IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including 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 liquid.
•The iron should always be turned off (refer to How to Use
section) before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank
cord to disconnect from 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 the 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. 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 surgeof steam - there may be hot water in the water
tank. Avoid rapid movement of iron to minimize hot water
spillage.
•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 are 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 rated at
15-amperes and 120-volt, or a 7-ampere and 220-volt 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.
