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 into or unplugging from an 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 cord wrap when storing.
❑
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with or
emptying of water 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 serviceman 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 surge
of steam — there may be hot water in the water tank. Avoid rapid
movement of iron to minimize hot water spillage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not
attempt to remove the outer cover
. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
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 15-amperes and 120-volt,
or 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.
