec précaution un fer à vapeur ou prendre garde lorsqu’on

se sert du jet de vapeur, car de l’eau brûlante peut s’écouler du réservoir. Éviter

tout mouvement brusque lors du repassage afin de minimiser le déversement

accidentel d’eau brûlante.

• Cet appareil n’est pas conçu pour être utilisé par des personnes (notamment des

enfants) dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales sont réduites

ou qui manquent d’expérience ou de connaissances, à moins qu’elles ne soient

supervisées ou dirigées par une personne responsable de leur sécurité pendant

l’utilisation.

• Les enfants doivent être supervisés afin d’éviter qu’ils ne jouent avec l’appareil.

• Le fer à repasser doit être utilisé et déposé sur une surface stable.

- Avant de déposer le fer à repasser sur son support, s’assurer que la surface

sur laquelle se trouve le support est stable.

- Ne pas utiliser le fer à repasser s’il a été échappé, s’il est visiblement

endommagé ou s’il fuit.

INSTRUCTIONS SPÉCIALES

• Pour éviter une surcharge du circuit, ne pas brancher un autre appareil haute

puissance sur le même circuit.

• Si l’emploi d’une rallonge est absolument nécessaire, utiliser un cordon de 15

ampères. Les cordons prévus pour une intensité inférieure risquent de surchauffer.

Faire preuve de prudence en veillant à ce que le cordon ne puisse pas être tiré ou

faire trébucher.

CONSERVER CES MESURES.

L’appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique

L’appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l’autre). Afin de

minimiser les risques de secousses électriques, ce genre de fiche n’entre que d’une

façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsqu’on ne peut insérer la fiche à fond dans la prise,

il faut tenter de le faire après avoir inversé les lames de côté. Si la fiche n’entre toujours

pas dans la prise, il faut communiquer avec un électricien certifié. Il ne faut pas tenter de

modifier la fiche.
