DON'T pull plug from iron socket while cord
is connected to outlet. Each time you do so,
the electricity arcs or flashes when connection is
broken, gradually burning and pitting the termi-
nals and eventually resulting in unsatisfactory
operation of iron due to damaged electrical con-
tacts. Always disconnect cord at wall outlet. If
your iron is automatic, use thermostat to regulate
heat instead of pulling plug.

OTHER FIPS on Iron Care: Avoid ironing over buttons, hooks, zippers and other hard
articles that might scratch sole plate.... Keep bottom of iron clean by wiping with
damp cloth when cool or by using mild abrasive or fine steel wool if necessary
... Never immerse iron in water.... To remove starch, sprinkle a little salt
on waxed paper and run warm iron over it.... Never wrap cord around
hot iron.,.. Always let iron cool before putting it away.
DON'T drop your iron. Of course, you wouldn’t
do this intentionally, but use every precaution
against it. Dropping your iron may break inside
connections or damage the thermostat. More irons
are put out of commission by being dropped than
by any other single cause. Always set iron firmly
on a stand or its heel rest... never on a sloping
or slippery place.

DON'T use your iron if handle is rickety.
The constant wiggling of a loose handle causes
plug to rock back and forth on rigid terminals
in iron socket. This in turn produces arcing or
flashing of electric current inside the plug, which
burns and pits the terminals, resulting in poor
electrical contact and slow or irregular heating,
or perhaps no heat at all. Always have your iron
handle tightened at the first sign of looseness.
