EP480H2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS reassembly can cause the risk of electric shock when the iron is used. 9. 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. 10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down; there may be hot water in the reservoir. 11. Never direct steam at any person, especially when using the iron in the vertical position. The steam is very hot and can cause burns. 12. This apliance is for household use only. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high- wattage appliance on the same circuit. 2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, use a 13-ampere cord. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Use care to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. SAVE THESE 1 POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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 no attempt to defeat this safety feature. For Household Rev. 01/04B TROUBLESHOOTING 10 Printed in China When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions carefully. 2. Use iron only for its intended use. 3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. 4. The iron thermostat should always be turned to its lowest position before plugging in or unplugging from the electrical outlet. 5. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect. 6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. 7. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water, emptying, or when not in use. 8. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord, or after the iron has been dropped or damaged in any manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Return the iron to the nearest service facility for examination and repair. Incorrect PROBLEMPOSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONSIron does not heatThermostat ready lightgoes On and OffSome odor or small particles come out of steam vents of new ironIron does not steamWater droplets comingfrom steam vents• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only. Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket. • Temperature setting too low. Turn to higher setting. • This is normal. The light goes On and Off as the thermostat is switching the heating element On and Off to maintain the selected temperature. • This is normal. Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam through 2- 3 fillings & press the steam burst button occasionally to eliminate small white particles. • Water tank may be empty or water level is very low. Add water. • Make sure that the temperature control dial and the variable steam control are correctly set. Formaximum steam, (setting " Max" on steam control), temperature control dial should be set on "• •• ". • Adjustable steam control is set on " 0". Always allow the iron to reach the selected temperature with the adjustable steam control setting at "0". Make sure the temperature control dial is set in the correct steam area, e.g. " • ", and the steam control is noton "0". For more steam, turn temperature dial to higher setting, e.g. "• •• ", and the steam control to "Max". • If temperature setting and steam control setting arecorrect and there is no steam, gentlytap the soleplate on the ironing board a few times. Movethe variable steam control from "0" to "Max" a fewtimes. • Iron may not be hot enough. Set thermostat to the"Max" position. Always allow iron sufficient time toheat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating the variable steam control. • Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time betweeneach burst. • Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,emptywater and follow instructions for filling. • Steam performance be low if iron requires seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2 tanks until steam improves. 2 1. Do not rest iron on soleplate. 2. Never use or rest iron on an unstable surface. 3. While the iron is hot, never set iron on an unprotected surface - even if it is on its heel rest. 4. WARNING! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER INJURY, before filling the iron with water, make sure that the plug is removed from the outlet. 5. CAUTION: Never fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starches or any other solution, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water. 6. WARNING! TO AVOID FIRE, never leave iron unattended while it is plugged in. 7. WARNING! TO P...
